Gosky12x50ED High Definition Monocular - Newest Waterproof Telescope-BAK4 Prism for Bird Watching Camping Travel (smartphone holder not broken in)

Great product.

I bought the Gosky 12×50ED as I'm struggling to use Binoculars nowadays due to balance issues and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. I mainly use them for looking at Birds ships and boats from my yacht. I went for the ED model as it has better glass optics and is supposed to be waterproof though I'll try not to put that to the test.So far I've mostly been impressed by the ease of use and the clear image it focuses well and is pleasant to hold I can follow bird's in flight easily and see a good clear image at several miles although I haven't tried it with the smartphone adapter due to it not fitting my Nokia XR20 phone but will dig out an old Samsung and tripod and give it a go sometime soon. My only gripe is that I have tried on several occasions to register the guarantee online but I am unable get the link to work so I assume its not guaranteed beyond the Amazon money back guarantee?.

I own two very good astronomical telescopes and I know about and am fussy about optical quality. I wanted a monocular with decent optics for general use but at a reasonable price and I can confirm that this unit is top quality for the money. The ED and Bak4 glass works really well. Image is very clear indeed with minimal if any, colour fringing in high light contrast tests. The build quality of the unit is excellent and 'solid' as well. I definitely recommend this monocular if you want quality but are only prepared to pay too much extra for it.

Not sure how good this is yet, but the strap holder broke, during strap install. Cheap plastic.Disappointed. There is a lot of noise out there regarding best monocular.This one did seem to pop up in a lot the various top 10 reviews ,so is popular apparently. The other one i was looking at was the more expensive Bushnell.

I strugle with binoculars, this replaces a cheap telescope that is quarter the price - new one is 20 x better quality and clarity!

Missing smartphone adapter.The description of the item says:"You will receive:Monocular with ED GlassSmartphone Digiscoping Adapter[...]"Did not receive one in the box.

Quick delivery from the USA, easy to use, high quality.. Lives up to expectations and the other reviews

Bit bulky and with other reviews the camera set up on my phone is poor to the point i wont use it

Je suis très contente vois bien comme décrit

El producto es bueno, la definición es buena, pero no es excelente. La relación precio producto es aceptable

The media could not be loaded.  ▼△▼2022/04/01 Postscript.▼△▼Hey there!　Hope you are enjoying your monocular life.I have a bit of information for you today.This monocular is not bad, but I was concerned about flare when backlit.So I decided to install a hood.Let's conclude.54mm, guys!　The 54mm fit perfectly!The rubber covering the body was shifted slightly to expose the screw hole at the tip, and a step-up ring from 54mm to 55mm was attached. (......It fit smoothly in my case, but please do so at your own risk.)In my opinion, the flare seems to be much better and the sharpness of the image has improved.　I would like to think that the effect was more than the investment of less than 10$ and the risk of losing some portability.And what's more!You can use CPL filters and all sorts of other filters as much as you want, and you might be able to attach a tele conversion lens to play with it, although I doubt it will work properly.　It's a dream come true. ......Eh? Am I the only one who dreams like that?In the meantime, I have uploaded a photo of a 55mm camera lens hood attached, if you would like to take a look. Also, some cute birds.▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼△▼My hobby is observing and photographing wild birds with monoculars and smartphones.　Sometimes I use a tripod, but I prefer handheld if possible.　I was using Nikon 6×18ED but it was too dark.　So I bought this one, which uses an ED lens with a 50-diameter.The size of the 50-diameter lens was very effective for my purposes.　Bright! It's bright!Unfortunately, the chromatic aberration was quite large and the effect of the ED lens was not as high as I had expected, but perhaps my expectations were too high.　Or maybe the price is right.If you take darker pictures, the aberration becomes much less noticeable.It's still in the testing stage, but you can check it out in the attached photo.I think it is a good value monocular for those who think that this level of photography is sufficient.I am also satisfied with the price. 　However, I am planning to test it with the [Opticron dba vhd+ 10x42 monocular] or [VANGUARD VEO HD2 1042M] for a further leap. What?　Are you saying it's smarter to buy a good camera? 　Ha-ha-ha-ha!I used the Huawei P30 Pro.Video was taken with the standard lens, and photos were taken with the 5x telephoto lens. (Standard lens is 500mm with digital zoom x 1.6, telephoto lens is 1620mm)Slow motion shooting is recommended since handheld video shooting can be blurry.Also, it is useful to use a dot sight together, even if it is a cheap one.　It also makes it easier to find wild birds when observing them.Well, wishing you all a better monocular life!

Top, gerne wieder

Très satisfait de cet achat, l'image est nette et sans aberration chromatique (contrairement aux modèles premier prix). C'est plus lumineux que ce qu'on obtiendrait avec des jumelles d'un poids équivalent. Cependant attention ce n'est pas du tout un monoculaire de vision nocturne, il n'y a aucune amplification.La construction semble solide, on verra sur le terrain pendant les vacances, je compte l'utiliser en mer (s'il y a un souci je viendrai modifier mon avis).Le grossissement convient parfaitement pour observer les oiseaux ou les mammifères marins par exemple. De toute manière c'est le maximum utilisable à main levée, au delà de 12x il est impératif d'utiliser un trépied car il y aurait trop de tremblement.
