FAQs

What is the field of view at 20x and 60x magnification?

The field of view is approximately 101 ft/1000 yards at 20x magnification and 51 ft/1000 yards at 60x magnification. Please note these are approximate values.

Is this scope waterproof?

The scope is designed to be weather-resistant, offering protection against light rain and splashes due to its durable rubber armor. It is not fully submersible.

Can I use this scope for astronomy?

Yes, the scope can be used for basic astronomical observation, such as viewing the moon. For detailed planetary or deep-sky viewing, a dedicated astronomical telescope is recommended.

How do I clean the lenses properly?

Use a soft lens brush to remove loose dust, followed by a lens cleaning solution applied to a microfiber lens cloth. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion. Never use abrasive materials or breathe directly on the lens.

What is the exit pupil size?

The exit pupil size is approximately 3.0mm at 20x magnification and 1.0mm at 60x magnification.

Does the tripod offer adjustable height?

Yes, the included tripod features adjustable legs to set a comfortable and stable viewing height.

What is the eye relief?

The eye relief is approximately 13-15mm (0.51-0.59 inches), which is generally adequate for eyeglass wearers, although individual comfort may vary.

Troubleshooting

Blurry or unclear image

Ensure the focus knob is properly adjusted. Clean the objective lens and eyepiece. Check that the zoom setting is not at its maximum if the image is unstable.

Difficulty attaching smartphone adapter

Loosen the adapter's mounting screws, align it with the eyepiece, and then gently tighten. Ensure your phone is positioned correctly within the adapter's clamp.

Scope image is shaky

Ensure the tripod is securely locked and on a stable surface. Use the focus knob to refine the image; at higher magnifications, even slight vibrations are amplified. Consider reducing magnification slightly or waiting for stillness.

Reduced field of view at high zoom

This is normal. The field of view inherently narrows as magnification increases. Zoom out slightly for a wider perspective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Powerful and versatile magnification range for various applications.
  • Excellent image clarity and brightness, even in low light.

  • Includes useful accessories like a tripod and smartphone adapter for immediate use and content creation.

Cons

  • Achieving a completely stable image at maximum magnification (60x) can be challenging without a very steady tripod.
  • The field of view may narrow significantly at higher zoom levels.
  • Low-light performance, while good, might not match higher-end optics.
  • The included smartphone adapter may require some adjustment for optimal alignment.

Care:
