I also agree that this scope is worth the asking price and better! i've had a few different similarly priced spotting scopes before and none of them was near as good. The tripod is nice and sturdy and the rubber-armor makes it very durable, able to withstand the elements, and it makes for easy transporting. Extreme rain and fog has never once been an issue for me using it. I would recommend.

I was most pleased with this purchase, the service was first rate and the product is I feel, worth the asking price. The rubber armor is a good touch, as is the screw on eyepiece lens protector. For the money, I feel that this is a good scope. A good quality fully adjustable tripod is a must have if you want to get maximum use and enjoyment from it though.

This is by far the best spotting scope there is. The tripod is a little bit short that comes with this scope, but the scope itself works like a dream. I highly recommend and wouldn't give it a second thought!

I was not impressed with this spotting scopes ability to gather sunlight. I also was unimpressed with the higher power and how the image became blurry.

I highly recommend this and other products from this company.OpticsPlanet is easy to buy from,and the products are of excellent quality.
