This scope was everything it claimed to be. Granted this was my first spotting scope, but the first time my wife and I used it, she easily helped me zero-in my weapon at 100 yds. The tripod was used at the table level. It's not the best tripod, but it did it's job and I expected that. I have the option to use my camera tripod. Magnification and clarity was excellent. I shopped for quite some time for an inexpensive scope. This was the best deal that I found for its features, price and free shipping. Amazingly, it comes with a hard case and a soft carry case; very versatile. I am happy!
Pros: Price, Free Shipping, ease of set-up and use, dual case.
Cons: None encountered
