I bought this a while and wanted to take it to the range a few times before leaving a review. I have used a lot more expensive scopes than this one. My shooting budy has a Celestron just a more expensive one. He had good experiences with their customer service so, I felt a little better about the brand than others. My son also has a telescope by Celestron. They make some pretty good stuff.At the range I typically spot at 100 yards for my .308 and .223. I hunt with my .308 so it needs to be dialed in. I normally use one of the targets that you can get from Wal-Mart that has a red center dot, black ring around that, then green rings that lighten up until white on the outside.When shooting my .223 at 100 yards I was able to see every round that was on the red, black, green, or white. I purposly shot in different areas of the target just to see how well it would show up with this scope. Everything was easy to see. I could adjust the focus to see clearly with or without my glasses on(I have pretty bad eyes). We moved targets up to 50 yards and my buddy was shooting his .22 at that range. He was shooting on a white target with orange bull's eyes. All of his shots were easy to see. Just a little adjustment and there you have it. One review said that someone was using this scope past 100 yards. You may be able to do that with a larger round and some of those splatter targets but the targets I was using and with a smaller round like the .223, you would be pretty hard pressed to do that. I dropped a star for that.As far as everything that comes with the scope, the tripod is awesome. I know a guy who bought one of those cheep Barska scopes. His you can't see out to 100 yards, the the tripod was a piece of junk. The one with this scope is really nice. The swivel arm is nice and works really well. The scope is well built. The case is nice.Overall a great buy, I'm glad I purchased this scope. I plan to use it for a long time.

I'm not an expert when it come to optics. I can say that the reviews in this seem to be correct . I've only used it at 25 yards so far. It is a nice clear picture and magnified the little 22 caliber holes like I was holding the Target up to my face. Like other reviewers wrote , I'm sure this scope will do well with farther distances . This was a nice affordable way of getting rid of the cheapy binoculars I was using. I couldn't believe the prices on some of the high end models. Really now? If your looking to see little holes in paper this will do it clearly for you. In my opinion ,It will also do well as a nature watching scope. It may not do well if your trying to see the American flag on the moon.The only minor issue I found was that twist handle that locks the scope into position, has to be snugged down good or the scope will move out of position. The scope itself seems to be good quality. The tri pod does its job but doesn't seem to match the quality if the scope that it holds. Bottom line is that it appears to be a good scope at a great price. It also came with a handy carry bag that has a little devider to keep the tri pod and scope from rubbing together. This was the un expected icing on the cake for me. Yup! Ya can't beat that with a stick.The surprise bag kept me from taking off a star for the minor tri pod issue. I say buy it !

I’m someone who is just starting to get into star gazing and sky viewing. Wasn’t sure if I want to go for a good pair of binoculars or telescope. Then came across spotting scopes. Happy I decided to try it out because I was able to get some nice pictures of the moon and able to even get Jupiter and it’s moons on video. The video might be blurrier then I recorded because of being compressed. But I used a phone adapter to hold it steady to the scope. (I used and iPhone 11 to take the photos) Once I found the object in the sky I would zoom in as much as I could with the scope and then let the iPhone zoom the rest of the way. It’s nice when smart phones automatically adjust the exposure and brightness to get the best shot.Had it for couple weeks now. Pretty sturdy design and the tripod suits me as I have a small table to put it on. Just don’t expect amazing zooms like with telescopes, but with the help of a phone that has a good camera you get pretty great shots. Again I’m just someone just getting into this, but would totally recommend it for anyone who wants a starting scope. Hope this helps those looking for specific answers that I was looking for when testing those scope out.

Celestron Landscout 12-36x60mm is a great entry-level spotting scope. The reason I bought this product is mainly as a back-up scope for lunar/stargazing. I'm not expecting a lot on this product based on the reviews since most of them indicate a fair/okay performance. And yes, it not fail me.Object brightness is great at low power, but decreases as you go high, however if there's one great thing I like about this product is the optical clarity. I tested it on a cloudy night on the moon, and was pretty impressed by the detail of the moon at 24-36x magnification.For more usability, procure a separate tripod and don't bother with the tabletop tripod(even though it's mediocre at best)included on the package.Price of the product is practically a giveaway, so that's a plus. The body of the scope is well-made, though the rubber covering is just enough, as well as the lens caps. The handy bag was a plus too, I was surprised that it was well-made, though not "protective" enough for accidental drops.Overall, a good starter spotting scope.

I tried a few other low cost scopes and this was my favorite. I made some photographs of birds holding the phone's lens up to the eyepiece and it seemed fairly sharp with some lens aberrations. Maybe I'll try the adapter.It's almost needless to mention but as light drops off, so does image, but not until the high end 20s. As light drops, so does information. But the aperture is fine.I don't think the tripod collar around the tube and tripod screw mount comes off, but it's useful, so I guess it doesn't make that much difference. I just thought it would be nice to remove it.I recommend a tripod but it can be hand held at lower power.I took a star off because they are new,but the scope seems good enough so that it may earn the extra star.A side note. I have an older pair of 7x50 Celestron Ultima binoculars and they are very nice optically (very good light catchers), but whatever the sticky foam finish, around the barrel is, it broke down over time and is annoying.Amazon ratings and reviews, were helpful. Big thanks!

You get what you pay for, but this is not bad for the price and function. I wanted this for target practice and it should do the job.I have several Binoculars to compare with, and MFG's can claim whatever specs they want like 12-36X... but in my tests this is more like a true 12-20X. Not a deal breaker for me... so I reviewed this as a 12-20X.The Pros:1. Good scope overall for the price.2. Very portable.3. Small and easy to carry.4. If your looking for a spotting scope in the 12-20X range this is not bad for the price.5. Good portable Spotting scope.The Cons:1. Not as sharp as my other Binoculars. (Even my cheap Borska 20X80 was sharper, clearer, and better colors).2. Colors are weaker than my other Binoculars.3.Contrast is weaker than my other Binoculars.4. As pointed out in another review, 12x is close to 12x, but the 36x is closer to 20x.5. Bag is ok for scope... but a very tight challenge for scope & Tripod. Another 1/2" would have been nice.

I bought this through Amazon Warehouse. As far as I could tell, the item was condition match the description. There were some scuffs to the body but no issues that would affect the optics.I bought this mainly for archery. I shoot up to 60 meters at the moment. For that range, this scope is perfect. The optics are clear enough for that distance and very bright. I'm able to see arrows easily.The design worked great for my purposes. Its easy to change the angle of the eyepiece and focusing. It mounted easily to my photography tripod and is lightweight. Easy to take to the range and back. I can store the scope in its bag and in my backpack. It adds a little weight but barely noticeable.As a first time scope user,I'm glad I went this route because it met all my needs without being a significant purchase. If there are versions on Amazon Warehouse., its definitely worth the purchase.

Nice little scope for the money. It's good for my old eyes out to 100 yards, but I don't think it would be powerful enough to be very useful at greater distances. That's okay for me because that's about as far as I shoot. The tripod is okay and packs into the case with the scope, which is its best feature, but it doesn't adjust for height.Pros: Very light and compact; clarity and brightness are good; easy to set upCons: The light weight makes the scope susceptible to wind and other vibrations -- a heavier, sturdier tripod would help with this; eye relief could be better, though I don't feel it's a deal breaker.For me, the greatest value of this scope is its portability.If you're lugging a lot of gear it might save you an additional trip between the car and your shooting station. I'm happy with the purchase.

An excellent scope, but not for viewers with glasses for astigmatism. This is a nice scope, easy to use and the provided tripod is quite sufficient for the magnification. At full magnification, looking 300 yards into my back yard, the image had uniform flat focus and no discernible chromatic aberration (what all the cheap scopes have). However, if you wear glasses for astigmatism, and you must use your glasses with telescopes and binoculars (I do), this is NOT for you. There is very little eye relief, so if you wear glasses, your field of view is about 1/3 that of without glasses. This makes it useless to me. I was very sad to return it. If you are just near or farsighted (spherical correction only),then you can still use this without your glasses. Highly recommend at the $50 price I paid.

For the price, not half bad. Image quality for the 12x36 isnt bad one the one I was shipped. Its not the best ive used for sure but it does the job without costing 1000 bucks too. Ive been using at distances up to a mile for sheep hunting. Its clear enough to easily judge size at 1000 yards. Focus is easy, eye relief sucks. I like it that way though so I can rest my eye one eye piece and never get the distance wrong. Not very good looking into valleys with sun glare. Best used like all spotting scopes with the sun at your back. Low light performance or on shadowed hillsides is a fair at best but so is the performance of 500 dollar optics too. For the price buy a celestron over any barska,simmons etc. You Won't regret it

I had been looking for a reasonably priced spotting scope for some time and this certainly fits the bill. I comes complete with lens caps and tripod stand in a nice zip case with carrying strap. The 12 to 36 magnification is adequate for the ranges at which we shoot and the large focusing ring is easy to use yet firm enough that it does not move accidentally. The tripod mount thread is similar to camera tripods so you could always add a lower or higher tripod to suit your needs. For indoor 25 metre shooting the unit sits neatly on the firing bench. The scope is held in the tripod mount by a ring mount which is adjustable so you can have the eye piece facing in any direction you favour.An excellent product at the price.

So I recently was strong armed back into the world of shooting by my friend, to start competing in .22 bullseye pistol competitions. The first thing I noticed was my field glasses were useless at 50 yards to see .22 holes in the target. I started to compare everything under $600. I then realized at this point of my life 50 yards is my limit in shooting, so a full sized spotting scope was silly. I made a new friend at a match who had this scope and he let me try it out. I ordered it 2 minutes later. Is this a Leopold Mark Series spotter, nope, but for the money I can see very clear. It is now a constant companion to every range session. The zoom and focus are very smooth,and I am glad I bought the angled version.

I was torn between this and a similarly priced compact telescope that presented itself as a way to do astronomy. I went with this due to being reviewed as good for star gazing, but also (from how it presented itself) being for daylight viewing of wildlife, etc. I've been very happy with it. Fun to have it along and it's easy to take along. Tripod is good, sturdy, etc.FYI: I'm looking at small, portable camp tables to go with it, as it has to rest on something (the tripod's legs are about 10-12" or so). I'll use the table for a lot of other things, so I don't mind buying that additional item to make this more useful.That's something to keep in mind though as far as what it takes to make this useful.

There are a great number of expensive, crappy telescopes out there; lots of them emblazoned with the well known names of organizations that should know better. Best advice I ever got was to skip flimsy and low end telescopes for a kid starter in favor of a good entry level spotting scope. Well, this product fits the bill perfectly.The little stand is remarkably stable. The scope reflects expected Celestron quality. Magnification and field of view are just fine for a newbie.If you have a youngster who has expressed interest in the sky, the moon, or the deer in the field over there, (or if you need a lightweight and handy go-to scope for the car), this is a solid, functional,well priced choice.
