Celestron 52322 LandScout 60mm Spotting Scope Telescope, Army Green

I already own a more expensive and powerful scope, but needed something a little smaller for a holiday. Bought this 10x30 as a punt at the price, but was amazed by its quality when it arrived. Really clear from 10 through to 30 and so light and compact, exactly what I was after.

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.

the pros are the landscout is light and portable is easy carried packed away for travel the images through the lense is fairly clear with good light transmission field of view is reasonable oboviously narrows as you increase magnifacation it weight is 500grams i believe i mean for the price you ll not get a better little scope tripod needed for higher magnifacation you can handhold to a degree at the lower magnifacation it only comes in angled version now a few cons nothing major it has bak 7 glass some people reckon bak4 is better images but trust me ive had many sciopes bak 7 work well in this unit the large focusing wheel can be a little stiff the eye relief is a little short but still buy this scope you wont be dissapointed theres other cheap scopes out there simular price wont hold a candle to this one i paid 66 pounds wait for this price you should buy it for said price good luck hope this helps

Its ok but a bit small

Simply excellent quality - I was amazed at how clear and crisp the images were through this scope throughout the entire zoom range, it's literally as good as the naked eye and I am continously impressed. Can't recommend this scope enough, you really get what you pay for!

I knew this would be small but when it arrived it was tiny. Image quality isn't going to match a Swarovski of course, but it's clear and bright, and it's perfect for travel to places you don't want to take your expensive, heavy scope. I don't trust optics in checked baggage, even inexpensive ones, the thieves don't know that until it's too late. This scope is so small it fits in a lens pouch and into my hand luggage, no problem. The included desktop tripod is no good for the field so I bought a £10, 127cm Amazon Basics tripod which weighs in at 550g. Scope and tripod under 1kg for £75, seems too good to be true! It blows over if you sneeze but it's a great match and for travel it's perfect.

Great for Birdwatching, Impressive bit of kit, Sturdy design and well worth the money.. thanks

It certainly looks the business but unfortunately won't focus properly so I can't get an image pin sharp so especially no good for small objects at distance or digiscoping.
