When I was looking for a 3-leg tripod for on the go, I decided on this one from K&F. I already have a few of his products and have been quite happy with them so far. Well packed in a box was the tripod with accessories in a transport bag. At first glance, everything made a very good impression on me. The low weight of the tripod was positive right from the start, which is ideal for on the go. Then I took a closer look and I have to say that the integrated selfie stick is very practical. The stand is also good and firm, because the tripod can be set up at a wide angle. I found it a bit cumbersome just getting the stick out of the tripod, but it's possible if you know how ;-) A BT remote control including a CR2032 battery, a wrist strap for it, English instructions (excerpts, see photos) and a smartphone holder were also included. What I liked best was the holder for the smartphone, because I don't use the other things. The locking of the extendable tripod legs was also new to me, because you only have to press the plastic locking either in and out. Ultimately, this results in a good and secure hold. The maximum load of up to 4 kg is top, so I was able to screw on my DSLR camera without hesitation. The processing is okay, the quality of the overall package too, only the operation could not inspire me completely. But overall I'm happy with it because it's also light, for on the go. On the other hand, the price-performance ratio is good and that's why I can recommend this tripod. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that I was able to help a little with this, also with the photos.

SCOPE OF DELIVERY
Everything is included to get started right away! In addition to the tripod, there is also a suitable smartphone holder and a universal remote control for self-timer recordings. All packed in a matching carry bag. Top!

SMARTPHONE HOLDER
The simple and very compact smartphone clamp can be folded and has two retaining threads, as well as a cold shoe adapter for attaching accessories (light, microphone...).

REMOTE CONTROL
Useful accessory for self-timer recording. The remote control is very easy and uncomplicated to pair with the smartphone. The battery is already inserted and a strap is also included.

COMPACT DIMENSIONS AND USER-FRIENDLY OPERATION
The tripod can be folded into a very compact pack size. The legs have a rotating mechanism. The direction of rotation for loosening and tightening is printed on the legs. Operation is very simple and intuitive, even for beginners. The weight is not that light, but the tripod is extremely stable and makes a robust impression. The processing quality is good in all areas.

FUNCTIONAL
Another special feature is the functional use. Besides being used as a tripod, it can also be disassembled and used as a selfie stick.

CARRYING CASE
I didn't like the tote swap that much. On the one hand, it's good that a bag is included, but it doesn't make a particularly robust impression. Such a great tripod would definitely have deserved a better bag and would definitely round off the overall impression. Another small minus point is that the tripod does not have a built-in spirit level. Since the tripod is designed for smartphones, you can get over it. My smartphone or the factory camera app shows the angle.

CONCLUSION
I am very positively surprised. In the meantime I have tried different tripod solutions especially for smartphones from different manufacturers. I am very impressed with the quality of this one. A manufacturer unknown to me to date, which is on the same level as products from manufacturers such as Manfrotto.

Nice tripod, smartphone holder included (unexpected bonus!). Works well and is easy to set up. The ball head requires some training but offers good flexibility. The tripod is heavier than I expected for "lightweight carbon fiber".

In summary: Impressive for beginners and amateurs, easy to use. Pretty shaky without stabilization at this zoom. In detail: Compared to my outdated binoculars, I, as a layman, am impressed by the magnification and, above all, the zoom option. The sharpness can be adjusted very well and easily. I cannot measure the magnification power myself. At full zoom, however, it is difficult to hold the monocular freely in your hand - you should hang it up somewhere or use the tripod. The tripod is not particularly large or stable, so it only serves its purpose to a limited extent. A very nice feature is the holder for the smartphone: you clamp the device in the holder, align the opening with your smartphone camera and fix everything with an adjusting screw. Then the holder is clamped onto the telescope. I had to stabilize and hold my Pixel 6 here because it is relatively heavy and the construction does not hold securely. Depending on the camera, there is strong vignetting. Tip: If the smartphone camera has an optical zoom switch to zoom, I was able to almost completely remove the vignetting. It takes a bit of practice to get a sharp, shake-free image. Then you can certainly land one or the other snapshot. Alternative to the camera with telephoto zoom? - No way. A nice feature and good for the occasional snapshot in the garden? - Surely.

The monocular itself makes a very good impression, the workmanship is impeccable and the part looks super robust!
The resolution and sharpness are excellent and it is also great to use for people who wear glasses.
The monocular can be attached to a tripod (not included in the scope of delivery) via a thread on the underside. This is a standardized mount to which you can basically attach any tripod. In addition, the monocular is waterproof and with approx. 325gr. also quite easy.

Unfortunately, the smartphone holder isn't much good. On the one hand, it is simply attached and can therefore fall off again very easily, which definitely happens. On the other hand, aligning the phone lens is very fiddly and you have to hold the smartphone permanently, otherwise it usually tilts slightly and the image section no longer fits.

It also bothers me that the smartphone holder does not fit in the small bag that is included in the scope of delivery, so you always have to carry it with you separately.

Conclusion: Really good and robust monocular, with fantastic resolution and super sharp image. The smartphone holder, on the other hand, is unfortunately super cheap and poorly implemented.

I am impressed with the quality of the Starscope Monocular by VivReal. Zoomed images are very clear and it is easy to focus. It is nicely packaged with accessories; smartphone holder, remote control, carry bag, tripod and cloth. I have a couple of tripods I will be using with it since the accompanying tripod is small and limited in its use. The smartphone holder takes time to get comfortable with. I haven't had a chance yet to get really good focused pictures with my iPhone. I am hoping with time I will get better at it. I primarily use the monocular for looking at birds and other wildlife. I look forward to many hiking adventures and trips to the mountains using my new monocular.
