Handheld, easy to use. I was a little surprised how big the range actually is. Attached is a picture I actually took of the moon with the phone line.

This is the best monocular I have used to date and would thoroughly recommend using it. Trouble was the smartphone attachment is useless for a Samsung Galaxy S20 and used for every phone of this size I should imagine there are a few! It's a shame as I really wanted to see how it would work. Surely keep the monocular as it's really very good for what I want. Bird watching, country walks etc.
Nice carry case which is useful as it has a shoulder strap but forget the instructions as they are for binoculars. Easy to use so you don't need them anyway.

I don't think you can get a better zoom monocular at this price point or anywhere near. The picture is crystal clear and the zoom is exactly as described.
I see that some reviewers have had trouble focusing on this. The method of focusing is a bit unusual and may seem fiddly at first, but once you get used to it it's not a problem.
I do a lot of serious mountain hiking, so I don't want to carry around heavy binoculars. This little gadget fits the bill perfectly

For the price there is nothing to complain about I can only recommend it and would buy it again at any time.
Handy, small, light, super easy to use and good optics, my old expensive binoculars aren't much better either, but a lot more unwieldy and heavier, especially when travelling.
For those who need it, there is a mount on the underside, which makes it very easy to attach to any standard tripod, but this only makes sense if you fully utilize the zoom power. At full zoom, it becomes very difficult to hold it in your hand without shaking.
In addition to the telescope, the scope of delivery also includes a practical belt pouch in which it fits exactly and very good and precise instructions in German.
To all those who give a bad rating here because they say it cannot be sharpened.
People learn to read, it's child's play and explained in detail in the instructions.

I received the K&F CONCEPT a few days ago. It appears to be well made - sturdy and the adjustments feel suitably snug. It came with a carrying pouch that attaches to a belt. There are lens covers for both ends, a wrist strap and a place to attach a tripod. The pictures show it both fully compressed (for carrying and storing) and fully extended. I use it to watch the birds at our backyard feeders, birdbath and aviary. The image allows me to see each bird up close, making it easy to distinguish between some of the similar species. This one now sits next to my chair for quick viewing of interesting bird activity.

The lenses are adjustable depending on what you see and where, they are made of very strong material and very durable. They include a nice bag and strips to take with you and an adapter for the phone! How cool is that!
It's the perfect place to watch beautiful animals from afar in the afternoon and take cool pictures! 10/10 would recommend. The quality of the item is much better than the price I paid!

The light, small monocular is easy to handle and take with you. It is ideal for observing birds and wild animals, because the image quality and resolution is great for this price level.

I bought this monocular scope for my kids, the scope is good value for money and the images or very crisp and clear. The kids love it and would recommend for spotting wildlife in the country with the kids or just looking at the views on walks. It's also great for taking photos and videos on the phone.
Image sharpness is excellent given the price, I don't think I'd add any noticeable sharpness although colors could potentially be a bit more saturated. With a steady hand there is little to no shake.
Overall great binocular replacement.

Overall it was a good buy for the money! I'm sure it's quite difficult to find better ranges in this price range. It's fairly portable, which was my main priority. The only downside is the settings, which are very fiddly and will take you some time to experiment with focusing. You need both hands/fingers! The manual that comes with it is pretty useless so you'll have to figure it out for yourself, but after this "breaking in" it seems pretty easy to use. The 30x magnification is a bit excessive, but you can still zoom in surprisingly deep. Obviously the image gets 'shaky' after 20x magnification, so you'll definitely need a tripod there - neither this nor a phone clip are included in the pack, which is unfortunate.
Good usability in low light, right down to a quality lens.
Highly recommended people!
Pros:
- Low cost - Good value for money
- Strong magnifying power
- Portable with good build quality
- Also good with wearing glasses
- Not much distortion in the corners
CONS:
- Rather fiddly to set up
- Both hands are required to use
- Less stable image with higher zooms - a tripod is a must
- No accessories in the pack

So far I've used this monocular to view birds and animals while hiking and have been impressed with how clear an image you get and how easy it is to get it focused!
( It was even easy to adjust between 10x and 30x magnification and needed surprisingly little adjustment)
It's also very easy to wear. You can roll it up very compactly and put it in a coat pocket and it comes with a nice little carrying case.
One thing I will note for anyone like me who has not used a monocular before. It is important to look at the directions :)
When I first took it out of the box and just tried to use it without reading the instructions, I couldn't see anything - it was just fuzzy. Then after seeing that it had to be lengthened first and then that there was a hand wheel, suddenly it worked perfectly!
I took pictures of the monocular next to a large mitten just to give you a feel for how wearable it is.
