Didn't get the more expensive version which, as I do well, only offers a strap to make it easier to hold. Since it's "just money," I wish I'd spent it. My hands are small and I have arthritis so it's a bit difficult and tiring to hold the thing while not heavy. It's just a little bulky. I could never find what I'm looking for with binoculars. This monocular makes it MUCH easier for me to find what I want. And the "controls" are easy to use and fast. If the bird would just stay still. I had a lot of trouble connecting my iPhone 11 Pro to it, however, to the point where I just plugged the phone in since I hardly ever used it anyway. I was disappointed with the quality of the photos which are very pixelated but the image on the screen is great. The first order came to me incomplete but when I emailed the seller he immediately emailed to say he would send me a complete one immediately and he did! I have rarely had such good and experienced customer service.

"K&F Concept monocular telescope/telescope" is evaluated. The telescope is predominantly dark green and consists of an aluminum alloy with a non-slip rubber layer. The telescope has a total size of 20 cm , at the front , at the lens , the diameter is 6 cm , at the back , at the eyepiece , it is 4.5 cm in diameter . It has a magnification of 10 - 30 with a lens diameter of 50 mm. The telescope sits securely in the hand and is easy to adjust. If you have a firm, level surface, you can use the tripod, otherwise it's too wobbly. The magnification is set with the large wheel on the eyepiece, and the sharpness can be readjusted with the small wheel. The view is quite clear and clear , quite sharp overall , it takes a little getting used to when taking pictures . Overall, the telescope is okay for the price. 4 stars !

I like that I can plug in my phone and take close up shots BUT it takes so long to adjust. I find it painful to align the K&F Concept with the middle camera on my Samsung Note 10. I first tried a different brand monocular but it was made cheaply, the settings weren't sharp and the tripod broke. I then looked at it again and decided to spend the extra money. So glad I did. As soon as I took it out of the box I could feel the difference in quality. Slightly heavier than my previous one, but better overall. There will always be shots I want to take freehand (an eagle) so I have to keep in mind that the image may not come out. Using the tripod proves to be more effective with the clarity of the images.

Very good monocular for the price. I use it for nature and bird watching. It seems solid to handle to me. I have the smartphone holder that comes with it. The attached photo was taken at a distance of between 700 and 900 m. The result speaks for itself. For the price that can hardly be asked for observing nature and wildlife, he does his job very well. At night you can see if there is a light source on what you are looking at. I state that I wear glasses and that they are suitable for this. In short, I recommend it to people who do not want to invest too much in a monocular and at the same time want very good performance.

The monocular seems solidly made. (I haven't tested the water resistance, shock resistance, etc. yet.) Focusing via the focusing wheel is smooth, yet precise enough. Overall, the haptics are also okay. Since there is no fine adjustment for the diopter compensation, you may have to. looking through the eyepiece with glasses: a must for me as a glasses wearer. That's fine too. (Ametropia is now so widespread that the diopter adjustment on binoculars cannot cover the different needs at all.) A sun visor would be desirable to reduce the lateral incidence of light in strong sunlight. The mobile phone holder is usable, but superfluous for me.

Received the K&F Concept 12x50ED Mono very quickly. I am very enthusiastic about the high quality. Very bright lens and super bright clear and sharp image. Minimum distance is 1.6 meters to sharpen the focus. Ideal for observing insects and other small animals nearby. It is also ideal in twilight as it makes the picture appear a lot brighter. Unfortunately, a tripod is not included, but a stable mobile phone holder is. I tested my iPhone 6 Plus on the K&F Concept with a tripod and I'm thrilled with the recordings. Very good details, contrast, brightness and edge sharpness. Simply top this part.

The K&F Concept 12x50 monocular is a nice, handy product that I can pair with my iPhone to take decent bird photos while driving. Very practical and practical, although the circular format of the photo requires post-processing for it to be useful.

the telescope is nice and small and light, so it fits in any backpack or jacket pocket. The device itself is nice and stable, feels good in the hand and with a little practice it can be adjusted quickly so that you see what you want to see. In general, the telescope is of course in the lower price segment and of course you can get much better ones ... but also at a much higher price for occasional observers, but this telescope is definitely recommended!

After unpacking, the rubber smelled very strongly. But after a while it mostly goes away. With devices that are even wider, I have my doubts about whether this is possible. It is a game of patience to align the lens optimally. It must also be clear that you can only take a round picture with a black border. Of course, you can edit and align the image. But I would rather say it is not suitable for taking pictures with a smartphone. Therefore, I would consider the value for money rather than too expensive. It's great to use as binoculars or binoculars. Conclusion: The binoculars themselves are really great.

A monocular telescope is supplied. The external impression is very good. Everything is cleanly processed and makes a good quality impression. It makes a robust impression, although its own weight is very light. You can use it as a lens for your cell phone, or just as a telescope. both work very well and the objects are enlarged very well. Conclusion: all in all a good price-performance ratio and easy to use. My recommendation has it!
