Hello, the workmanship of the monocular makes a very high-quality impression. Even the packaging is of high quality, the mounting for a smartphone is especially interesting. The holder can be flexibly adjusted to the size of a smartphone and is "plugged" onto the lens. In combination with the 3-legged tripod, you can set up the monocular in a suitable place and there is no vibration, for example when holding it in your hand. The 3-legged tripod is screwed to the monocular instead of the carrying cord. The included tripod is quite small, so it fits in any bag. However, you can also use a larger photo tripod that you may have and then adjust the height or direction of the monocular very comfortably. Keep in mind that the image of the smartphone camera is just as round as when you look through the lens with your eye. Tip: You often still have an old smartphone in your drawer. You can also operate the smartphone's camera with a SIM card and then leave it in the holder. This means that the monocular is quickly ready for use in combination with a smartphone camera. All in all, the price-performance ratio is good. The build quality is better than expected. My son uses this equipment to watch animals and has a lot of fun with it. Have fun with it. Ingo K.
