Nice to handle
First, the review headline. That photo of the bird implies a) that the lens forms a full-sensor image, second that you can hand-hold it, and third that the contrast and clarity are spectacular. None of these “facts” are true.I hoped this would be good for my wife to take pictures of birds and other wildlife on our feeders, but there are several problems: first, the image on the phone camera is small—a circle around 1/3 the screen width. Second, it is almost impossible to focus accurately. Third, the adapter doesn’t work at all with an iPhone 6S+ unless you take it out of the case. Finally, the monocular is huge—not even good as a pocketable monocular. I wasn’t surprised that the clarity and contrast were not so good—it’s an $80 piece of gear.Also, it is not possible to handhold, which a few reviews mentioned. I really expected in full sunlight the phone camera would be fast enough that every third image would be crisp, but you clearly need a tripod. Given all this, it is cheaper and easier to leave a small camera in the living room ... especially since we already have one.
