For reference, I own the 20-60x60 Gosky scope from several years ago that is going for about $100 now. I used the old scope to compare against this new and improved scope. I think Gosky is a great optics company for someone on a budget like myself. I actually own a pair of the binoculars for my wife that exceeded my expectations for the money. I compared them to my Bushnell’s, and they kept up in every category.
Pros:
More clarity from close and long range. The new scope was much clearer from the 400-yard test I did. The image was also a little brighter as well.
The focus dial has been improved which is actually really nice. If you look at the photos Gosky posted there are 2 sections on the focus wheel. One for getting close to focused and one for getting what I call detail focused. It’s actually a really cool feature. You can use one dial for dramatic focus assuming you are way out of focus then use the detail focus wheel to get a really clear view without shaking the scope because the wheel spins so smoothly.
The eyepiece has been enlarged. At first, I was unsure that I like this but during testing it turned out to be one of the key advantages over the older scope. I use mine for hunting and shooting at the range, the wider eyepiece allows for less strain on the eye assuming you will be glassing for long periods at a time. It was also easier to look through, you did not have to take a lot of time to align your eye with the object being scoped. This was a huge improvement. The eye piece twists out to extend like the old one which is a great feature.
The zoom knob works smoothly as it should.
The lateral side to side scope adjustment also works well and rotates very smoothly.
The new smartphone attachment is really nice and a huge upgrade from their last version.
I don’t use the retractable sunshade/rain guard all that much, but it is a nice feature to have just in case.
The carrying case was beefed up and you can actually leave it on while glassing as there is a zipper on the bottom that would open up to allow attachment to a tripod mount.
The new scope outperformed the older one in every way other than a couple of key cons.
Cons:
The weight: this new scope was a lot heavier than the older one. I weighed the old one at 2 pounds 8 ounces. The new scope is 3 pounds 13 ounces. For someone that backpack with their scope this is a big difference.
The lens cover: The new lens cover seems nice at first, but this needs to be improved. It stays on the scope great, the hard part is getting it off the scope. It is almost suctioned to the scope. I actually tied a little paracord loop on the lens cover where they left a hole on the lens cover and it pulls off a little easier now. They also did not include a leash like they do with the older ones.
Overall the new scope is a huge improvement and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for something tough and reliable at this price point.

I'm an avid bird watcher that needed a quality spotting scope that could help to see further than with my binoculars and to use for bird photography. This Gosky dual focusing spotting scope definitely helps identify birds that are at a great distance away and takes excellent quality photos. I used a Motorola Moto Z4 with an Otterbox case for the photos and the smartphone adapter that came with this scope adjusts easily to fit a larger phone.
Excellent Quality Spotting Scope! Worth Every Penny!

The materials that were used in this Gosky spotting scope feel like high quality materials and seems to be a solid build. The dual focusing knob and zoom ring are very fluid and turn with ease. The dual focusing knob is a nice feature because it really helps to create quality photos and see great detail on the object you are viewing from a great distance. When purchasing a tripod, I would definitely recommend to get a heavy duty tripod with a fluid head because this scope isn't compact. Also if your phone does not have a phone with voice command to take pictures, buy yourself a bluetooth remote so you don't have to tap your phone when taking photographs and distort the image. Overall I was really impressed with the quality of the photographs taken with this Gosky spotting scope and how well built it is. This scope will allow you to identify birds or any type of wildlife without spooking the animals by getting really close. If this review helped in your decision, please mark helpful.

This 20X60X80MM spotting scope is incredible. Highly recommend for the avid hunter or shooting enthusiast. Here are my pros; 1. Great handling scope. I never felt like it would slip from my hands. 2. The glass on this thing is crystal clear. No excuses on missing wildlife on the next ridge over. 3. Very simple to use out of the box. 4. The remote shutter device is an added bonus in my opinion. I synced it to my iPhone in seconds and was able to take pictures without touching the tripod or spotting scope. 5. The lifetime warranty is awesome because I will be putting this thing to the test. 6. Waterproof!!! Can it get any better? Here are my cons. 1. Take a look at my photos and you will see that the mounting of the scope to the tripod is 90degrees off in my opinion. It doesn’t hurt the performance in anyway but in order for the vertical up and down to work correctly you have to mount the scope 90 degrees opposite of the mount. 2. The eye piece protective cap needs some sort of restraint to keep it intact to the scope. I will loose it for sure. 3. There are 2 extra caps and I have no idea what they are for.
In my personal outdoors opinion, I would recommend this product 100%.

Ich habe mich nach langer, umfangreicher Suche und Recherche hier für dieses Spektiv in der Größe 20-60x80 als etwas kostenintensiveres Modell entschieden und wurde bisher nicht enttäuscht. Nur hinsichtlich des beiligenden Halters für Samrtphone habe ich mich andersweitig orientiert und bei einem Mitbewerber zugekauft. Zu beachten ist jeweils, dass die Verwendung einer Smartphonekamera für Aufnahmen nach meiner Erfahrung nur dann gegeben ist, wenn dies mit nur 1 Kamera ausgestattet ist. Neue Modelle haben jedoch oftmals mehrere Kameras. Bei allen, das Spektiv betreffende Fragen, ist eine super Kommunikation mit Amazon und dem Hersteller möglich gewesen. Auch das war für mich eine klare Kaufentscheidung. Bei der Verwendung des Spektivs ist ein stabiles Stativ generell und im Zoombereich zu empfehlen.Munan_deabsolut positiv
