I managed to snag this for $72AUD. I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. I got this as a cheap spotting scope for target archery.
The scope itself is quite light considering the size of it. It's over 30cm long. Testing it on various buildings and birds around me, the detail is good. The image is clear enough and I had no problems focusing at all magnifications. But it was a sunny day. I'm not sure why, but I imagined the area of the image would be larger. My main complaint is that the thread for the tripod mount had melted plastic in it. I had to dig it out. But $72AUD.
The included tripod is not that bad for what it is. It's cheap, but sturdy metal. For a small tripod, it's ok. Not sure what I'd use it for.
The phone mount is really really really bad. There's so much play in the parts that when you tighten the screws, the parts settle in a different position ruining all the work you did to centre the image. Trying to coordinate the parts is also incredibly difficult. Don't bother with it. I might keep the parts and design my own mount. Otherwise just throw it away.
For the price, if you have casual use cases and need decent magnification, get it.
