Ads were misleading The ads for this product make it seem way easier to use than it really is . It does seem to be fairly well built but the tiny tripod /handle makes it so hard to look through as you would have to be sitting at a table or other surface to use. Without stabilizing it on something I could never get a clear view far away for more than a couple seconds. Still haven’t been able to take clear pics using the smartphone adapter. I would never have purchased it had I known all this beforehand, sorry.

Sorry Sorry, but I'm unable to focus this thing at any range. Possibly damaged during transport though there's no visual signs of damage to either container or device.

Online form was difficult to use - and OVERCHARGED Me Online form was difficult to use. Worse than that, Python charged me 6 times for 1 Monocular Telescope; refunded 1 charge only. Did not respond to my request for refunds for excess payments. Will never purchase their products again. Also, the reply I received from Python to this review was non-responsive, stating that I did not order 6 items. I never claimed to have placed 6 orders, however I was charged 6 times.

My Python HD arrived this week and I'm… My Python HD arrived this week and I'm in awe. Ever since me and my wife began hiking, we were mesmerized by the beauty of nature and only began to really appreciate it in the last couple of years. Whenever we tried to share photos with our family, they just didn't quite capture it. Of course this telescope won't have its own section at Griffith Observatory, but for this price we couldn't ask for more. It delivers through and through and I take it with me on every trip to nature! Customer service has been very pleasant as well.

Great Value I purchased the Python optics 12 X 45 HD monocular and 12 x 16 microfiber cloth. Both were worth every penny. The binocular has a tripod carrying case and cell phone adapter for taking pictures. It’s easy to use and produces clear and sharp pictures. Microfiber cloth comes in very handy with cleaning all sorts of screens. My nine year old son loves it and I’m buying one for his cousin soon.
