I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he captured it today. It is as wonderful as I had hoped! Across the street, a family of osprey lives in its neighbor's tree, and a newborn lives every spring. They are so much fun to look at. I bought it for this, moon pics etc and after going back and forth for 2 weeks deciding on which brand I'm so thankful I went with this particular one. I've never bought one before, did a lot of research and took that leap of faith. (I'm really looking forward to borrowing it from him ;).

This little margin is better than what I expected. It's a little quirky, having to pull to extend and rotate the eyepiece to extend fully, but once it's all set to go it offers great magnification and sharp clear images with less chromatic aberration than some more expensive areas. I like a large eyepiece lens and smooth focusing action. With a mobile phone adapter I got some nice pictures of the moon. At 30X I recommend a tripod (and this scope has a mounting thread!)

I am impressed by the quality of the monocular binoculars. It lies well in the hand, the dial is smooth-running and can be operated with one hand. I would actually give 5 stars for that.
In my opinion, the included mobile phone clip is useless. The clip itself is very strong and once you attach it, it sits securely on the phone. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the rest. In order to place the monocular reasonably securely on the device, you have to hold both devices and then have no free hand for image settings and shutter release. With a tripod - a corresponding thread is available - I have not tried it. That might free up a hand. However, the basic problem lies in the fixed distance between the photo lens of the smartphone and the monocular. Maybe it's me, but I only get blurry images in circular shape with it.

I bought this product for hiking in the Pacific Northwest and it's perfect for my needs. It's VERY light and the picture is great. So much better than you would think it would be for the price! Image #1 is of my friends using my cell phone camera (these are the dots on the rock at the water's edge) and image #2 is through the monocular. Also - my phone camera is TERRIBLE so the picture was actually much clearer to the eye than what you see here. It was also very easy to focus. I love this product!

I bought the monocular for archery because my old one couldn't be operated with one hand and I also wanted one with a slightly higher magnification and larger lenses for a brighter image even in the twilight.
Given the price, and there are even cheaper ones in this class that are apparently almost identical in construction (but I didn't like the look of this one as much as this one), I was a bit skeptical, but I wasn't disappointed!
The glass far exceeds my expectations. The processing is very clean and the focusing is sufficiently smooth.
The image is sharp and in fact as bright even in low light as I otherwise only know from glasses from the 400 EUR price range!
It also feels very sturdy without being heavy or bulky.
I have to mention the following disadvantages:
- The wrist strap is a bit small for large hands and the strap is a bit thin (10 mm wide, although eyelets for 12mm are available), which I have replaced accordingly.
- It has a slight edge blur and makes slight rainbow fringes at long distances. But both are minimal and I only noticed it after a few days.
I still give all stars because you have to consider the extremely low price.
Clear purchase recommendation! Perfect for archers!

We bought their binoculars and were blown away by the quality and price!
Purchasing their monocular was a safe bet for us.
The monocular is of absolute quality. The high-quality materials and workmanship make it clear that they are of the highest quality. As they compete with the other high end monocular brands, these are truly remarkable as they are a fraction of the cost. Hold the monocular in your hand very comfortably and the adjustable wrist strap secures it extremely well.
Customer service is outstanding. As with the purchase of binoculars, the company and representatives are quick to contact and ensure that
you are satisfied with your purchase. While I haven't had any problems and don't expect any problems...it's very obvious that they are there to please their customers and support their producers.
Really a great and cheap buy!

There are cheaper and more expensive monoculars. Since I only want to use the monocular every now and then, I didn't want to spend too much money. So I first ordered one with comparable features to this one, but about 20 euros cheaper - and immediately sent it back because of the extremely toxic smelling plastic housing. Then I looked around again and came across this monocular from K&F, which at around A$73 was significantly more expensive than the first one, but still cheap compared to other devices. And this time I was not disappointed. Not only does the materiel not emit any odor - it also looks much higher quality overall. Image & magnification are completely fine for me. And the mobile phone holder is also really practical:
I removed the wrist strap again because the monocular doesn't fit properly in the bag that came with it. That's a shame, just a few millimeters more air would have been enough.
It is just as unfortunate that the cover of the outer part, in the lower part of the lens, is not connected to the housing and therefore always has to be stowed away in some jacket or trouser pocket when in use.
Conclusion: The price/performance ratio fits, purchase recommendation!

I bought this monocular because the digital zoom on my cell phone is not enough for me to take nice photos of animals. Since I'm using an iPhone 11, I haven't found many that have phone holders that are compatible. Here, however, the phone fits perfectly in the holder and I can take SUPER sharp photos from a distance. The mobile phone has a firm seat in the holder, so you don't have to be afraid that something will fall off or be blurred when taking pictures.
In general, the monocular makes a haptic and visual impression of high quality and I was really pleasantly surprised at the price!

K&F Concept has a very bright and crisp quality! It's easy to adjust the focus and fairly light. It comes with lens caps and case. I would like to see a tripod capable of taking a photo on a camera phone added to the kit. Great monocular for the price!

The monocular itself makes a very good impression, the workmanship is impeccable and the part looks super robust!
The resolution and sharpness are excellent and it is also great to use for people who wear glasses.
The monocular can be attached to a tripod (not included in the scope of delivery) via a thread on the underside. This is a standardized mount to which you can basically attach any tripod. In addition, the monocular is waterproof and with approx. 325gr. also quite easy.
Unfortunately, the smartphone holder isn't much good. On the one hand, it is simply attached and can therefore fall off again very easily, which definitely happens. On the other hand, aligning the phone lens is very fiddly and you have to hold the smartphone permanently, otherwise it usually tilts slightly and the image section no longer fits.
It also bothers me that the smartphone holder does not fit in the small bag that is included in the scope of delivery, so you always have to carry it with you separately.
Conclusion: Really good and robust monocular, with fantastic resolution and super sharp image. The smartphone holder, on the other hand, is unfortunately super cheap and poorly implemented.
