Questions & Answers

Is this a legitimate telescope?

Yes, and the image (from a 6" model telescope) is stunning and razor sharp. I can read digital readouts from a distance of 25 feet that are too blurry for me to read from where I sit. It looks fantastic, smells like freshly oiled leather (despite the fact that it isn't real leather), and I adore it. The power is low (approximately two watts). 50% of full power Longer focal lengths or fringe colors on bright objects are required when using high power scopes. When only a little magnification is required, the low power is a huge plus. Too much magnification has a number of disadvantages, and only gullible customers are impressed by high power figures.

I just got this, and it's perfect for what I'm doing with it. My only concern is how to remove the stench of oil. ?

It didn't smell like oil in mine. however; Unpleasant odors can be removed with cedar wood chips or a cedar block in the closet. Simply place it, along with the cedar, in a small box for a few days.

Is it possible to use this as a spotting scope at a 100-yard gun range? Is it possible that there are others?

NO, only the 18"telescope can be used for distances of 100 yards or more.

How far can you look in the distance?

Hello, Ricardo. I live in Alaska, and I took my scope outside to look up at a mountain about a mile from my home. I would have been able to see deer if they had been present on the mountain. It got pretty close to it. It's a toy, but it has a good range, and I'm looking forward to giving it to my grandsons. I hope this information is useful to you, and I wish you a pleasant day. thanks

He thought this telescope was fantastic when he first saw it
5/5

As if it were a telescope for pirates. One night, while browsing Amazon with my 7-year-old son, he came across this telescope and thought it was fantastic. As if it were a telescope for pirates. I bought it for him after he put it on his Christmas list. He was overjoyed to find it under the Christmas tree. It comes in a small wooden box, which he adores and plays with all of the time. Although the telescope and box are of poor quality, they are ideal for a child. The telescope is easy to pull in and out of the box, and it fits snugly inside. In general, I am pleased with my purchase. What matters is that it made my son happy. I'd tell others about it. br>I try to write reviews that are both entertaining and informative.

A fantastic spyglass toy! This thing is amazing for the price; it's obviously a toy, so don't expect a real telescope out of it, but it's fantastic as a toy spyglass
5/5

A plastic one would cost three times as much at Toys R Us, so a metal one with a solid wooden box for only $6 is a steal. It's absurd to be fifty. My son is enamored with it and has spent the entire day with it. He also enjoys the box and always returns it. br>br>This spyglass isn't pirate-themed, but rather nautical in general. There aren't any sculls to be found. There are no skulls or crossbones on the top of the box, just a nice ship's anchor design. So it doesn't have to be a pirate-themed toy, and the child can play with it however they want. This is the spyglass to get if your child enjoys pretending to be a pirate or a ship captain. This would be a fantastic product if it cost $20 or more, but it only costs $6. It's fantastic to be 50 years old.

Glass was cracked when it arrived, and the seller never responded
3/5

For Christmas, I gave my toddler this miniature telescope as a stocking stuffer. Jake and the Neverland Pirates, treasure hunts, maps, and so on are some of his favorite things, but the glass was cracked when I got it. I emailed the sellers to inform them of the situation, but I never received a response. Even though the glass isn't falling off, it's cracked all the way through the center of the circle, I still gave it to my child to play with. It doesn't seem to bother him all that much. If it weren't for the crack, I would have given it more stars. br>It's also very small, but it fits nicely in toddler hands, and the box that comes with it is nice; it can expand, but it's difficult even for me to do so, and I have to use a lot of force to do so.

The telescope is a cute little thing
4/5

My 3-year-old is obsessed with a "spy glass" at the park where we live. So I promised him that for his third birthday, I'd get him his own spy glass. This was exactly what I needed. It was cheap and small enough that it wouldn't be used against his older brother. I wasn't expecting much for the price, but it's really well made for the price, and my 3-year-old has figured out how to dismantle it. However, putting it back together was relatively simple. I'm not sure how much magnification or range it has. Things are magnified a little about 20 feet out. We weren't too concerned about it because it was a toy. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a toy or prop.

The small price tag (6" model) is well worth it

It is a hit with my son! My son enjoys pretending to be something he is not
5/5

For a toddler his age, he has a lot of imagination, and he makes up elaborate stories for our pretend play sessions. Jake, from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, is a favorite character of his. I came across this while looking for gift ideas for his 3rd birthday on Amazon. With the low retail price, I wasn't expecting much in the way of quality, but I figured it was worth it because the plastic Disney ones were even more expensive and less likely to last as long as metal and leather. I also purchased a toy treasure map, which I was able to fold and place inside the box's lid. It was a close fit, but it worked out. The wooden box is very nice, and the box and telescope are both very well made. The telescope performs as well as any single-lens spyglass, and it has also entertained our older children. It comes highly recommended from me!.

Garbage in a container
3/5

Nothing is magnified by this device. It's as if you're looking through a roll of toilet paper.

For a little more money, you can get a MUCH better scope! NO, this is not a "real" telescope
3/5

br>br> The lenses are not optically coated and are made of glass. Yes, as a 3x mediocre-quality scope, it 'works. ' The box is strange in that once closed, it REFUSES to open without the use of a tool (knife, screwdriver), but it appears to be well constructed with brass hinges. It's just difficult to open!.
