Unbeatable performance for the price

While I'm no pro when it comes to optics (and I can't compare with any other spotting scope), I can still very much know if a product is good or not by testing it different ways, and I must say that this product is very good, not to mention its excellent price point.
I did "test it" by looking at different objets, both close and far, during both day and night, and could always see very well. I could read the detail of a serial number plate riveted into the inside of street lamp, or read details on the parking access card hanging on the mirror of a car in my parking lot at night (some local light helped of course, as it's not a night vision device).
I could also see several of Jupiters satellite planets, very impressive. Lastly, I also did check at the windows of a very high restaurant (located on top of a 20 story building) 5 km away, and could see people sitting by the windows, able to tell if they were men or woman... That too was impressive,
Of course, optics can be critical in some applications, but for casual everyday life and general purpose, this scope is absolutely amazing. If not satisfied, you can always return it. But I bet you wont. : )
Note that for maximum zoom usage, a tripod would be required, which I own and used with the spotting scope, as it will otherwise be a bit too shaky and details will be lost in blurry.
