Great Spotting Scope for the Money!
2009-07-08I've been shooting for over 20 years and have had many spotting scopes. This one is among the best bang for the buck. The optics are clear and it is very durable.
The only that would make it better is a ranging reticle of some type.
Excellent Scope
2009-06-23This is an unbelievable value. This scope is in the same league as the Kowa 821 series scopes for 1/5th the price. I am very pleased with the scope. The only drawbacks are the tripod and case, you will have to get a much better tripod and a case to carry the scope in.
Konus 7120 20X60X80mm
2009-02-17The scope works great - but the tripod is useless. Plan on replacing the tripod immediately. However, as I said before - the scope is great!
Konus 7120 20x-60x80mm Spotting Scope with Tripod And Case
2009-02-06The Konus 7120 20x-60x80mm Spotting Scope: Great clean crisp view at all the power setting.
Tripod: good tripod for spotting and window attachment works great.
Case: wouldn't want to drop the case and scope. Not a lot of padding and would not trust it to protect the scope. All in all the best product for the price range
Good Optics Poor Bipod
2008-07-13I just purchased this spotting scope based on other reviews. I like the optics of the product but the tripod is next to worthless. The unit rocks in the tripod scope cradle and does not seat well. I will be looking to replace the tripod so factor this into the cost of the unit.
As I said the optics are very good. I have worked with the unit up to full magnification with no distortion across the glass.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them.
All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image.
Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc.
There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder.
Technology
It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
