40X Phone telescope is hard to believe! Sample pictures and footage

This is a smartphone compatible monocular telescope that claims to carry 40X optical zoom. Watch the video to find out it that's possible. Sample pictures and footage inside.

[@solotudemusic6337]

Good video, probably the most descriptive and you have far more knowledge of the moving lense part names and what their purposes are for, gave me a good education.. I'm just bleak that you hadn't realised that you should operate these on about 3x or 4x digital zoom as a setting to begin from with the optical zoom and then you would have a full screen image as the circular vision will be zoomed passed digitally as well as the hue/blur around the rim of the lense.. well I just thought that now ( 4:49 ) and maybe you still get to figuring that out.. But anyways, I'm not even halfway through the video and I have paused to subscribe and turn on notifications before I forget and leave this comment.. Good Job Guy.. 🙃

10x magnification means 10 times closer, not 10 times bigger : you see the image as if it was 1/10 the real distance

[@fred.chapman]

Because of the geometry involved (similar triangles), it actually means both: 10 times as close is the same as 10 times as big. Here's my explanation. If you look at a scene with just your eyes, you see everything that fills your field of view. If you walk towards the scene until you are 1/10 of the original distance away, the _angle_ of your field of view is the same. Because of similar triangles, the new scene contains only 1/10 of what you saw in the original scene; however, that 1/10 of the original scene _now fills your field of view,_ which makes _that part_ of the scene look 10 times as large as before. Behold the awesome power of math, my friend! :)

[@kanopus06]

Ok, I'll think a little bit about it before replying :)

[@kanopus06]

Do you have any useful information about this? I've been searching and I have o clear idea about this. But after having used many binoculars, I doubt that objects are 10 times larger. They do get larger with increased magnification but IMO not as much as the magnification of the optical instrument.

[@walkingguy6409]

get a 1-meter stick or a tape measure extended to 1 meter then lean it against the wall walk close until the whole stick is in your view (so you cant see anything above or below.) then get your binoculars and look . at thje stic. if you see 10cm of the stick then your binocular lene is 10x optical zoom. if you see any more then unfortunately it isnt

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

@@kanopus06 10 times larger, closer or taller ( bigger ) or whatever is a strange thing in reality but here's my twist on it. 1 meter x 1 meter is, lets say normal but 3 meters by 3 meters is 9 square meters 3 x 3 = 9 so this is 1 (no zoom) to 9 zoom, only 3 times larger and 3 times wider, it appears only 3 times larger as it's only 3 times taller and three times wider but in reality it is really 9 times larger, well that's from a two dimensional perspective anyway. I had to figure this zoom thing out myself years ago because I felt let down by so called zoom ratings on scopes but It does make sense to me now. Good quality lenses are the first most important thing plus a large objective lens or ( aperture lens ) as they're called make a huge difference. If a scope has these the rest of the build will probably be good but a well made scope with poor quality lenses is mostly useless although good lenses may be install-able. I prefer less zoom with good quality lenses than good zoom with poor quality lenses as I can always increase one way or another on the good. I hope this helps kanopus06, this way of looking at it helped me understand this zoom equation lol.

[@carlsutherland3730]

You should compare it to a rifle spotting scope 60x they look about the same as what you've shown. P.S. I've never thought any scope really equaled what's on the package.

X40 is the size of the end lens - 10 x magnification; lens is 40mm in diameter.

[@TheDonnaTB]

Colin CK now I’m confused as the ad for it says “Magnification: 40x & Caliber: 60mm” ?

[@KandiKlover]

No lens diameter is 40mm not x40.

[@kandakumar4376]

@Jay Bailes worth 13 usd

[@dirtrider88]

if X40 means the lens is 40mm then wtf is the 60? do you not know how binoculars/monoculars/ spotting scopes are measured? the first number is always the magnification and the second is always the objective lens (the larger further away lens) size. the 40 may be the size of the ocular lens (the one you put your eye up to) but they are advertising is as 40x zoom.

[@carlsutherland3730]

You gave the best review yet. Thanks!

[@jackrodgersjr]

There’s a difference in saying binoculars or telescopes are 10 x and saying a camera lens is 10x as this is computed differently. The x in a camera lens refers either to the accepted normal lens focal length versus the lens in question, hence 10x would mean a 500mm telephoto lens. If it is a zoom lens then the x is based on the widest angle 35-350 zoom is a 10 x zoom. 50-500mm is a 10x zoom. Image size is confusing since the size of the image capturer on an iPhone or iPad is about 1/4 of an inch (more or less) but the image on screen can be 9”x12” or so on the iPad. 35mm Macro lenses at 1x would produce a 1 inch image of a 1 inch line. Digital cameras have confused this. Note, a Nikon B500 and especially the P1000 take much better images of moon. Why don’t these lens testers ever photograph bikinis rather than buildings?

At a hundred feet using a 40x you could see a fly scratching it's head but I think for $15 or whatever, it's a good buy as you're not going to get pin sharp images at that price and the more you zoom the poorer the quality !!!!

[@mulder2400]

To remove the Round circle in the black field effect, you must get the Androids Camera closer to the hole in the bracket. This may mean removing that foam layer on the mount. This is definitely not a 40x zoom Monocular, as I've compared it to my expensive Celestron Binocs with 10 X 50 coated optics, and it's a 10 X magnification. Your individual Smart Phone may have another level of Zoom as well. The mini tripods are obviously a joke, as the Phones tip them over, so a low cost tripod on EBay is best option. These are a great entry level Monocular no doubt, but it's not a Nikon P1000.

The lack of sharpness around the edge is because of quality of lens they used. but the small viewing Circle you see when using the phone is because your eye relief is too far back. when using a phone try lowering the eye relief Just until you're able to get the biggest circle possible. Too little, however, and you will start to see a vignette, which is make the circle smaller again
