I got this for my new house that has a nice water view. When I take it on the deck it is so awesome! A couple minor things: its well built but it can feel a bit wobbly but not enough to make it an issue. Also sometimes the stopper for vertical motion doesnt lock exactly where you have the scope so sometimes u have to go a bit higher. other than than its beautiful! man its nice and the clarity is pretty darn good, better than my binocs. Its a fun piece to have I dont regret it at all! great price too! I feel like a rich guy now :)
