ARPBEST 30X55 High Definition Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder & Tripod – FMC Lens & BAK4 Prism – Monocular Telescope HD with Zoom Focus for Wildlife Bird Watching Hiking Camping
Safety Information:
- Never look directly into any light source or sunlight as to do so could permanently damage your eyesight.
- DO NOT disassemble the device.
- DO NOT expose the device to high temperatures.
Tips :
- Check out the set-up guide video on our ARPBEST store and follow the steps provided.
- Bring viewed objects closer using the zoom focus magnification (adjustable 10-30X focus) and slowly twist the finger-type focus, until you have a clear image. Use both focus adjustments until the image is clear.
- If you do not have a clear and full circular image, you need to check again and align the smartphone holder in the correct position with slow movement.
- When you connect the monocular with the phone holder, make sure that the twist eyecup is closed before adding the phone mount. That will ensure the correct fitting and functionality of them when used together.
- The smartphone holder works very easy with smartphones that have multiple cameras. Align the hole phone holder to the camera that you intend to use. Then check if you have a clear image before fitting the phone holder and smartphone to the monocular telescope. Zoom in with your smartphone until you get a full image view on your screen.
- Always put on the lens caps when your monocular is not in use.
- Where possible, hold your monocular with our strap so you will not accidentally drop it. A neck strap or lanyard is useful if you need to use both hands much of the time but want to reach your monocular quickly.
- Never rinse your monocular under running water to clean it. Do not rinse or immerse your monocular even if it is waterproof.
- Do not clean the lens with your fingernail. When you are out in the field, it can be tempting to scratch dirt off the lens, but this could permanently damage your monocular.
- Clean lenses with cotton pads or a soft cloth (included in the monocular kit) and do not use paper towels, as the texture could scratch the lens coating.

This is my second arpbest monocular ive gone for the 30×55 this time what can i say these monoculars are outstanding the customer service is second to none i would highly recommend arpest well done paul and the team for the quality
Bought two of these as we wanted longer range viewing than our current monoculars. . They come with a set of accessories which complement the overall package. We have also taken shots through them with our phones and whilst initially a little fiddly to line up, we are very pleased with the results.
Bought this Monocular Telescope for myself to use when I’m out and about with my son. By no means am I an expert on Monocular Telescopes but this was very impressive, if a tad bit costly. Sharp images, good focus. nice tripod stand and smartphone holder. My son has a different brand, which did cost less, however there is a noticeable difference.
As I say I’m no expert, but I think these are pretty good.
Just received this about 30 mins ago. Straight outside to try it. Crystal clear. Unlike some units I have tried at full mag it is super clear. This is like looking through an expensive scope.
The phone mount works and is steady. Not sure how much I will use it but took a picture from my window over the field. For a second I thought someone was walking along the pavement in front of me but it was someone at that full max distance it was that clear. Tripod is steady and looks as though it will do. Quite small but you can always use a full size. Comes in a decent shoulder bag. Flip down front lens cover so you done loose it. Rear site eye piece is also adjustable so if you wear glasses it should still be ok.
Finally a small wrist strap that goes on the screw that you remove to attach the tripod.
Can’t wait to get out into the woods tomorrow with it.
This is a well priced telescope which is perfect for viewing wildlife on land and sea day or in the evening.very pleased with my purchase
Item arrived 1 day earlier than expected.. was nice surprise to begin with.
Item was well packed and arrived in immaculate condition.
Item was as described, even better than what was described by the seller & was easy to assemble..
Exactly matches the product description !!
Nothing much else to say besides;
I’m absolutely Delighted with My Purchase
Could use with my full size tripod this makes it very useful, useful phone holder for photos however a little difficult with multiple lens phones to line up and keep there as bracket maybe a little flimsy, but adequate overall Very good quality. Satisfied with product overall
I love everything about this product. It is well made, easy to use and produces great results
It is a lovely piece of kit, with a clear zoom view & easy to hold. A bit bulky for phone use for some & a bit fiddly to connect to phone & keeps moving around . The pictures you can take come out lovely & clear though .
This ARPBEST 30×55 High Definition Mono is more sharper and further than the others what about in the past, bit more money than I usually spend But I’m happy with tha
Fantastic monocular, I actually returned it thought as I wanted to use it for fast jet photography. Just don’t feel it was up to that level, that being said, when I used it with the tripod, didn’t move my phone I got fantastic shots of distant wildlife
The lens is crystal clear with a great optical lens along with a zoom
My Wife and I have been looking for Binoculars (to use at the local nature reserve) but the monocular, I found, was much easier to use. It comes with a useful tripod and case for carrying around. Its excellent quality and feels ‘solid’ without being heavy. Thoroughly recommend i
i havn’t used it at night yet, day use have proved very good so fa
Very pleased with this monocular nice and clear view I haven’t used phone holder to take pictures as my phone is the iPhone mini SE to small for holder but overall easy to hold and quality.
Bought it as a Birthday present for my son’s 11th. He loves using it, that’s all I need to know.
I have previously bought an ARPBEST monocular, and because I was impressed with their previous models, I have decided to buy another one, this time was for my brother in law who is an experienced birder, as a birthday gift. I can say that I was impressed with his new 30X monocular, the tripod is bigger, it has an adjustable phone holder, and the shoulder bag is handy because you can fit the monocular with all the accessories inside. He told me that is the perfect size for him, large glass lenses, clear image with no perceptible distortion or chromatic aberration, lightweight, easy to hold with one hand, and he confirmed that this is the best birthday gift ever. Well done, ARPBEST, for making people happy with great quality products.
What a great monocular, very easy to use, good distance viewing and a good size without being too bulky, love it!
I want to say without any doubt that this is the best purchase I have made in the last 10 years regarding monoculars.
This 30×50 monocular telescope is comparable to more expensive brands I have owned over the years. Last year we have purchased three different brands at the time, and the ARPBEST was substantially the better quality monocular, so I decided to keep it. This year it took me less that 5 minutes to choose a monocular for my grandfather birthday gift after seeing this new 30X zoom monocular. Of course, ARPBEST didn’t disappoint we found the same quality materials, crystal clear glass lenses, quality rubber material non-smell, brilliant tripod, perfect fit for any smartphone no matter the size, quality phone holder and the carrying bag. It also has a tripod ball head mount compatible with cameras, DSLRs, monopods, other tripods, and selfie sticks. The tripod is handy when using the zoom feature. If you don’t have a firm position, then here is when the tripod comes into play. The tripod is of good quality, and I don’t think that is necessary for an upgrade. The focus adjustment knob is precise, and a precision knob will make finding the spot quick and precise. The phone holder is handy for taking pictures. I believe that it’s a good idea, but I don’t think that it would be used too much. The carrying case is of good quality, and I find it very useful and practical. The whole monocular kit seems and looks more expensive than what the price leads you to believe. Well done, ARPBEST brand!
My father owns a 250 Bushnell monocular, and this monocular telescope feels as good as the aforementioned but at a quarter of the price. The clarity at 10X to 30X is astonishing. I can count blades of the grass at 200 yards. I’m completely blown away by the fact that you can get a sturdy, near-perfect monocular for under 100 these days with all those accessories included ( shoulder bag, large tripod and a premium phone holder ). Simply amazing. There is no chance that these will disappoint. Fantastic after-sales advice with lots of tips on how to use the monocular.
After looking and testing a few, monoculars I have decided that this is the monocular I want to keep.
I have a few reasons why:
– One of the most powerful monoculars on the market with up to 30X zoom feature.
– Excellent tripod, no shaking, very stable.
– Premium adjustable phone holder with rubber inside for monocular eyecup protection. I was also able to attach the phone holder to my older binoculars.
– Quality shoulder bag. You can fit not only the monocular but all the other accessories.
– Large glass lenses which offer a better field of view.
– For this price point, I feel it has a good build quality, and it feels like it will last forever.
– Tripod ball head, hand strap and cleaning cloth included.
– The monocular kit arrived in a lovely box, very well packaged, and good instructions inside followed by additional tips from seller.
Overall, I think that it was by far the best decision to keep the ARPBEST monocular telescope from all I have tested, and I recommend these monoculars to any outdoor explorer. As I have seen they have monoculars for any budget with 3 or 4 models on Amazon.
I usually don’t give any feedback, but I have made an exception now because I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS LOCAL BRAND ARPBEST DESERVE IT. Iwas looking for a couple of weeks now on Amazon, and I was between their 12×50 monocular telescope and the other model 25×50 monocular with zoom feature. Then I saw their new monocular with 30X zoom feature, slightly bigger size and front lens, extendable tripod legs and a carry bag to fit the starscope monocular and all other accessories too. The order arrived quickly, well packaged, with good instructions inside the box, and a follow up from seller with helpful tips and instructions to follow. I’m so glad that I found this monocular as I feel that I have ticked all the boxes from my perspective. I highly recommend this monocular kit to everyone who wants to go the extra mile and get a premium monocular telescope as this is a bargain in my opinion. Well done ARPBEST for creating such good quality monoculars for any pockets without compromising the quality!
I bought this monocular to check out birds near my house, in the woods, and they work perfectly. The monocular telescope is as advertised and come with an excellent shoulder bag, large lenses that offer a perfect field of view, 30x zoom feature and a nice tripod that offers a good stability without shaking. It also has an adjustable phone holder with rubber inside to protect the eyepiece of the monocular. I have noticed that ARPBEST is a local business, and they have a couple of monoculars already on the market with very good feedbacks and this was another reason I was convinced to buy from them.
I can say with no doubt that ARPBEST monoculars are my preferred option when I’m looking after a present for my family or friends. That is the 3rd monocular telescope I have purchased from them in around one year period, and each time I was impressed and glad at the same time to see that a local business can create such a brilliant monoculars. I have purchased this monocular kit for my father’s birthday, who I’m sure that will be so pleased about this.
The monocular is very easy to handle with one hand and offers a good grip. I can confirm that this is a 30X 30X zoom monocular as I have compared it with the other 25X ARPBEST monocular telescope, quality glass lenses with crystal clear view, easy to adjust the magnification and zoom with one hand. Good size tripod with 5X extension legs, perfect for this monocular size and weight, adjustable phone mount and shoulder carry bag. Overall, this monocular kit is solid build equipment, and I feel that it will last forever. Mark my word : these monoculars are just right!!!
