Telescope AND microscope in one! . This pocket scope is a cool little item. It looke like a pen and has a pocket clip, but you can open it to a 8x telescope. AND a precision 30x microscope. Works great for undercover spy games, camping, at the game, or in the yard. But wait, it is also a 30x microscope. Look up close at bugs, secret messages, paper money, or fingerprints. And it is unbelievably cheap in price.
It is durable and made of metal, not some cheap plastic like most you see now days. Would also make a great spy toy or a good gift for a scout.

Pocket Scope (GeoVision Precision Optics) Reviews
Amazing especially for the price! . We bought this toy for my cousin, who is six, for Christmas. I wasn't sure how it would work, so I snuck it out of the package to check that it worked and didn't need batteries. It works amazingly well, especially considering the low price! It has a slide-out, adjustable piece that elongates the scope and also adjusts for clarity. I could clearly see the weave in my pants, then turned it around to clearly see my husband's ear from across the house! This is a great gift for any budding scientists! I teach preschool and would even recommend it for the 4-5 yr old crowd.

Pocket Scope (GeoVision Precision Optics) Opinions
fun but not very strong . The product is a pen shaped "microscope". When you look in one end, it magnifies 8 times, when you look from the other, 30 times. The enhancement is enough for the 4-10 year old to see details and great fun as an introduction to the world of miniature, but not enough for the more demanding viewer, for instance the toy does not have a build-in lightsource, and 30 times enhancement is not enough to really get "in there". It is plenty for viewing leaves, textile fabrics, insect wings, money bills et cet.
I bought it for my 7 yr old, and for the small prize, this is overall a great toy.

A well made pocket scope! . I believe the GeoVision pocket scope is of above average quality and durability for its price. I would recommend it for outdoor use only, however, as the microscope requires a lot of light. The telescope offers a decent view, although, I do have a minor complaint of it. It slides open rather than twisting, which is fine, other than it makes focusing a tad bit more difficult than it could be. To see distant objects clearly, you must extend the scope until it is about 1/4th of an inch from being fully extended. My only real complaint is that the clip on this pocket scope seems to be for decorative purposes only. When I tried to remove the scope from my shirt pocket, the metal clip popped off. It should be an easy fix with a small pair of pliers.
Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. It'd be a great gift for outdoor and spy enthusiasts.

Sure to delight a kid.... . All three of my kids love this - 11, 9, and 6. They love the fact they can use it to magnify things in front of them, or can flip it and see things from a distance. They like how compact and light it is, and I think it reminds them a bit of Jack Sparrow's scope in Pirates.
My own thoughts are that the magnifying capabilities are pretty good close up - you can see nice detail on a bug, for example, but it is very difficult to see things in the distance clearly. Also, it would be nice if you could twist the scope closed rather than just push it in - it will just slide right open again if you hold the scope upside down. Finally, I think for kids a thick cord to wear around the neck rather than a pen clip would be more useful.
However, my daughter really treasures this little scope and it was well worth the ten dollars or so I spent on it...

Totally useless . I bought this for a gift for my grandson. I opened it up and tried it before giving it to him. Even though it was very blurry when I looked thru it I hoped it would work for his young eyes. It's a fun idea but doesn't work. He likes to carry it around in his pocket so I guess it's durable. He keeps it in hopes of finding a bug to look at.
Poor quality. . These scopes are poorly made. Viewability through them is minimal and one of the two we purchased fell apart immediately after being opened.
Great "spotting scope" for little boy . All the scopes for kids I saw were not true magnifying outdoor scopes, but cheap plastic toys. My 4 year old loves Diego and wanted to be able to watch for animals (we have birds and bunnies) in our big yard. This fit the bill and stores easily in his pocket. It has been dropped a few times and holds up well.
Not a good toy. . I had a similar one when I was a kid. I was very surprise to see the price.
I realized that there is no cheap and good quality stuff as soon as I received it.
