Your cart is empty. Celestron’s LandScout spotting scope is a customer favorite, known for its versatility and ease of use. For the first time, this beloved spotting scope is now available in a bundle with the Celestron Smartphone Adapter and a tabletop tripod—the perfect beginner’s digiscoping kit. This bundle is compact and lightweight, ideal for carrying along on a backpacking trip, a casual hike, or a birding expedition. You’ll be able to quickly set up this spotting scope and attach the smartphone adapter to capture stunning images and video of your subject.
Digiscoping is Easy with the Celestron Smartphone Adapter
Share your greatest discoveries with friends and family by pairing the LandScout spotting scope with the included smartphone adapter. This accessory connects any smartphone to the LandScout eyepiece (or any other eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller, such as a binocular or telescope eyepiece).
The eyepiece’s magnification bumps up the image scale, so you can capture stunning images of wildlife, distant objects, and even the Moon at night! This light, rigid smartphone adapter installs in seconds by clamping over the top of the eyepiece. Tightening knobs securely lock your phone in place. Note that some large and/or excessively bulky phone cases (including folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.
Our Tried-and-True Spotting Scope
The LandScout 80mm spotting scope features a 45° viewing angle, excellent fully multi-coated optics, and a versatile 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The 45° viewing angle provides comfort for extended periods of observing. The LandScout fully coated optics increase LandScout’s light transmission for brighter, sharper images. Finally, the adjustable zoom allows you choose from a wide field of view for general viewing or high power for detailed, up-close viewing. The LandScout 20-60x80mm is perfect for those times you don’t want to carry a larger, heavier scope on your expeditions. Its rugged and portable design makes it easy to transport anywhere.
Perfect for a Variety of Uses
LandScout comes with a 20-60x zoom eyepiece. Use the lower magnifications to scan the landscape, then quickly punch in for up-close views of small subjects when needed. The large, ergonomic focus knob ensures your object is always in clear view. Both the zoom and focus knobs come with a rubber grip for easy adjustments while wearing gloves. LandScout was designed to perform well in a range of viewing situations, making it a great all-around optical instrument.
Ways to Observe
LandScout features a rugged, durable construction to stand up to minor bumps and jolts. The scope is also water resistant, so you can use it confidently in damp or humid conditions. For more comfortable long-duration or long-distance viewing sessions, you can mount the LandScout to the tabletop tripod. The tripod mount rotates, making it easy to find your most comfortable viewing angle.

Couldn't see hits on paper at 100 yards. I have $20 binoculars that work better.

I didn’t open it for a while after buying but should have. I opened the package and found the inner package was open and the scope was bent and broken

Provides greatly magnified views with stability on the tripod. Easy to set up and use. The phone adapter is not that user-friendly, but I am sure I will still sort it out. The tripod itself makes it worth the purchase. Been using it to watch for game from the veranda, and works very well.

The only directions that come with this POS is how to mount a cell phone in the stupid holder, like we can't figure that out or like I'll be using that gimmick. There's no instructions for anything else, how to put it together, how to adjust it, no specs, NOTHING. This disrespectfulness to the buyer & for me, by itself, is plenty reason to leave a bad review. But then there is more that is a slap in the face: THERE IS NO dust cap for the viewing end. it's all plastic

This did bring you in very close.Sadly, what this spotting scope did for me was justify Luepold for charging $530 for theirs: beautiful view through that one.The issue I had with this Celestron was that the eye relief was so finicky: it was trying to look through a straw.It you have glasses, or for some reason can't put your eye ball just about on the eyepiece lens...not going to work well for you.I couldn't get the phone lens lined up with the bracket; my mast hope was to get the phone on it and look through the phone screen. But, too many moving parts, I got a "glimpse" of almost getting it to work.

I should have believed earlier reviews which indicated zoom range of the Celestron LandScout 20-60 is just slightly more than 2 to 1 rather than the advertised 3 to 1. Which means the actual range is 20x to 42x, and NOT 20x to 60x. And I should have believed that anything beyond 30x is pretty useless, as it simply enlarges the blur. The focus ring requires so much effort to move that it's difficult to achieve fine-focus. And it's almost impossible to focus without shaking the scope.As if that were not enough, the eye relief is short and narrow, making it difficult to keep your eye in the sweet spot to see the full image. Which makes it extremely difficult to use the Digiscoping attachment. With my iPhone, I got only a small circular image in the center of the frame. With my Android, I got a bigger image that still did not fill the frame, but on which I never achieved focus. I would classify the Digiscoping adapter as a joke.That said, the Celestron Landscout 20-60 arrived quickly, and in excellent condition. Item was double-boxed, with the scope inside its carrying case, and the eyepiece inside its own protective plastic case. Scope was triple-protected from moisture during shipment. I had no complaints with quality of build of the scope. The tabletop tripod is fine for this scope.Bottom line:Image at 20x seems fine, if you can keep your eye in the sweet spot.All-in-all, I am very disappointed. Fortunately, Amazon makes returning easy.

Not to brag, but we buy these to whale watch from our lanai in Hawaii and to watch other ocean activities. We had a 60mm objective lens and it worked well, but in lower light levels (sunset or dawn) it did not gather enough light. Doing the math, an 80mm has roughly twice the light gathering area than the 60mm. That sure shows up in the view. The optics are clean and the adjustments and focus work well. There are two features we really like. The first is it comes with a cell phone mounting device so you can take photos and video if you wish. The second is the ability to rotate the tube. Our other lacked this and when both my wife and I were watching we had to choose between me stooping over or her standing on her tip toes. This one allows us to rotate the tube and stay on the object being watched.

I rarely review, but this scope deserves one. This spotting scope is exactly what I expected - well, maybe a little more because it did NOT meet any expectations of frustration! It was easy to setup, and even easier to begin using - without reading any instructions (although I did later just to see if I got it right).The two photos I added were taken within a few minutes of opening the box - and I've never used a scope before, well, not since I was a kid with some pirate toy or something. And maybe I've looked through a rifle scope many years ago. Yes, those photos could be better, but the moon shot was during the late afternoon. In the tree, I know there is a bird's nest just to the right of center, and while viewing, I could see the mama moving around. Again, these were just to prove how quickly I was able to start having fun.
