This tripod is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It's supposed to be used with the scope and for photography, but I started using it for watching videos. It's perfect to put your phone on the tripod and watch videos, it's amazing. You don't have to hold up your phone to watch videos. The scope, on the other hand, didn't really fit onto my iPhone 7 plus. I could still see black around the edges of the camera when taking pictures. The scope did what it was supposed to do: make the stuff appear closer with the same amount of quality. Overall this amazing, but if they made the scope better then it would have been nicer. The price is a little bit too much in my opinion.
