This was a gift for my 10.5 yr old daughter. She absolutely loves it. She loves taking it on our outdoor adventures. Lots of functions as well.

Ich habe nicht allzu viel erwartet von dem Gerät, aber es ist fantastisch - für den Preis. Das Fernglas is so lala, aber man hat ein echtes Lupenmikroskop mit sehr sehr guten Bildern und toller Ausleuchtung. Man kann das Ding sogar als Not-Taschenlampe verwenden. Den Kompass kann man vergessen und die Uhr ist unnötig, aber wer braucht das schon. Ich wollte es eigentlich dem Sohn meiner Cousine schenken, aber ich behalte es und schaue mir weiter alle möglichen Sachen unter dem Mikroskop an. Der Junge kriegt ein neues. Für DAS Geld ist dies ein unglaublich gutes Gerät.

These were gifts for a couple of little guys.

The X scope is a great toy for interested inquisitive little hands and minds. The very fact they have managed to cram seven functions into one toy is quite an achievement . All the functions are very good and work well and some perform above expendations.1. The whistle , what I loved about this is you can hear it but it's not going to get you looking for a hammer to terminate the annoying noise. It's loud enough for my grandson to warn me that the zombie hoards are approaching , but not to loud ar shrill tha the neighbors will complain.2. The microscope , I was very impressed by its simplicity and its function. Just adjust the light and take a look as we did at a dead wood louse and it looked like an armoured dinosaur from a science fiction film ,you could see clearly every detail even the tiny hairs on the legs . My little grandson was absolutely amazed , he spent hours looking for things to inspect around the garden.3. The torch is a small bulb led light. It's not going to light up a room but great for a little boy to go in his blanket den.4. The pirate telescope as my grandson called it has a good magnification ,again it's not gong to replace your lika binoculars to go twitching. But for a five year old boy it's powerful enough to look for pirates on the high seas or look for granddads jack Russell down the garden.5. The clock is a great little aid to help a boy or girl learn the time.6. I have now got a better sense of where everything is placed in my house and garden. My little explorer loves the compass he checks the direction of everything and is making a treasure map using his compass.7. Last but not least a magnifying glass which makes checking things quickly before putting them under the microscope.It's a great educational , fun , toy. Like all toys of this nature it's not a toy you can give to a child and let him get on with it as he would proberly but it down after a few minutes. However if you take time to explain and demonstrate what it can do , your child like my grandson will get hours of fun from this inexpensive educational toy. Well worth every penny hours of fun and exploration for very little outlay.
