This review is from: Kowa TSN-601 Standard Optics 60mm Angled Spotting Scope (Electronics)

I am pleased with this scope. I do not have experience with many scopes so I could not comment on the relative image quality compared to others. The larger Kwan scopes receive high ratings by reviewers, but I did not find a review of this smaller Kwan . The big plus with this scope is the relatively small size and light weight. This feature makes possible using a lower cost and lower weight tripod such as those designed for a camera. Thus, the whole package can be easily transported.
