Just received my Blackbird Spotting Scope. First impression upon opening the box is how small it is. Was concerned that it was too small but after setting it up and looking at the landscape and some wildlife around our house there is no concern on the size. Large enough for what I need and yet small enough to not take up too much space and makes it very easy to carry with me whenever I go places. The zoom is perfect and the focus ring are both very smooth and easy to use without losing what you were looking at and have to readjust the scope.
The unit itself feels very sturdy along with the metal tripod. I would not consider banging it around but it feels like it would stand up on travels and use. I love the coating used on it which makes it less likely to get dropped from slipping out of my hands especially in back country where conditions can get a bit messy.
I took it out of the box and was able to use it fully without the instructions which I did read after playing with it for a while. Hands on kind of guy to see how things work first. Same as asking for directions. I purchased it for going to the shooting range but have not been able to get there yet. That comes next week end but I have no concerns that it will provide me with what I wanted. Not to have to walk 50 or more yards each time I shoot to see where my shots hit. All in all it is a great little scope for exactly what I need, the price is good for what you get, the scope is built to last and be used, I would recommend this to friends and I actually have a friend in mind to gift one to. Great product.

Overall, the Blackbird does feel like a quality piece of gear and I am happy with it
I have had the scope for just over a week.I have it mounted on the tripod on my desk facing south towards our amazing 180° view of Haleakala Volcano in Maui. With the changes in light and clouds, it is like a constantly evolving photographic landscape. I supplement the viewing with a pair of 8 x 21 binoculars which I sometimes use to 'spot' for the spotting scope. I will also use it watching the surfers from the cliffs at Ho'okipa. I use it to watch the deer, pheasant and other wildlife around our house. I will use it to track the planes and helicopters on the flightpath over our house.The size is 'good enough', though, now having tried the Blackbird, I would probably go for a slightly larger scope next time. Because I'm using it on a tripod, most of the time, I don't require the compact size of the Blackbird. I will take it on trips around the island from time to time and that's when the compact size will come into play, although I have four other binoculars that I keep in the car, at home, and at work.The build and construction does feel solid, though I admit I was expecting a slightly more solid feel, based on the advertising.There is one area in which I have some minor issues.I like the location and size of the focus ring, compared to some other brands but I find the increments of turn in the 360° difficult to adjust. I find that I run past the focal point too easily and have to adjust back and forth too many times. I feel that a cogged turn, rather than the "smooth glide", or less resistance in the focus ring, would be more helpful in limiting this run-on. By the time I have found the correct focus and am ready to magnify, I have shifted the whole scope and lost the object in view.Overall, the Blackbird does feel like a quality piece of gear and I am happy with it.I like the tripod and am happy that it was included in the price. Metal, rather than plastic, is perfect. I will buy another large tripod to use when I take the scope out onto the Lanai or just to use when standing rather than at a my desk.Very easy to figure out. Roxant's explanation of how to focus first with the objective lens, then magnify, is not always as obvious as it should be, and did help me to understand the function of the scope.The price is very fair. There's a lot of quality for that price. my earlier comments are purely based on form and function and not based on the relative economic value of the Blackbird.I would highly recommend it.
