I couldn't resist buying one either! The little tripod works great on the dining room table and I am quite impressed by the way I can view birds in the trees behind the house which are just too far away for clear views through the bins.

I needed it like I need a hole in the head, but for £25 it seemed a shame not to!

Got one of these from ALDI Tyldesley yesterday (NB none at Horwich and I suspect not at Ashton in Makerfield either). Am very impressed. Comes with a handy tiny tripod - no good for a scope but OK for my camcorder last night when filming my husband in his church variety show!! A standard attachment, which I had, fits into the bottom and I can use it on my normal tripod. Also comes with a case. OK, it's cheap and cheerful but for £24.99 - about 2% I suppose of what I paid for my current scope and its lens, etc - you can't go wrong. And it's light. Not bad for photos either. OK for those days when you think - shall I take a scope? Is it worth it? Will I need it?

steve,i think you,ll find jessops scope tp327 more than adequete for the aldi scope and quite resonable.

cheers geoff

Aldi Eccles also has them, bought one as was looking to purchase a scope anyway, dont think will i will go far wrong with one of these for the price they are going for.
Just need to get a proper Tripod now....

Aldi in Tydesley have a shedful of £24.99 scopes(the same ones Lidls were doing last year)They're really good as a spare or to leave in your car,GET ONE whilst stocks last,well recommended at the price. Pete Berry
