Carson X-Scope Kids 7 Function Multi Purpose Optical Pocket Tool with 30x Microscope, 8x Telescope, 9x Fold-Out Magnifier, Flashlight, Signal Whistle, Directional Compass and Digital Clock (CP-11)

Awesome little tool for a child to explore their world with. I have brought this in the past, and it was lost by my kid. He wanted another so badly, so based on their response to the loss of it, I would say that it is well worth the price

Great microscope, telescope, and overall fun discovery tool for my 7 year old son. I especially like how the light tilts to the side to look at items under the microscope view. My son loves it. We’ve gone around and inspected so many things up close! It’s plastic but it seems as if it won’t break easily.

It’s a very good scope, considering the cost. I got one about 2 years ago for my daughter, and just picked up 2 more to give as gifts. The microscope is probably the best feature. One thing I have learned is that the LED light in this does not get very bright if 1.25V rechargeable batteries used. Alkaline or lithium 1.5V required for actual usable brightness. The whistle is loud and clear. At first I thought something must have broke inside this scope during transit because the scope rattled when picked up and moved around. But then I realized that it was the pea of the whistle. The little 9x swing out magnifier works OK, it’s lens is plastic so the magnified view through it is a little warped, but still clear enough that fine print is legible. The telescope function works fairly well, but needs a very steady hand to see much through it. As noted in some other reviews, the compass does not work well while batteries are in. Close proximity to the batteries pretty much make the compass useless. having batteries in it for extended periods does not ruin the magnetic properties of the compass, however. I suspect a small amount of EMF created by the battery constantly powering the clock is what upsets the compass. The clock does not keep time well. Oh well, it’s not needed at all.

I ordered a pair of these and both kids are very excited to use them. Overall, it's a nice outdoor toy with fun features and without any sharps or knives. So far, the microscope is the favorite function. Oddly, on one of the two, the quartz clock will set but doesn't keep time. Seems like a total fluke, so having it replaced. Update: clock works as expected on the replacement. Great fun.

I didn't expect this toy to be nearly as awesome as it was for my 5 year old (my 8 year old even likes it and steals it from his brother all the time). Heck it's even fun for an adult to use. ALL the functions described ACTUALLY WORK and work well. My husband and I even got a kick out of looking at the kitchen counter granite. Durability - he's had it for 6 months and it still looks new, but I've also cautioned him against banging or dropping it. Most unexpected use...needed a lighted magnification to remove a splinter from my son's hand and this toy was all I had handy. It worked great and I actually went looking for it again to remove another splinter several weeks later. This is such an inexpensive item but the amount of use it's gotten was well worth the price. This is the 3rd toy of this type we've purchased and this is by far the best.

All functions work well, except for the digital clock, it doesn't keep time and buttons stopped working after a month

Real nice and works as expected

My boys, ages 5 and 8, thoroughly enjoyed the different functions. It’s a great process to value given the number of things it does. To my surprise, the microscope function is pretty good. It really does magnify small items to where you can see the pixels of ink of a page.

Il prodotto è come descritto, un piccolo strumento consigliato come regalo

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.

Muy buen juguete. El microscopio se ve muy bien, parece uno profesional y el catalejo lo mismo.

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.
