As a pro photographer who lives in the mountains, I love snapping pictures of wildlife. The walls of my home are peppered with photos of owls, foxes, elk and bears. That said, I don’t always carry my wildlife setup with me. It’s heavy, bulky and expensive — it ran me more than $5,000 (gulp). But, thankfully, now I don’t always need it: The Md.Life 80x Zoom Monocular Telescope, on sale for only $42, means any shutterbug can get good close-up images with the camera that’s already in their pocket: their phone.
