Anyone know about spotting scopes?

Dad has into his bird watching for a long time and has decided to take the plunge and buy a spotting scope. He has 10x magnification on his binoculars but that’s the limit of what he can hold steady so wants more magnification on a tripod mount.

Does anyone have any experiences with these?
