Body Metal, some parts are plastic. it's a decent scope,, you can actually see very well. I've used it to look at cells w the kids and I could see clearly.

The one I have is plastic. I am very pleased with the item. It doesn't feel "cheaply made". I would recommend. It works great for me.

I would say it is plastic... Not detecting an metal at all. The grip is so so.....I am having trouble with the battery connection often. You have to really tighten the connection with the hard to mover spin wheel and then eventually it loosen and you have to tighten again. I personally am using it more for the grip that I get with my nikon d7100 and the way the camera feels in my hand than for the back up battery. If one battery runs out or very low.. I just switch the battery locations since I don't trust the connection

The probe is stainless material. The readout and control box is plastic. Mine has been very durable.John Feltwell answered on March 15, 2014

This one is plastic. I have had it mounted for several months and found it very durable.

It is some kind of metal not as heavy as military kind but better than plastic. Used it twice works well not bad for beginners (bought for my brother) learning how to use with a map.

Negative, it is made of pretty strong plastic, mine however had uneven threads and had to be glued back together, twice, I replaced it with a nikon!!

It is metal. And it worked great for me. No issues. However, I think this one is too short to mount an optic to.

Looks like plastic to me. Some brass where the battery is. No mater what it's made of, it works great for looking at things like coins etc.

I want to say plastic . I was dumb and bought a used machine guaranteed for 6 months and sure enough 5 and a half months later it quit so I threw it out. It was to say the least a disappointment and another thing it is a tiny piece of machinery

It appears to be a heavy plastic w/metal cutters. I love this slicer! Made an Apple pie in minutes!

I'm pretty sure the lens is plastic. It is very light weight. I have found it to work very well for my close-up beadwork

It is plastic. I don't really reccomend it though. On ours the battery didn't work and it broke within a month. It just wasn't good quality.

Metal. Some of the other parts are plastic and it helps with keeping the lens weight down. Excellent lens.

It is made of hard plastic, and is very well made. It is quite small...but the details are wonderfully done....I was quite pleased with the model, and my grandson loved it....

It is metal. The whole thing is solid design with smooth bearing motion. I have used it with three different size cameras and it is easy to adjust for each.

It is made of plastic except for the metal blade, and it is very sharp. I like that it is easy to use and very easy to clean.
