Optics not sharp. OK for the money. Decent for something to throw in a tackle box or glove box to get a closer look at something

Some of the other reviews nailed it. I bought three comparable item to test them out. This scored the lowest of three because its zoom capability does not match its ability to focus. Although it feels like a solid build and the focus dial is pretty much perfect regarding its balance of tension and ease, its worthless if you never see quite as clear as you could with other products. Secondly, the image does not pop or have the "HD" quality. Lastly, the eye cup is made of relatively cheap rubber. Mine came folded in on one side and it doesn't look like it will take normal shape anytime soon.Pros: Solid build. Focus/Zoom dial has a perfect balance of tension to ease making it easier to dial with one handCons: Zoom/Focus are do not have the nats butt ratio that you want. Image clarity is mediocre. Eye cup is cheap rubber.

Great value for a monocular. I am not a binocular/monocular expert, but this monocular works very well for the price. I specifically bought this for light weight, versatility, and for the kids. At times, I've found it hard to let my family use my Vortex binoculars for quick use. The adjustments seemed a bit too complicated and time consuming for them. They just wanted it to work. I found that using this monocular did just the trick. I also bought this for the convenience of not toting around a larger set of binoculars. I find this an acceptable replacement to throw in my day pack and much easier/quicker to use to look at distant objects and for getting my bearing. The images were not as sharp and bright as my Vortex, but did great in full sunlight and did well toward evenings. For the fraction of the cost, this monocular is built with a good quality rubber coat to absorb drops and dings from being stored in a bag or bumping around in the console of my truck. I wish the covers (eye cup and lens cover) were somehow attached to the unit to avoid losing them, but for this price, I can't complain.I would highly recommend this product for it's quality build, good optics, and price-value.

This was my first monocular. I ordered it on September 14- after months of comparison against other monoculars in the $10-40 price range- and it arrived on the 18th- almost a week earlier than expected! I was very pleased.Beyond the shipping, the monocular itself is spectacular. I bought it for use hiking, camping, and everyday use, thinking it would be more portable than binoculars, and so far, it has not failed to deliver. The optics are very clear and crisp. The objective opening is large enough to let in plenty of light. The eye relief is useful, so I can use the monocular with or without my glasses, even if it doesn't stay folded back very well. I was very satisfied with the magnification power- enough to show the image very clearly without too much shake- and I'm glad I didn't select a higher magnification- this is plenty.The grip is comfortable, it's aesthetically pleasing. I had a problem where if you pull the eyepiece out it doesn't focus, and it was confusing until I popped it back into place and was able to focus. I believe the idea is to be able to lock a focus in place if you like that focus.The case is nicely padded on the inside, and I was glad it came with lens covers, though the eyepiece cover kept slipping off as I pulled out of the case. The lens cloth is of the cheapest quality- I'd say just use one intended for glasses, as this one is literally falling apart. The case came with a small tear in the seam, but it doesn't affect the protective advantage of the object.Overall, I was extremely pleased with the quality of the product and would definitely recommend it.

I live in a rural area, hunt, hike and shoot at a range. Was looking for something like this that was easy to carry and had decent optics. I was just outside with this and my initial impressions are positive. Has a large field of vision, is easy to focus and fits nicely in my hand. I little larger than I was expecting but that's fine. I was able to focus on a beer can about 25 yards away from me that I was using as a pellet gun target and was able to see the individual holes I had shot in the can. I was able to spot and see in detail a small bird at about 100 yds. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 and not 5 stars is the fact that (as others have stated) it is a little difficult to hold steady, especially sighting something at a distance and this does not have threads to enable one to attach a tripod to it. If it did, it would be just about perfect. Still, I'm glad I purchased it and it will get a lot of use.

The monocular itself is very high quality. Its waterproof, it has a nice solid feel to it, it has a wrist strap, it's textured and has placements for your fingers for added grip. It comes with a black cloth case, the monocular fits snug inside and the case it has a loop so you can pull your belt through it and keep it by your side. The eye piece works as intended, but you have to place it carefully over your eye so you don't get your eyelashes to interfere with your view. You can adjust the eyepiece it for better clarity based on the distance of the object you are looking at. You do this by simply twisting it clockwise or counterclockwise. It takes a bit to get it just right and property adjusted, but it does the job. It also comes with a cover for the eyepiece and for the lens. I could see how these could be easily lost, you can slide them into the case, but there isn't a whole lot of room for storage. Overall the view is clear and for the price I think you get a very high quality monocular. I intend to use mine for camping and kayaking.
