8x25 Monocular Telescope Mini Pocket Monocular Compact Monoculars for Adults

While you may wish a different size for your needs, this was a perfect addition to my binoculars. I have a large wide angle 8x50 Nikon for stars, I bought a small $500 compact pair of binocs for the eclipse (for my grandson) and gave my mini monoc to a friend who was going to Machu Picchu. This was to replace the monoc I gave away. This monoc seemed to be a new brand to me. And a the reviews were from people in an Amazon program to get stuff for free and review. Not exactly independent, but they were all positive. I decided to give it a try as it had the sleeker form factor compared to others, had what was described as good optics, waterproof and fog proof, metal body... Its in my hands now and I've used it for a day.Pros:I have to say the views are excellent! I like the build quality. It focuses smoothly. Good eye relief.In short it is a pleasure.Cons: These are nitpicky and small complaints... I'd have liked a better case than a velvet bag. Did not need to be leather just something formfitting, cushioned inside, vinyl outside, Velcro closure. The wrist strap seems quality but I have big hands and the rubber material does not slip on as easy as regular quality string. Though it might stay on the wrist better... The stud on the side to attach the wrist or other strap is well made and works well. I'm just very particular about the sleeker form factor. I'd have liked a pass through flush hole on the body of the monoc. (But this is really being fussy), that same stud also helps to easily keep the body from rotating in your hand while focusing, which is about perfect for the friction level: its not to much to turn (smoothly), and is enough to keep it in focus.

does what it says and very clear image

Good compact size. Like the fact that the lease cover is attached to eyepiece.

I order this so I could see the station #’s from across the road that I doing inspections on, works great

This monocular is super easy to focus. Clear picture would recommend.

I can tuck this into a pocket on my life vest when kayaking. Perfect for getting a closer look at wildlife.

Great monocular

Strictly my opinion, of course, but I was not satisfied with the all steel build or, especially, the resolution of the optics in this product and returned it and purchased another brand instead. As the title states, I consider it to be a mass produced, overpriced product made in China.
