occer Upgraded 12X42 HD Compact Monocular Telescope for Adults, Small Monoculars with 25mm Large Eyepiece & Bak4 Prism Optics,Dual Focus Low Light Scope for Bird Watching,Hunting,Gifts for Men

It has a lot of the features of the more expensive models, w/o the cost and name recognition. I spend a fair amount of time in nature. I wanted to be able to see and experience my surroundings up close and not pay an arm and a leg in the process... this monocular allows me to do that. Well protected, easy to focus w/ eye glass relief, this gets me "up close and personal" with whatever I'm looking at. I'm gonna use this tool tonight to view comet Neowise in the North Eastern sky... it should be spectacular. An excellent tool at an excellent value.

Received my monocular today along with another order in 1 box. The box the monocular was a little beat up, but not damage to the monocular.This comes with a carrying case with a belt loop, a strap that connects to the tripod screw, a small cleaning cloth & 2 dust covers. The front dust cover flips down & stays attached. The rear one is loose but you can loop the strap through it to keep with the monocular. I guess this cord could also be used as a carrying strap.In using this today to check it out I am finding the optics to be sharp when in focus. The focus wheel turns easily and smooth with one finger, not tight at all. The rear of the monocular can also be moved back about 1/2 of an inch as may be needed for glasses. There is also a screw in the bottom so you can attach to a tripod. Will be using on a tripod later this year to try this as a spotting scope when we go target shooting.In one of my photos taken with a cell phone through the monocular, I am looking at a mailbox about 80 yards away. The photo may not show it but I can see the house #'s on the post quite clearly and the field of view is better then my cell phone photo shows.Overall I am very happy with this purchase. The only "con" I can think of would be the instructions in English (not that you really need them).If you are looking for a good & relatively cheap monocular, look no further.

I love my monocular. It is perfect size and perfect weight. It is especially suited for someone with one weak eye or loss of vision in one eye. Several years ago I had eye cancer. I had radiation therapy and the cancer was killed; my eye was saved; but I lost vision in right eye. So the monocular is so perfect for someone like me who has one good eye.I sit in my backyard and watch the birds up close with my Occer monocular.I love the monocular. It is compact; lightweight; easy to use and GREAT in giving me clear, easy to focus images of the birds.I felt like Goldilocks as I ordered so many sets of binoculars and also another monocular and returned them all. They were either to heavy for me to easily hold for a length of time; or I just couldn't get comfortable with them. I am so grateful I finally found the Occer monocular.

Made well, light weight, smaller than expected...this is not 12x...i have 7x35 binoculars that are about the same. But i will say for the price worth it. focus well , very clear image great for travel, feels like could take abuse too.

Very used to use and sharp focus; I really like this product. If you are looking for an easy to carry easy to use binocular that you can keep in the truck keeping the car always have handy this is a great option. The case is okay (for the price) and there are lens caps on both ends, the larger one is attached but the other one you do have to keep track of or it will get lost. Field of view is good and low light performance is decent also. I I have taken this hiking several times and enjoy using it. It has held up just fine I despite being dropped once or twice and I think it's fairly rugged. All of though I received this item for free from the manufacturer in order to test it, this monocular it is so inexpensive anyway I wouldn't really worry about what might happen to it.

Fun stocking stuffer gift. Easy to use. Small enough to keep in the car for the times you wish you had one handy.

I was looking for a good, compact, high power monocular, and when I came across this one with it's great price point. I had to give it a try. I'm glad I did. For it's price, the optics are outstanding. The image is bright, sharp and clear right out to the edges. It's light weight and easy to handle and focus with one hand. The build quality is also excellent with no cheap feel to it. The lens caps fit nice and tight and the front one stays attached when open. It also comes with a tripod mounting hole. Another nice feature is it has adjustable positions to set your preferred eye relief from the objective so your eye lashes aren't rubbing up against the lens.. As icing on the cake, I even got an email from Occer thanking me for my purchase. Only a company committed to customer satisfaction would take that extra step, and I appreciate that.

I’m not sure if this is the case with all monocular, but I find them to be harder on the eye(s). These in particular are easy to focus and have great range. The optics are fine too, but there is chromatic aberration in some instances.I’ll probably get something smaller next time as this one is just big enough to be inconvenient to carry. I’d prefer there to be a belt clip on these. Instead of a hand strap.For the money I still recommend this. It’s by no means a bad product, but it could be improved. Regardless, I’m still giving it a 5*
