Olimt 8x25 Monocular Telescope, Mini Pocket Compact Small Size Portable Handheld Lightweight ED Glass Wide Angle View Waterproof Monoscope for Adults Hiking Camping Backpacking Outdoor Travel Hunting

Very high quality monocular. I recommend them and will also be ordering the 10×25 model soon.

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.

Nice little monocular that shows a crisp, sharp image. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 star rating is that the focus ring turns a bit smoother/faster than what I'd like. Every time I grab it to view something, I have to adjust the focus ring even if the object is at the same distance than the prevoius object I viewed.

High quality for a low price.

Pretty good, solid and works in the rain. Finger prints can blur an image so make sure to keep it clean. It's about the same size as the small cheap plastic monoculars found in gift shops, but it is so much better.

Works as expected. Its small size makes it easy to store and take with you on your adventures .

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.

It's hard to be critical of this monocular telescope. Construction on it is good. It works as advertised. Price is OK. Focus's decently. Included strap and carry bag are decent. It's small enough to easily fit in a pocket. I'm trying to figure out my use case for this. I have a few others, mostly for shooting and bird watching. They both magnify better and are a bit bigger. They won't fit in a pocket either. They also magnify more. Usually when I'm doing such activities I would have a gear bag with me.

Im Unterschied zu anderen (zugegeben: teils deutlich günstigeren) Monokularen (8x25) haben wir hier ein Vollmetallgehäuse (ohne Gummierung außen: Also kein (günstiger) Kunststoff, der altern/brüchig werden könnte), ED-Glas, BAK4-Pismen und einen breiten, in der Mitte des Gehäuses liegenden Fokussier-Ring (ansonsten i.d.R.: schmal und direkt am Auge liegend). Die optische Leistung ist erstaunlich gut (erreicht aber natürlich nicht das Level einer zum Vergleich herangezogenen Zeiss-Optik, die mehr als das 10fache kostet), auch bei etwas eingeschränkten Lichtverhältnissen. Für mich als rel. günstige EDC-Optik eine gute Wahl. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: Statt eines Aufbewahrungsbeutels wäre ein Etui zur Befestigung am Gürtel/Rucksack wünschenswert.

Preis Leistung OK. Einstellung könnte etwas präziser sein. Sie ist auch ein kleines bisschen zu Leichtgängig. Bin aber ganz zufrieden!

Klein, leicht, handlich und eine sehr gute Optik. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Monokulsr 😀

Optisch könnte das Ding besser dastehen, aber ich habe keine bezahlbare, wertige Alternative gefunden. Die Verarbeitung des Gehäuses und die Vergütung des Gläser ist sehr gut und hochwertig. Die mechanischen und optische Eigenschaften sind gerade akzeptabel, aber man darf keine Zeiss oder Leica Qualität erwarten. Für den jederzeit schnellen Blick im Revier ausreichend
