Good image quality in a handy format

• Razor-sharp image
• Lightweight
• easy to focus
• No lens hoods

Handy viewer, crosshairs clearly visible. Unfortunately no lens hoods, but a handy case. Lens rubber can be folded away so that the viewer can also be used with glasses.

Good Monocular especially for this money!

• Easy to use
• Good picture
• Rubber at eye bends quickly

I bought this monocular to get a quick look when I'm walking in nature.
There is an option to estimate distances. The "crosshair" is not too thick and does not interfere with viewing natural beauty.
Overall happy with my purchase so far.
