The monocular is pretty good, I love it, but the smartphone adapter is not, it broke pretty easy, I recommend to get a separate one, there is an Amazon choose made of steel. But other than the adapters quality the monocular is beautiful and useful.

I’ve been wanting to see the nest our moorhens on the pond have been making. Needing something lightweight to carry across to pond but something that would help me see them properly. This does help with that and so portable so for days out in the future and seeing objects in the distance a good thing to have. What I’d like most I suppose on it which is a bit of a niggle to me is maybe a strap for carrying it that but better. Apart from that it just a basic monocular telescope which has good magnification but not the highest rate at all. Suppose it’s all to do with price and that’s why some are double the money or money. If just wanting one for looking at birds and wildlife in your garden or days out spotting things good enough for that. I think for the more experienced bird watcher though it might not be good enough. Serves our purpose though snd being kept in a handy place to watch the wildlife on our pond.

Before proceeding, let's be clear and set expectations: At under £30 we're talking budget telescope/monoculars here...So it arrives and and seems reasonably well made, with a protective bag.In terms of optics, they're actually pretty reasonable in daytime and 12x50 is pretty decent.Now I don't know why they claimed "night vision", because it clearly doesn't have any, and the optics for star gazing are definitely nothing special.The included tripod and smart phone adaptor, are a nice gesture, but the quality of them is poor in my opinion and they'd been better off reducing the price by and couple of pounds and not including them!It's let down a little by the misleading nightvision claim and cheap accessories. However it's still a decent enough monocular for the money that I'd give it my recommendation.

I was very pleased with the monocular, it is light, easy to use and I particularly like the lens covers which are retained during use so prevent loss. It has a bright clear image and feels comfortable in use. I only have one minor critic and this is the focus control. It has excessive slack so you have to take up the backlash on the control before it reverses the direction. This is not a problem as you quickly get used to it but I feel it is a simple fix that would improve the device and make it easier to use.

Now I can enjoy not only my backyard feathered friends but it's perfect to take hiking and other outdoor activities allowing me to enjoy beautiful nature at it's best.This monocular has great optics, despite having a low price tag. Would make very good gift, great price.

For a low cost compact monocular this is good value. It comes with phone attachment (for viewing/taking photos on your phone), mini tripod, carry pouch and hand strap as extra accessories.The monocular feels comfortable in the hand, with a smooth focus wheel and twist out eye cup and has a rubber coating for all round protection against knocks.The magnification is 12x (eyepiece) with a 50mm objective lens to give a reasonably bright image. The phone attachment is a handy extra, but most phones will have a decent zoom and lens quality to match, or exceed, the one here.Looking through the monocular reveals a good image, free from edge blur and fringing which is often found on lower cost binoculars/monoculars. The image here is clear from centre to edge.For a low cost optic, this is a great value monocular.

It’s been well made and heavy duty. It's great for wide animal watching. The optics are very clean. It comes with it's own tripod and can also be used with other tripods

If you need optical gain and your life doesn't depend on it (military, law enforcement, etc.) you cant go wrong with these. They are just as good as my Bushnell glasses. I got them for camping and checking out what my dogs are chasing on my garden. Good product.
