Not real bright view, the edges of the field of view are a bit soft, but for the price this is markedly better than the cheapy binoculars often sold for ten or twenty bucks. This monocular is very small and light-weight. Handy carry case that fits on your belt. A nice little piece of field equipment to carry in the outdoors, to concerts, and for travel. Comes with a lint/cleaning cloth and a handy wrist strap. 3 stars primarily to be honest, objective and let you know this doesn't compare to something with much more expensive optics. It's really a 5 star rating when compared to anything in its price class. 3 stars The following review received 8 helpful votes out of 8 total votes: Review Date: 2007-03-23 "Satisfactory monocular" This product met my expectations for a monocular priced under $30, except the close focus wasn't quite as close as advertised. Instead of 13 inches, it is more like 15-16 inches, but it focuses very smoothly and is free of major defects or optical aberrations. 4 stars The following review received 6 helpful votes out of 6 total votes: Review Date: 2007-01-10 "For Looking Into My Aquarium" I purchased this Brunton Pocket Scope for the purpose of looking into my micro reef aquarium to see with more detail the tiny creatures inside. It works reasonably well for this purpose, and certainly better than probably all other pocket scopes on the market since it has a near focus of 13 inches. Of course, to maintain focus at such close range, you need to be quite still. There is an aquarium specific product that I suspect works much better, but it costs around $400 (if I remember correctly). Considering it costs less than $25 here at Amazon, the Brunton earns 3.5 to 4 stars. 4 stars The following review received 6 helpful votes out of 14 total votes: Review Date: 2008-01-11 "Too fragile" The day I received this item I tested by looking at the skyline outside my window and everything looked fine enough ... unitl I accidentally dropped it on the carpet. The short fall made the whole insides of the scope come apart and next time I looked through it there was just a blur. 1 star The following review received 5 helpful votes out of 6 total votes: Review Date: 2007-08-10 "great little pocket scope and exceptional price" this little gem is incredible for what you get for such a low price. I replaced another rei generic scope with this one and am glad I made the switch. i will continue to buy brunton products as they are built very well and are simple in design and to operate. 5 stars | |
