Love it! Portable, affordable and functional!

If you are looking for a decent quality monocular at a reasonable price, this is the product for you. It came with a few extra accessories which I thought were great as it was quite cheap. Accessories included, a bag that can hold all the accessories and the monocular, a carrying case for the monocular itself, 2 mini tripods, one with flexible legs. and one with straight legs, a phone holder that attaches to the lens, two straps that attach to the monocular, a small one for the wrist and a long one for the neck, and finally an eye patch which I'm guessing consists of that to block light from the eye that is not looking through the monocular. I bought this because I needed a compact scope for a few days on the range. When trying a straight leg tripod with camera mount it seems to stay in place. However, if you plan to use it on the shooting range, I would recommend not placing it on the table you are shooting from as the vibrations will move the monocular. The gooseneck works well, but you won't adjust it to the exact position. I didn't use the straps as I keep the monocular in a fixed position and don't move most of the time, but for people who hike or bird watch I can see how useful they would be. The straps are good quality and look like they will hold up. My favorite accessory that turned out to be a benefit for me was the camera mount. I can connect my phone and take pictures through the monocular. At the shooting range I put it on the next table, pick it up and start shooting. When I'm done shooting, I can film each shot and where I hit the target. In combination with splatter targets, it is ideal for shooting or practice. Before attaching the camera mount, I found it best to first place the phone in the mount, line up the eyehole, then look into the monocular to adjust the zoom and focus, and then place the mount on the monocular. To get rid of the annoying black border, zoom in 2x. It works great and you get the entire screen sharp without the black border. Lastly the eye patch, it's good quality but I don't think I'll be using it with my monocular no matter how it looks, for example this year I'll probably dress up as a pirate for Halloween.

Pros
  • Easy to carry
Cons
  • Almost never
