Comparison of two mini monoculars Carson and Roxant

Wanted to take something small with me on a trip. To enjoy the view and spot the wildlife. For my use it works great. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Including case and cleaning cloth. When I bought a ROXANT mini monocular, I also bought a Carson mini monocular for comparison. They are about the same quality and price. Either this is a great buy I highly recommend. They are about the same size, smaller than I expected in terms of display quality, amazing. Carson is only three inches long! The Roxant is slightly shorter (see my comment on the eyecup) which could be the reason for the slight difference. The Carson is slightly heavier and not as comfortable in size as the Roxant due to its shape and slightly wider. However, the shape is very comfortable in the hand. And the extra weight makes it feel premium. The Carson packaging was very difficult to open. Roxant was in a plain box, no problem! The Carson eyecup is longer, at least twice as long as the Roxant. This makes Carson easier to use (and a little longer). When I hold Roxant to my eye in bright light, my eyelashes are reflected. This makes Roxant a bit more difficult to use than Carson. Carson can be placed on the eye socket. As a result, Carson is easier to hold still to focus better at a distance. The Roxant case was much smaller and more comfortable than Carson's case. However, the Carson sleeve is made out of canvas and I assume the inside is made out of soft polyester. The Roxant case is either plastic or ripstop (hopefully ripstop). And he has a soft heart. But it doesn't seem to perform as well as the Carson case. Roxant ultra-lightweight high-resolution mini pocket monocular Pros: slightly smaller, light weight, small body, decent quality Cons: shorter eyecup, harder to focus, body quality Carson MiniMight 6x18mm pocket monocular with snap hook Pros: small size, light weight, decent quality, good body, easier to focus, comfortable to hold Cons: Body is larger than necessary, packaging was awkward to open
