Review on 🦅 Wingspan Optics Explorer 12X50 Monocular - High-Powered, Bright, and Clear - Single-Hand Focus - Waterproof & Fog Proof - Ideal for Bird Watching, Wildlife Observation - Daytime Use - Formerly Polaris Optics by Marcus Price

Poor; By far the biggest problem is that the FOV is too narrow for a good display. 246 feet at 1000 yards is a tricky way of not showing true field of view. The rubber eyepiece cap is not enough and the diameter is too small. You have to hold it 1/4 inch from your eye and it wobbles a lot. I had to install my own eyepiece cup (see pictures) to keep it close to my eye and also keep it out of the inside. Adjustable eyecup, just to allow people with glasses. My new eyecup protects against this. There's no way to install a strap or straps, and it's really stupid. This is how monoculars fall off a cliff. I had to make my own mark. See photo. More like 10x compared to my 7x, 10x, 16x and 25x binoculars. The tripod screw takes an awful lot of tightening to hold it in place, but this one is metal with retractable legs. The price is too high and there is no "retail price" of 199. It costs 40 tops. There is no tripod adapter included, too bad because you need one. " and the rubberized coating is comfortable to hold. The optics are clear and good quality, sharp and bright. Comes with travel case. Easy to focus. Overall size and weight works well when the binoculars are too big or too heavy with FOV I should have just gotten a good Celestron 12 x 50, 70, 100 or better Even used good ones are better than trying to see something in a narrow field of view with one eye I would return them but they are so serviceable I'll stick with this one Monocular Do yourself a favor and get some good binoculars, your eyes will last longer.
