In general: not bad. For $13: great! There are two facts about buying optics: quality lenses are expensive and size matters. Manufacturing quality lenses requires precision and expensive materials. It's just impossible to avoid. For the most part, the phrase "you get what you pay forโ€ definitely applies to optics of all types. Are $1,000 binoculars or monoculars twice as good as a $500 model? Maybe not, but if you want good quality, be prepared to shell out $100 or more. Also, when it comes to optics used for long-distance viewing, more is better (in terms of image sharpness and brightness). This product is small and cheap, but for what you get, it's incredibly good value. In broad daylight, the picture is very clear for its size. It's tiny and fits in every pocket. It comes with a cute little carrying case. And it's ONLY $13! My only complaint is that the rubber eyecup doesn't roll back for glasses wearers. I can use it with glasses but the image will double in size if I put it right up to my eye. If you are looking for a serious birding or hunting optic you will be disappointed. When you want to carry something inconspicuously in your pocket, it lets you see things you can't see with the naked eye. That's it! Oh yes, I mentioned. 13 dollars?! In my opinion it's worth it.

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
