Compact Waterproof SCOKC Monocular 8x20 ED Telescope Eyepiece with Flat Field Bak4 Prisms – Ideal for Birdwatching, Hunting, Camping, and Traveling (Black) Review

Surprised by the quality of the product for the price ($69)! Excellent clarity, light transmission, eye relief and portability. I tried 4 other Revain monoculars (some twice the price) before settling on this one as it has all the features I need. The retractable eyecup has a longer eye relief than the others. Lightweight and very sharp focus. Comes with lens caps attached! And a case, strap + 2 towels! Portable and light enough to fit in a shirt pocket. In addition, first-class materials were…

This is a great monocular! Some products are well made and you can tell that straight away. This applies to this SKOKC. The build quality is excellent! And it comes with all the accessories you could possibly need: a phone holder, a carrying case, a wrist strap and an optics cleaning cloth. The quality of the optics is excellent. It's really nice to be able to look through the lens and see things so clearly - in such a small, handy device. What I like most about this monocular is that it is so…

This SCOKC Monocular 8x20 ED eyepiece does not replace my binoculars but is certainly a useful addition. I keep this monocular in our old/new house in New England on the table next to my recliner and desk chair (personality depends on what I'm doing) because birds and other wild animals appear with some regularity in the woods just behind our house . It's nice to be able to react quickly with an eyepiece that doesn't monopolize a small stage. They're also great for carrying around when you're…

It really brings things close, front and center. It comes with lens caps to keep dirt and dust out when not in use and fits in your pocket. I could see clearly without my prescription, which is really nice because it's not that easy to see through the glasses. I was able to point in the direction of the bird singing the melody of summer and I found a nest that contained two birds. I didn't realize they started nest building so early but now I can track this particular pair of birds with…

Well thought out little monocular, well made with crisp, clear images. The lenses on either end are small, so your eye or phone lens should be as centered as possible. If you're off-centre there's serious vignette and cropping, which is a trade-off with such a compact lens. It's also quite a powerful zoom, so you'll need to keep it as still as possible. There is a tripod mount on the phone mount so you can keep it really stable even with a compact tripod. I wish the focus wheel wasn't as heavy…

No one can deny that sometimes you need to be visually close without being physically close. The problem I had was that the bug bag was gaining more weight than it had capacity. I love my Leupold binoculars very much, but they do me no favors when it comes to razor ounces. For reference, my Leupold binoculars with case weigh 1 lb 10.1 oz or 742 grams. The SCOKC monocular with case weighs 4 ounces or 114 grams (they say 90 grams without the case). So I save 1lb 6oz by wearing this monocular…

This is exactly what I've wanted for years. A compact pair of binoculars that perform well is well made with quality materials that won't break the bank. I've bought cheap miniature binoculars over the years but they didn't work properly. The problem is that the good ones aren't compact enough and the compact ones aren't good enough. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered them, but the list was definitely encouraging. So I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the packaging and found a very…
