Review on πŸ”­ 12X50 High Power DOTSOG Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder - Perfect for Bird Watching, Hunting, Camping, Travelling, and Wildlife Observation by Jacob Richmond

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Inaccurate magnification and lens size

I returned this monocular. The website and the instrument itself says 40x60, which means 40x magnification and a 60x lens. I looked through my 10x binoculars and compared it to a unit and that unit was actually a bit smaller so 8x or 10x max. I measured the lens and it's 40mm not 60mm. The part number on the box was 1040, so I tend to think the part number reflects the actual specs of the monocular. I am extremely disappointed. The device itself seemed pretty good, except the specs were completely wrong. It was light and the compass seemed accurate. It was also a simple trick. I haven't tested the water resistance, so I can't rate this feature.

Pros

Ordered 12x50. Received 8x40 instead. Wrong set of instructions.
