The concept of a compact monocular with high magnification is great. However in reality, the field of view is so small at 30x that is is nearly impossible to find what you're looking for. Though it you're using it at the lower magnifications it works well. The same issues hold true with the brightness at high magnifications. Since the objective lens is so small (it is a compact monocular) there's not much light coming in.
That being said, it's a great tool to have on hand and doesn't take up much space. Though if you don't mind a bigger size, spend the money on compact binoculars or toward a larger monocular.

This product is about what I expected for the price. The function seems fine, but a zoom of 10-30 power really requires a lot of light to see. The 21mm lens provides adequate light at 10 power, but there is insufficient light on a cloudy day for the view to be useful at 30 power. This may be okay for bright sunny days, but for lower light, spend the money to get a bigger lens.

Bought this to look at geese and other animals around our pond from our house and this works perfectly.

It is advertised well but it doesn't measure up. It won't focus. I sent it back.

As a geologist, the ability to observe details across a 200' ravines/gorges without actually crossing saves time and keeps your boots dry. The Brunton Echo is a solid value priced instrument for those looking for light weight and decent optics.
The Good:
The 10x-30x magnification allows you to zoom into a stationary object. The field of view shrinks dramatically at 30x, so moving objects would be tough to locate/maintain in FOV.
Its lightweight at 3.3 oz and easily fits into side pockets.
The coated BaK-4 Prism Glass Lenses are a good feature for the price.
The tripod/monopod mounting feature is another plus for making field observations. I was able to use the same staff that mounts my compass.
The "Could Be Better":
The lanyard would be better if it was large enough to fit over the neck. I have little use for a bracelet style lanyard.
The end caps are another slight negative. They only include the eyepiece cover and it can be a challenge to keep from losing.
Overall, good value for the money with some well-thought out features.
