I am a supervisor for a Meter Reading Department and the majority of our employees prefer this product over so many other monoculars we've used in the past. It has the best range from 7 to 32, the diameter of the scope is larger than most which makes for a greater viewing area. The only problem we've encountered with these monoculars is that they're not waterproof/resistant. When it rains moisture will get into the item if not careful. Other than that, its a great buy.

Very good Monocular and if you wear glasses it has great eye relief. It is a lot more convenient to carry than a set of binoculars , but it is larger than I expected

This would be a lovely monocular if it wasn't for a few critical flaws.
With the 32mm objective, it provides a very nice image, even for distant viewing. Much better than most other monoculars I've tried. That you can get a quality image with such a long focal range (18" to infinity) in this relatively small unit is to be applauded.
It comes at a cost, however.
There are actually two focusers on this scope. One for close-focus (roughly 16 feet and less), and one for distant. They're easy to confuse, plus you can't switch from one to the other without completely focusing all the way back. In other words, it's almost impossible to get a quick focus. When not in use, it's best-advised to keep the scope at its neutral state (focusing at roughly 16 feet), and then use the appropriate focuser when you need it: zoom in, or zoom out. (And hope you don't get them confused, because that will waste several seconds.) This can be awkward and frustrating, especially with nature studies.
If you expect that you will only use one focuser 90% of the time, then you will probably be delighted with this unit. But if you expect to frequently go back and forth between birds and insects, you'll find yourself wishing for something more elegant.
A nice feature is the tripod mount, which lends this scope extremely well to the capacity a desk-mounted spotting scope, for the office or living room. The tripod mount, however, is also where you attach the lanyard mount (it screws in), so they cannot be used concurrently. Also, attaching the neck strap to the tripod mount, as it were, is not the most comfortable set-up. It's sufficient, but it seems to swing around a lot. Alas, there's no other choice.
The eyecup also screws out, to accommodate users with glasses and without. Another nice feature you don't usually see in bargain optics.
This monocular was slightly larger than I expected, being roughly the size of a (tapered) soda can; not a downside for me, but something to report anyway.
The case and neck-strap are junk; they fell apart before receiving any actual use. I hope that doesn't reflect the built-quality of the scope itself.
I'm not as down on this monocular as it sounds -- it's currently my favorite for going into the field -- but it's not without its caveats. It works for now, but I would love to find something better and easier to use (without breaking the bank).

We bought a monocular to use as a geocaching tool. The key feature was the ability to focus on close items (18 inches). The product works very well and the optical quality for the price is excellent. It seems to be very solidly built. We have also taken the monocular on our mountain hikes and have been very pleased with its performance for bird and animal watching. Knocked a star off because it is not waterproof.
