    Great (but shaky) image. Bigger than expected.

    Great (but shaky) image. Bigger than expected.
    I just got this for a trip to Yellowstone. I read the specs but still was a bit surprised by the size. It's about the size of a soda can, but a little taller and thinner. The carrying case is also a bit larger than expected. As others noted, eyepiece cover does not have a lanyard, but there is a hole for one. Lens cover has a lanyard.The image is very clear and I'm happy with the magnification. But at 12x, like others have said, the image is shaky and it is hard to keep you hand that still. The tripod is sturdier than expected but not very useful. Small and when attached it keeps wanting to tip forward on its nose. Only 4 stars for bulk and tripod, but I'd still buy again. Worth it. Note it does not have zoom. Fixed mag, but you can still focus on objects near and far very easily.I paired it with a Gosky universal phone adapter and have been having fun snapping some shots with my iPhone 6. Slo-mo video of hummingbird feeder was awesome! That was taken from about 30-40 feet away. Can't wait to try it out in the mountains and on the trail.UPDATE: just noticed there is either a small defect or piece of dust in the lens. Uploaded two different pictures that show the same small dark spot up around 10 o'clock on the image. Tried cleaning with cloth provided, but didn't help. I'll have to see how annoying this becomes and if rating needs to be downgraded.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent optic
    Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016
    I bought this monocular for work. I am a meter reader for the gas company and I read some
    Meters around 50-65 yards away. Yes I said that right. This did the job fantastically. Before I could barely see the dials at that distance and couldn't read them. Now they are crystal clear and the 50mm lens lets in the right amount of light. The glass is very clear and has a good size to view things. I have also used it for looking at wildlife and it didn't disappoint. The adjustment is very easy with one hand. And the eyepiece extends which is nice. The case that came with it is very nice as well. Also the cleaning cloth is a nice touch. The outside has a nice rubber covering which would really help if it were dropped. Which I will do I am sure. The front has a flip up eye piece to protect the front lense. The back however doesn't connect so you have to take it off and store it. Also, this is a great size. I can fit it in my back jeans pocket. Now it will stick out but not too far. Or you can use the included case. The tripod that came is very small. It doesn't have a pole to stand it up high. It is meant for sitting it on a table. So don't expect a regular tripod. But I think the little tripod is fine for looking at wildlife. Overall I am super happy I found this monocular. It was exactly what I was looking for. And the price is unheard of for something this good. If your looking for a great optic then look no further.
