 Written on June 17, 2008 Summary: light but not very powerful Well Bought it to spy on neighbours! jk actually I got it for camping to see birds and deers. The reason I wanted small is it was for hiking. It is really small and very light. but very very less powerful. I mean i dont bother taking out. my cellphone has a 5 x zoom on it and it is like 3 times better than this one. Its a great toy. Not for a person who actually wants to use it to see far away objects. A shot of what you can see without this and with this at 100 yards away would show that its useless. like I tested it out in a parking lot and well it did help to read plates of cars standing 2 lines further than what i cud read. BUT again this is not impressive. this is like a match when you need a maglight. very very weak.  Written on June 5, 2008 Summary: Wow! Best deal I have gotten for the money in a l-o-n-g time. Great deal. Very good quality for the price. Saw this one on the National Geographic site (for about double the price), used Google to get more info, and checked Amazon and eagerly ordered two of them. Not difficult to make that decision. Very, very satisfied. Ordered two of these - one for me, and one for my wife for "mother's day" - just as a nice thing for her because she likes flowers and birdwatching and it'll just disappear in her purse (a good thing - she won't complain about taking up too much space). Told her it was one the Jack Bauer used. Told the same thing to a Chinese friend (who I lent mine to to try it out - since he had just ordered a large pair of binos from Nikon for mucho money) and he asked with a sly, faintly sarcastic smile, "is this the *same one* that Jack actually held in the show?" "uh, no, just the same brand and model." Very smart and savvy guy - good sense of humor. Told him that a couple folks here said theirs fell apart with just a light bump, so he said he would volunteer to test that aspect for me. Suggested that would not be what I'd like him to test. :) (Came back from him in perfect shape, as expected - no problem.) (He liked it.) Looking forward to putting this in front of a small digital camera or cell phone to try out as a telephoto lens. Trying to get *any* inexpensive monocular in Columbia, MO is a never-ending aggravating exercise in futility - been trying off-and-on for years. Never could find a cheap small pair of binos that I could tear apart into two monos. Does everyone *have* to have binos? Is it too much trouble to just shut one eye? Twice the space, twice the weight and twice the money for a little comfort? 3D vision (as an excuse) IMHO - there is almost no meaningful depth perception at binocular distances. Unless you can get those objective lenses *way* apart. (Sorry - I'll stop ranting.) These might make terrific Christmas and birthday presents for some friends. Written on April 19, 2008 Summary: Great little monocular for the money I was looking for an alternative to Nikon's excellent 5X and 7X High Grade Monoculars when I found the Brunton Echo 7X18 Pocket Scope. The Nikon units go for $200+ and are worth the price for "pro-level" super-close focus, low flare, crisp images. Nikon 5x15 High Grade Monocular But for $30 the Brunton EchoBrunton Echo 7x18 Pocket Scope is a "must have" for casual field trips. The Brunton's optics are good and the 13 inch close focus works great for observing fine detail on insects, plants, etc. For long-term serious use Nikon's high end stuff is hard to beat. But for $30, Brunton's little Pocket Scope does the job quite well. Written on April 7, 2008 Summary: Bruton Echo Monocular Great product. Near focus of 18" is even better than the Sharper Image CN306 (15 feet) allows me to use it for watching those miniscule presentations - especially computer screens. Good for my motorcycle trail rides too. Bargain at $20. I bought two! Written on March 29, 2008 Summary: No wonder Jack Bauer uses this! I admit I really picked this model and brand because it is the same model as the one Jack Bauer uses on 24. Well I didn't use it to stop any terrorists, nor save the US in an epic way, but for my uses this thing is great. It's small enough to always slip into a pocket or a back pack, and the focus is crisp and clear. At night, the monocular is a little dim, it's simply too small to allow much light in. For simplicity, ease of use and quality of optics, I give this 4 stars out of 5. Great price too! |
