20×50 Adult High Power Binoculars Telescope

I purchased this item for a hike/cruise excursion that I am going on later this year. My wife and I had fun in the front yard siting-in neighbors and cars on our street to test it. The image was very clear. In the past, with monoculars and binoculars alike, I am always asking myself the question of which magnification to bring on a trip. With these, I really enjoy the zoom feature that covers the 10x - 30x magnification range, and that the device is much lighter than I expected. This monocular will be very useful for trips by plane for these reasons...having a wide range of magnifications to choose from in a single, light-weight device. I also liked the price.

If one takes the time to learn how to properly use this glass, it works quite nicely. If you expect to zoom into the distances and get a clear picture, you need to get set for disappointment.

I took a chance on this item because of the reviews here on Amazon. I didn’t expect too much considering the price. I have to say, I’m more than pleased. It has really good image quality, great eye relief (I can use it with glasses), and appears to be solidly built. I plan to enjoy some wildlife viewing on my trip to the Everglades next month.



I wasn’t able to get it to come to focus initially and was ready to send it back 10 minutes after I received it. Then, I read the instructions. Didn’t think I needed to; I own several astronomical telescopes and binoculars from mini to giant. Wrong!! I missed one thing and that caused the problem. I mistook the twist-up eyecup for the focus ring. Once I read the instructions everything was fine and I was a happy camper. I have no reservations about recommending this item.

I bought this monocular because the description mentioned low light and easy to use if you wear glasses. I had purchased another monocular from another company which did not work well with glasses, but this one really does. I can see very well with my glasses on and it is powerful. Also, as indicated, the low light option really makes a difference in the early morning hours and at dusk. I use it in a deer blind and would certainly recommend it. Really good quality for the money.

Bought it to see bullet holes in shooting targets 100-200 yds out. Works fine for that purpose at a very reasonable price. Took a while to figure out how to use it - be patient! Instructions not well written as usual with value imports. But construction is of solid quality and lens picture more than acceptable.

For person saying it’s missing a screw - I don’t think it has one. The screw is part of a separate tripod- To use the lanyard - the small string part has to be worked through an opening at the top of the tripod port and then the larger lanyard part looped back through the small strings. You have to figure that out on your own because the instructions don’t mention it.

I’m pleased enough and would recommend it for a distance viewer.

EDIT: this is my first "monocular" and it took me awhile to figure out how to use it on the range. Best practice? set the distance to 10X - (turn the ring closest to the eyepiece end to where the little black arrow (its hard to see but it's one of the raised lines directly on the ring) points directly on 10X). Then use the lower ring to get that into clear focus. THEN go back and start to increase the magnification as far as you want by turning that upper ring towards 30X. doing that will probably distort the picture's focus but the adjustments using the lower end won't be that dramatic. The point is to start at 10X and work up from there. Just too hard to accomplish starting at 30. it actually works pretty darn well....

So far, I’ve used this monocular to look at birds and animals while hiking and have been impressed with how clear an image you get and with how easy it is to get it focused!



(It’s even been easy to adjust between 10x and 30x magnification and has needed surprisingly little adjustment)



It’s also very easy to carry. You can twist it up very compact and slip it in a coat pocket and it comes with a nice little carrying case.



One thing I will note, for anyone who’s like me and hasn’t used a monocular before. It is important to look at the directions :)



When I first took it out of the box and just tried to use it without bothering to read the directions, I couldn’t see anything - it was just fuzzy. Then, after seeing that it needed to be extended first and then that there was a handwheeel, suddenly it worked perfectly!



I’ve included pictures of the monocular next to a large mitten, just to give you a sense of how portable it is.

Compact but super powerful crystal clear view monocular for a serious hiker or an outdoor adventure seeker. For me it's always important to have handy binocular or monocular close by for exception viewing of nature and our oceans and mountains. Also great for birdwatching and sporting events.

Aurosports out did it with this very affordable monocular here. This is 10-30x40 means you can not just view the object bright and clear but also use the zoom feature. With my years of experiences with binoculars / monoculars I would like to suggest that if you go above anything more than seven power than it's better to use a tripod. Most people blame monocular but it's actually their hands /body movement (nothing wrong with the product) This monocular comes with tripod screw excellent built in feature. Please see all my pictures and decide it yourself.

Also I would like to point the fact that the objective lens is 40mm with a perfect 20mm ocular lens. Even when sun goes down you can have wonderful views because of the larger size of the Objective lens. It will take few times to get use to open the monocular perfectly but it is expected from such a wonderful product. Enjoy the sightseeing!!!

Please note: Tripod is not included but it goes amazing with any tripod. The zoom picture I took is only at 10 power. In one picture I am pointing at the Island and second picture is at 10 zoom power. It's my cell phone picture nothing fancy. Amazing right!

I used the monocular mainly for target spotting on the shooting range. The image is extremely clear, and the wide zoom range allows for easily finding the area of interest then zooming in to gather detail. It is almost essential to use a tripod at the 30x end of the zoom, as was expected. Overall quality is very good with no perceptible distortion or chromatic aberration, and the unit is easily packed in the included carry case for safe transport.

A couple of minor errors in describing and packing this new product: (1) It came with two hand straps, not the "neck strap" promised on Amazon. (2) The instructions showed an interesting attachment for using with a cellphone to form a long lens for distant photos. The attachment was not included, and there was no information on how to obtain one. (3) There are numerous translation errors in both the Amazon product description and the instructions included with the unit. These are amusing, but really should be corrected to make this a serious product.

First off, I would note that all of the negative reviews of this monocular reflect the writer's lack of knowledge of what optical specifications mean and/or the inability to use and adjust a scope for the optimum clarity.

This product is exactly as described for size, weight and power. The 40mm objective lens provides for a very good image in low light. The adjustable eyepiece is convenient for eye glass wearers. I was very impressed with the quality of the scope and optics at this price level. The body has a rubberized texture and knurled surfaces on the adjustment points. It feels solid and should hold up to minor abuse. although it is a little heavy, it is about the weight you would expect for it's size. I was able to zero in and get a sharp image with little fuss. Although one can view at 30x magnification with a minimal amount of shakiness, the ability to attach a tripod is helpful for extended viewing.

The monocular is easy to slip in a pocket or carry with the included lanyard. It comes with a case that has a belt loop attachment. It has lens covers although they do not have a tether attachment meaning they can be easily lost or misplaced.

You can do much better for a monocular if you're willing to spend more money. At $30 for this one though, you can't go wrong. You are getting a 40mm objective lens, BAK4 prism, fully coated lenses and lots of other useful features making it an ideal scope for all kinds of activities.
