Authentic ROXANT Grip Scope High Definition Wide View Monoculars for Adults High Powered - with Retractable Eyepiece & Fully Multi Coated Optical Glass Lens + Bak4 Prism - Monocular Telescope Black

I've found that the 10 ft focus distance allows me to read the YouTube descriptions and the closed captions on the videos from my bed while settling down for sleep. My Roku TV's automatic shut off allows me to set up a half hour of video and quickly start my sleeping routine. The optics are clear and the magnification is good for spotting golf balls after being hit from the tee. I intend to get good use from this monocular. Very satisfied.

This Roxant monocular is a perfect addition to my survival collection. Sure, you can see the equivalent of 10 city blocks away from a good vantage point, but with this, you can see much more detail. I took it to the window to look about 1/4 mile away, and was able to clearly read the writing on storefront property doors, such as suite #'s, see the edges of the buildings and the areas on the sides and behind them with much more clarity as well. Basically, it's not supposed to magnify the expression on someone's face, though it is clear enough to see whether or not they're smiling! But the point of this, for me anyways, is to be able to clearly identify activity, to clearly see and identify movement, and with this monocular, i will be able to survey any location from a safe distance prior to entering the area.There's a con though! The little bag this comes in is a good bag, granted. My issue with it though is that it's not padded at all. It's just the thin material of the bag protecting the lenses, both of them. I tell you that if you drop this while it's in the carry case and either side of it hits the ground on top of a lucky raised up and pointy object, it will probably be damaged. So i cut out two 1 1/2" X 12" strips from a Life cereal box and thoroughly electrical taped them together to form one longer, circular protective covering. If you do it right, you can fit the monocular inside of the thin long piece of cardboard and stretch it around it very taut. Then, keep it in that shape and push the monocular out of it, secure the cardboard that way, then complete the tape wrap & it will be perfect. Bend it this way and that and in about 20 minutes, you'll have a very, very tough circle of protection that you can squeeze the monocular into. Then you can take the included cleaning cloth and slide it into the side of the monocular's new protective housing, connect the included strap to the loop that the monocular is fitted with, tuck that into the side of the housing, and it's all done. Then, stuff it back into the carry case and throw it against the wall or out the window if you want, it will hold up to anything except a deliberate and very heavy crushing.I'm sure there are other ways, i tried using a thin strip of towel, even squares to cover the lenses, but this ended up being absolutely the perfect protection because it is thin enough to fit inside the bag and certainly tough enough to keep it from giving if it lands vertically on either side (sides as in where the lenses are).Lastly, the adjustable eye piece is perfect because it truly helps with clearing up the picture. Take advantage of it! I couldn't have asked for a more professional device with which to survey areas from afar. If SEHTF, my little girl and me won't ever be walking into any situation which could have been avoided simply by paying $40 for an awesome monocular that is super-compact.Buy it, you won't regret it. Not for this price and for the amount of zoom that it provides. If you're looking to have power-vision with a monocular, don't complain about this product. Go spend a thousand dollars and you'll barely accomplish a better result.

I have been enjoying the scope so far. I will be using it for hunting this season because I travel many miles in a typical hunting day and do not like to carry the bulk and weight of my binoculars. Thus, I began shopping around for a lightweight monocular to use during those long days. I stumbled upon the Roxant and decided to give it a try. It's the perfect weight and size for a hunting hand held optic. The clarity is acceptable especially for the price and the focus ring works well. My concerns are its water resistance. Any good field optic should be waterproof rather than water resistant. The average home user would not need to use a lightweight monocular because they would not be carrying it for long periods of time. They would also not need a waterproof optic; it is the field user that the monocular appeals to due to its minimalist size and weight. As I said, field use requires waterproof qualities. Another key element with the monocular is its ability to be used with one hand. Binoculars CAN be used with one hand and focused with the same, but they are difficult to stabilize and steady in order to get a clear picture (as well as heavier). The monocular's inherent design is made for using and stabilizing with one hand. The focus ring on the Roxant can be used with one hand, but it would be far easier if there was an elevated piece of plastic (like a square knob or protrusion) that came out from the ring and allowed the user to utilize the strength of their thumb to adjust the focus. The leverage of the knob and the thumb would make it far easier to manipulate the scope's focus. Realize that a hunter will almost always be holding something else in their hand: a bow, a rifle, a shotgun, a walking stick, the side of a mountain, etc. Easier one handed manipulation would be key. The last suggestion I have would be a bit higher magnification. I realize that lowers the field of view in a scope, but I really believe most people using this scope will be more focused on a singular target rather than a wide landscape. For example, counting the points on a deer's antlers, watching a bald eagle perched high up in a tree, counting the number of turkeys in a field one at a time. This is where this scope could excel. All that being said, its a fine scope and at an even better price point and I look forward to using it this coming season.
