Eyeskey HD 10-30x50 High Powered Zoom Monocular Telescope - Waterproof and Fog-proof - Bright and Clear FMC Lens - Coated Bak-4 Prism - Single Hand Focus Scope for Concert, Traveling, Wildlife Scenery

Simply well made, solid, and good for the price. Above say 15X zoom you'd probably want a tripod or just use your elbows to brace the scope and limit shake. Great for nature, mountaineering, and viewing the moon. Love it!

First, the monocular itself earns a 4.5 star in my book. Very clear, crisp picture on the low end, and some loss of light transmission on the high end but not terrible. I actually used it on a hunt at twilight, and the low light quality was genuinely impressive at 10x. This is my new favorite hunting optic. It does weigh around a pound, and is 7 or 8 inches long, but it still fits in a cargo pocket comfortably and the weight is manageable for the capabilities it gives you. As far as the tripod...well its garbage, would probably be fine for spotting scope duty on a solid flat surface, but that's it. And I'm case you have read some of the lower reviews talking about the shake at the higher powers, those are individuals lacking in common sense. EVERY optic that is that high in magnification will have shake because YOU are shaking. The higher the magnification, the more this is emphasized in the image. Personally, I plan to get one of the flexible claw type tripods to use with this optic. I think it's versitile will compliment the eyeskey nicely.

This monocular is well made and appears to be quite durable. We were able to quickly focus with one hand and see very clearly at long distances. It was very easy to use and fairly easy to take along with the provided case. The tripod proved to be pretty much useless.

The quality of this item is not great, but it's not terrible. It's a good deal for the price. You get what you pay for. It is fairly sturdy, so if you take care of it it should last you a while. If you get it for a child- not so much. I would not recommend it for a younger child- maybe a teenager.

This monocular costs more than many, but when I used it last night to look at Jupiter and to find its moons, I was pleasantly surprised. For objects like the moon or Jupiter, the higher power options make a big difference. Being able to spot the Galilean moons so close to the planet was very satisfying. And the 50mm objective lens really helps with astro targets. Just be aware that when looking for things in the sky, a photo tripod makes a world of difference -- the view is too shaky above 10-12 power. Have also found that Orion's Precision Slow Motion adapter helps immensely at higher powers. Finally, one caveat -- when looking for things near the zenith, monoculars really don't work well, the angle is just too awkward unless you can lie down and find a way to stabilize the monocular above you. That's when a telescope with diagonal or a reflecting telescope make a big difference. The biggest advantage of monoculars like these over basic astro scopes is their extreme portability. You can pack this in a jacket pocket, a pocket tripod in another pocket --- and you're virtually set. If you're going on a long hike somewhere, bringing one of these along is not hard to do.

This is one awesome eyepiece I will love it I have a few different ones but this is the one for me if you’re looking for something that will get it right near I bring it up close clear as can be I look out at the Monterey Bay I see the whales I see the boats it’s beautiful thank you for such a wonderful product ...mike

For the price this is very well built items. Its not perfect at 30x it suffers from significant chromatic aberration. If better Abbe Prism is used and Optics can be improved in updated versions of this product, it maybe a perfect monocular for its price.
