BOOMIBOO 10X42 Monoculars for Adults High Powered, FMC Multi-Layer Coated Lenses & BAK4 Prism with Smartphone Holder & Tripod, Compact Telescope for Camping Hiking Bird Watching

Bought this for my Girlfriend she seems to like it good price and fast shipping

Poor quality…Image is not clear

Very impressive quality for under $10.

AWFUL OPTICS... EXTREMLY HARD TO USE... IT DOESN'T WORTH IT

You get what you paid for .

Shallow DoF makes focus fiddly. Quite a bit of fisheye distortion depending on how close/far your eye is to the lens eyepiece. Nice size, armoured body. Lens caps. Phone holder & tripod are mostly useless

I have a very expensive Monocular that is great for very long distance navigation, sighting etc but the field of view is very small at 12x50 that for general scenery and navigation on protected waters, viewing scenery etc, I ordered the Boomiboo Monocular (I guess they call it a telescope, fair enough) at 10x42 and it's much better for seeing a larger field of view. A quick guess is at 100 yards the 10x50 gives you a 25 foot circle of view, these 10x42 give you more like a 50 foot circle which means it's easier to use surrounding scenery or objects to find your target. This Monocular at 10X42 is the standard for outdoor Binoculars in general, my 10x50 is a more specialized tool and really needs to be mounted on a tripod. I will be keeping these in my Harley for scene checking and on the boat for navigation. I will save the 12x50 for mounting to the phone during more controlled situations for photography, recording, on the big tripod. If you are looking for optics for outdoors and if you are still confused about the numbers. Most folks will be best off with a 10x40 or 10x42 once they are looking out past the close up bird watching range. Opera glasses or kids binoculars for bug hunting and bird watching might be more like 8x25 just to give a comparison.That being said, I am pretty impressed with the lenses and build of these and they are almost identical to the expensive pair except they are a little lighter material, not as much drop protection, and tripod and mounts are all plastic where with the more expensive model they are metal reinforced. All in all, this is a good "Telescope" for outdoor sports, scenery, navigation, tracking and hunting, rescue, etc. At less than 20 dollars you absolutely can't go wrong.I say this is a more than good deal for the money. My other pair cost me three times as much and I can't see any difference in the lenses or the technology. Was going to go four stars because one of the tabs is glued on crooked and I am going to have to fill it in to make it waterproof, but five stars because I think this tool will hold up fine and do everything I need it to do. Recommend for folks who enjoy the outdoors.

This is one of 18 monoculars I bought recently for a comparison video. And it's one of several of this style I tested, which seems to be very popular right now. This was the lightest - and seemingly poorest quality - of this style scope I tested. It feels almost insubstantial, weight-wise, and the eye cup turns roughly to extend. The attachment peg for the wrist strap also arrived nearly detached. But the focusing rings turn smoothly, and the optics perform pretty well. At less than $10, it's a fairly good value.
