A monocular is a small scope for one eye. It weighs little and fits in your coat pocket. Yet you see far with it, with a clear and sharp image. So you always have a scope with you, on a walk, when birdwatching or on a trip.
Why a monocular instead of binoculars?
Binoculars are bigger and heavier. This small scope takes up far less space. Because of that, you take it along even when you do not feel like carrying much. You pick it up with one hand, take a look and put it away again. Moreover, the lenses are of good quality. Thanks to the coating, the image stays bright and full of contrast, even in low light.
You can even look in the dark. That is why this collection also holds night vision scopes from AGM and SiOnyx. They let you see animals when night has already come.
What should you look for?
First, look at the magnification. You find it in the name, for example 10 x 25. The first number is the magnification, the second the size of the lens. A bigger lens lets in more light. Also check the weight if you walk a lot. You barely feel a small model, such as the Konusmall from Konus. Finally, do you also want a compass? The Noblex NM 7x42 C has one built in.
