I've read through some of the comments to see what this thing is like - not that good by the sounds of it. I've used a monocular of some sort for a long time. The one I have now I can recommend, if anyone is interested, but it costs a lot more and is about a third smaller and is 5 x 15mm magnification. The magnification is actually really good. I have a good quality but large set of 12x50mm binos, and I think the 5 x 15mm compares well. I have to hold it off my head for eye relief - I do this easily by holding my finger on the near edge of the monocular and my forehead. This also makes it more steady. But, it was about US$80 - $90.
This is good ( I don't have one ) but to be better it needs to have it designed so it can hang on a lanyard around your neck. If I'm canoeing ,I'd hate to accidentally drop it in the water.I'm sure that if that idea was included the sales would skyrocket.
GlennBoydUnless mine was somehow different, the Brunton monocular I had years ago had a lanyard attachment. I'd confirm this if someone didn't steal it out of my car 2 years ago.

GlennBoydHow do you know it's good if you don't have it?
chuggerYeah I've learned that since posting the comment!
Thanks for the further clarification it helps a lot.
(Edit: The original link he had posted was much longer, that's likely where my confusion came from)
Cheers mate!
I have one of these, and I like it -I would recommend for backpacking or some other lightweight, basic use where you aren't expecting amazing magnification.
I bought mine for backpacking trips - where I wanted a little magnification but didn't want to carry much weight. I think it served pretty well for those purposes. However, I should note that it is water-resistant, but not water-proof. I still have mine, but the optics have never been quite the same since I took a swim in the Yellowstone river, and forgot that I had it in my pocket. Since, I picked up another monocular with a little more magnification, but my new one weighs just a little more as well.
I'd rather pay a couple dollars more than Massdrop if able to get the product in less than the two months it takes Massdrop to get products to customers.
