very light and small

I've used it several times

I use it for ski touring so its nice to have one so compact and lightweight. It's easy to focus and comes with a case.

simple, functional

I wanted a simple momocular for when I am out on bike trails. I was always finding myself being curious about things I could barely make out in the distance. Now I will be able to get a slightly better look at them! This isn't the fanciest of monoculars but was perfect for what I wanted and affordable!

Definitely a Goatworthy bring-along!

The Brunton Echo Pocketscope 7x18 is one of those products every backpacker, cyclist, hiker, hunter, paddler and everyday adventurer should consider. Unless you possess the powers of Superman or The Six Million Dollar Man, everyone likes to see further than we do. The Brunton Echo Pocketscope provides that opportunity! Much is debated about binocular vs monocular, but the bottomline for those outdoorpersons mentioned above is the thought of bringing binoculars along are usually tossed aside because of size, weight or both. At a featherweight 1.8 oz...weight isn’t a valid excuse...and being no larger than a Hostess Ho-Ho...size can’t be an excuse either. And who doesnt want to see something 7 times closer than the naked eye? I was given the opportunity to receive and review the Brunton Echo Pocketscope for theDyrt and I am a believer. I brought it everywhere and often forgot I had it because of its diminutive size and light weight. Oftentimes dropping it into my pants pocket or holding it between two fingers. Images are crisp and clear, subject matter acquisition was quick...and once dialed to my eye, the diopter ring stayed focused. Brunton’s warranty promise ranks high and the Echo price is low...so reward yourself and see what you’ve been missing!

A nice monocular.

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

I gave this as a gift to my niece along with some bird identification literature. The scope is nice and light. Also it is easier to use than binoculars, just point it towards the object and with little effort, there it is. I recommend this product.

This is a basic monocular that I keep in my pack for getting a closer look at mountain features and snow. Super lightweight and small.

Really compact and soo light ... it weights nothing to be honest . Optics are prety good , with a little practice you can even adjust focus with one hand , great product.

Great Monocular For the Price

Are you looking for a solid monocular to help you spot lines backcountry skiing or pinpoint hiking and climbing routes in Alpine conditions? Look no further! This Brunton monocular is an economical but solid option for those who are looking to save weight or cash instead of buying an expensive bulky set of binoculars. The field of vision is solid for this monocular and as the product info says objects 700 yards away are easily visible (appearing to be 100 yrds away). The eye relief takes some getting used to but is easily adjustable after using it a few times. I highly suggest this to anyone looking for an inexpensive starter monocular! Please feel free to reach out if you have additional questions. 801-204-4533

I love this little thing. It's so cute and handy. I've used it to check out birds, mountain slopes, even reading the little subway maps on the T. It's a great little tool I always bring on nature walks.

Absolutely worth having on any trip. I have 20/15 vision and the optics on this are clear. The unit is light. If you see something in the distance but cant quite make it out, this will give you the edge.

Event Horizon

compact lightweight but...

OK for scouting the area a little more up close, but the magnifying is really not very high, but for this price you cannot really complain.

dqt

Not worth it

The magnificiation provided by this scope is not appreciably greater than what I can see with my unaided eye. I am returning it.

Good but...

Just watch exposing the monocular to really high temperatures. While in Afghanistan I left it exposed to some extreme heat and it started rattling (I think some of the glues started softening). So I took it apart to see if I could re-apply some glue where needed and all I really accomplished was getting lots of dust specs all over each of the lens elements lol. Good, cheap, little, light monocular though- I bought another at a great sale price.

Justin H

so far so good

Bought this as it's tiny and wanted something small to take with me for Peace Corps. I'll know more in a few weeks when I get to use it in the field, but so far, all my home use is good. IT comes with a tiny soft case and lanyard.

Brunton Monocular

Size, feel, weight and performance exactly as described on web site. Used it for skiing and mountain biking two days in a row with great satisfaction. Can't attest to longevity as I just received it. Just what you need for spotting the bad guys (Jack Bauer). Son in law was so jealous my daughter is getting him one.
