Carson 6x18 MiniMight Compact Monocular with Carabiner Clip – Lightweight, Portable and Durable Pocket Scope for Hiking, Birdwatching and Travel(MM-618)

Not something you would buy for serious birdwatching or astronomy but if you want something for occasional use that you can carry and hardly notice and which gives a good view at a reasonable price this is fine. I do have a tiny Pentax 10x18 binocular of comparable size but trying to hold such a small, light item of this magnification still is a nightmare. 6x seems like a good compromise.

I was looking for a compact monocular to fit in my everyday outdoor waist pouch, and they don't come much more compact than this.First impressions - the 6* magnification is good quality and gives a sharp image. The downside is that the field of vision is quite tight, but that's expected in a scope this tiny. It's tricky (but not impossible) to adjust the focus one-handed, I suspect this will become easier with use.My main reservation is the lack of lens caps. While the monocular does come with a lightly padded case, it feels too big and won't product the lenses from dust. I plan to make a leather case with caps built in but obviously that won't be an option for everyone.On the whole however I think this is great for the price, the monocular itself is good quality and I can see myself getting a lot of use from it as it's so portable.

Excellent little monocular.

Good item no magnified enough for my needs

Cracking little piece of kit, definitely worth the £20 I paid for it.

Great little monocular.Very light, you can attach it to your belt and hardly notice it.Easy to focus,.Though it is listed as only six times magnification, it allows you to see so much more then with the naked eye.Excellent value for money.

does what it says on the tin. good quality for the price.

I am patyially sighted and I use these to play bowls.I would not be able to see well enough to play without this sort of help,thanks.
