Summary: Every Hiker should have one! Nephews love it.
Comment: I buy these several at a time as gifts for friends and family. Use it to look at wildflowers without bending over. Close focus provides an insect's eye view. It also serves as a field lens for looking at rocks. Amazing! I have several in various cars, backpacks and around the house.

Summary: Great inexpensive little scope
Comment: This is a great little scope for it's price. Decent optics and great focal distance make this good for a huge variety of applications, from birding to identifying bugs, and it's small size makes it easy to carry around in a pocket when you don't want to lug around something larger. The ends are rubber, allowing it to survive being dropped (but I wouldn't recommend testing that). I carry this thing everywhere I go, and for the price, there's no reason not to. (Certainly better than worrying about breaking my $200 binoculars!) Comes with a nice padded nylon belt pouch, nylon wrist strap, and a small cleaning cloth.
Customer Rating: Summary: Eh, it's ok.
Comment: I must need to cut back on the coffee because I can't really see anything with this due to everything bouncing around. I do appreciate it's small size and relative affordability, but I'm questioning whether or not I'll ever get any good use out of it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Jack Bauer's great little pocket telescope
Comment: I looked this up after I saw it being used by Kiefer Sutherland on 24. I'm very pleased with it. For a pocket scope it's very powerful and best of all, it has a very sharp image. I have two or three other pocket scopes, but this is the best.
For a pocket microscope my favorite is the one from the Discovery Store. For a pocket scale, try the 600gm digital sleek portable scale from Half Baked Goods.
Customer Rating: Summary: Very frustrating to rotate to focus
Comment: The only two good things about this monocular is its low price, and that it looks good from outside. It is very very frustrating and irritating to focus it, because the focus control is very tight to rotate, and jerkier in rotation... not at all smooth, like in Zeiss monocular, or Nikon binocular that I bought also. After I can get to focus it, it does display things fine. But the thing is that the rotation for focus HAS TO BE smooth, since while viewing things, there are other things to worry about - like finding the object to view, and keeping monocular steady.
I was planning to gift this, but since I myself am finding is very tight to rotate, I am not sure I want to gift this. Second, with the S/H involved to return it, I would not be left with much money back... so, I may not even return it. I probably would end up gifting it to someone who has not yet started appreciating the need for slickness in life.
