Satisfactory monocular March 23, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This product met my expectations for a monocular priced under $30, except the close focus wasn't quite as close as advertised. Instead of 13 inches, it is more like 15-16 inches, but it focuses very smoothly and is free of major defects or optical aberrations.
For Looking Into My Aquarium January 10, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I purchased this Brunton Pocket Scope for the purpose of looking into my micro reef aquarium to see with more detail the tiny creatures inside. It works reasonably well for this purpose, and certainly better than probably all other pocket scopes on the market since it has a near focus of 13 inches. Of course, to maintain focus at such close range, you need to be quite still. There is an aquarium specific product that I suspect works much better, but it costs around $400 (if I remember correctly). Considering it costs less than $25 here at Amazon, the Brunton earns 3.5 to 4 stars.
 Cheap, but not without virtue October 17, 2005

This is just the kind of thing to send a kid off to camp with. Enough power to look at birds and deer and such, but because of the close focus, the best use is to watch bees on flowers, flies on the wall, and bugs/worms on the ground and in ponds/puddles. Perfect for budding entomologists.
Of course, the optics aren't top-drawer, but they're OK for the price.
EDIT and CAVEAT: They are so compact that it's easy to forget them in a jacket pocket...and then toss the jacket into the washing machine. Oops.
