While monoculars are not for everyone, these Occer 10X42’s are tremendously competitive against their more expensive, ‘brand’ name competitors. With superbly crisp and clear optics – stemming in part from their BAK4 prisms, rather than the more common and cheaper BAK7 competitors - quality design, materials and construction, the Occer 10X42 monocular was one of my better purchases. Optical devices, monoculars and binoculars, are not tools you use every day, but when you use them you rely upon consistent quality and convenience. With these, not only do you get the case and lanyard, but standard features include lens caps – one permanently strapped to the forward lens – and particularly notable is the ‘universal’ tripod mount, making them particularly useful in spotting on a KD range or traversing when your subject is moving. An additional ‘real’ feature is that they also can, with an optional device, be used in conjunction with a smartphone, capturing neat close-up pictures beyond the phone’s zoom capability. Too, I find these more helpful on my boat in checking who is fishing where and what they are catching on our 250 acre lake. While virtually all optical devices are only as steady as the hand holding them, I find I can easily and clearly read license plates at over 100 yards. At first a little confusing (In part because their literature hasn’t yet been refined and targeted to the US market) was the focusing procedure – besides having the top mounted rotary knob for adjusting for distance, these have ‘two’ rotary focus eyepiece rings. But, be not afraid, with a little practice they perform well and conveniently. The only drawback for me is in watching our turkey vultures, soaring beautifully like eagles, who, close-up, are truly ugly birds. Would I buy them again? You bet!
I had never owned a monocular, but I purchased this Occer 10x42 optic for a friend who can only see good out of one eye. He received it as a birthday gift and was very excited to have this monocular rather than a pair of binoculars for hiking, scenic beauty and bird watching. I was impressed by the clarity of these optics as is he.
I was a little hesitant to order this product. A 10X42 Monocular for under $20..00 I had second thoughts. I did however order the product and I was very surprised of the quality and clarity of this "mini telescope." Once you get use to adjusting your eye to the view it is very easy to use. Why do I say this, if your eye is too close or to far from the eyes piece all you see is black. With a few adjustments this issue is resolved. Instructions very basic not much info...only to moveable parts focus knob on top of the monocular and the eye piece adjustment you must adjust the two to get rid of the black view. Absolutely a great value for $20.00. I am a stargazer and just to have something small and easy to spot something quickly in the night sky has enhanced my stargazing experience. I also got it to use when I hear something at night or if my neighbor's dog is barking (a very good dog by the way, only barks when he see's someone) looking out the window at night your eyes can play tricks on you, "is there someone by that car or is someone moving in the shadows", with this monocular you can easily see what is going on at night.
This monocular is really handy. I've used it at concerts and when I take my kids to the wetlands to check out all the animals. They work quite well with a pretty clear view. I found these easier to see through with my glasses on that my compact binoculars. Good buy!
I bought each of my 4 grandchildren one of these (ages 3-17) and even the 3 year old can focus it. They all loved them and I bought myself one and also love it. So easy to focus compared to binoculars or the 3 other type monoculars I have. And focuses so quickly too. A friend used mine at the beach and is ordering one for her daughter. Today I bought 3 more, one to share with friends so I don't have to keep handing them mine and being without while they are enjoying the views and the other 2 for future gifts. So easy to pack for travel due to their size and light weight. I definitely recommend these for young and old. I have a butterfly garden and bird feeders and they come in so handy to view them.

SINGLE HAND USE,MULTI-USE MONOCULAR
The 10x42 monocular with dual focus that is very easy to use.It has low night vision that can be used for night with some light,such as concert and stargazing.Furthermore,This telescope is also suitable for camping, fishing, hiking, sporting events, bird watching and travelling etc.
It is a easy to handle and adjust the magnification for precise viewing.
The field of view was excellent.
It appears to be well-designed and sturdy. If dropped from eye level or lower will probably suffer no damage.
I do not like that the lens cover for the eyepiece is attached to the monocular by a hand strap that is secured by using the threads normally used for a tripod. If a tripod is used, the hand strap must be removed thus losing the security of the hand strap and potentially losing the hand strap and attached screw.
The cover for the large lens is attached via a rubber hinge. Although better than the eyepiece lens cover, it wear over time and be rendered useless.
The user manual's English translation is a bit off. For example, it states "Eyepiece rotary parts can be compensated more precise focusing. This could be better translated to Eyepiece rotary parts can be adjusted for more precise focusing.
I live on a large lake in South Carolina, and often meet friends at the many islands for beach-ups. This monocular has proven to be very effective in finding the numbers of the islands at a considerable distance. I also use it in the evening, along with a spotlight, to navigate the waters. My favorite feature is the one-handed use and focus. I have binoculars, but they are difficult to unpack and hold while driving. An unexpected bonus was the pouch that was packed with the monocular. I read that while the one eyepiece cover is not attached, I can put that cover in the pouch, and I'm confident I'll hold onto it. This is my first Occer product, and I am pleased and impressed.
What a fantastic gadget. It has great up close zoom in power. I wouldn’t use it for trying to see someone on the Hollywood sign from town.... but I would use it bird watching. It is however a little obnoxious only looking out of one eye, I am not a pirate. But I received this free for my honest opinion and I think it’s a great little piece for the money.
Worth the price of admission, very good optic for the price, and works just as good or better than its competitors. Having the adjuster under the index finger is awesome, very quickly adjust focus. The glass is decent, for the price the quality is good.would recommend to anyone who needs an monocular.
I have been looking for a monocular to help me read small numbers from 10-50 feet away for my job. I work in large facilities with elevated equipment that is hard to reach, but I need to know the numbering on the machines in order to collect my data an make decisions. Since buying this, I have dramatically increased my efficiency at work. I tried a couple before this but none could focus to the clarity level I get with this monocular. It is slightly bigger than I originally wanted (around 4-5 inches), but I found I actually like that. It is easier to stabilize at longer distances. The small adjusting nob on the top is very helpful as well when I want to quickly scope in on something I need to see very clearly. It is decent quality and definitely feels more expensive than it is. Would absolutely recommend. Could see it being good for nature watching as well.
