This review is from: Alpen Green Rubber Covered Monocular (Sports)

Very nice unit. Smooth twist focus allows you to tune right in on object. Lightweight, small and feels durable. Debated on getting the same but in 10x but a little hesitant that it might require a little too steady of a hand to stay on the object. Use it for bird watching from 10-30' away. Exceptional value.

Price was right so I bought two. First one worked as advertised but the second one broke (no focus) after just a few uses. Using the lifetime warranty would have cost me more than the two monoculars cost. So now I have one and my fingers crossed.
