4.0 out of 5 starsNice Monocular
By E. Hambre on January 7, 2007
Color: Brown Camo
I needed to replace my broken compact binoculars. I decided to get Tascos Essential 10x25 monocular as it would fit better on my belt. I use it everyday for work (I do house inspections) and find that it is very nice to use. The image is large and clear and I love its small size.

It is quite powerful, for closer viewing I find I sometimes have to mover farther away! The rubber coating is useful as I've already dropped it a couple of times but there is no damage to the monocular or the image! The only negative is the soft case you get. Putting the monocular back into the case is sometimes a chore. A hard case or stiffer material would be better, but overall I am quite pleased with this item!

4.0 out of 5 starsAcceptable For Quick Viewing
By Stephen on October 21, 2006
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I bought this monocular as a pocketable magnifier for traveling, and occasional bird/tree viewing.

I was surprised by the relatively good build quality, considering the price. The monocular is light, but has a good "feel"-not cheap.

I do agree with other viewers that a 10X magnification makes "hand-shake" an issue.

The fully magnified viewing field is also narrow, so don't expect a wide, binocular-like viewing field of the object you're observing.

Still, for quick glimpses of objects, this monocular is ideal, the price is excellent, it's easy to carry, and the build quality is very good.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood for what it is but too powerful for some tasks
By Dave P on August 15, 2006
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I bought the Tasco 10x25 monocular as a lightweight alternative to binoculars that I could slip into my pocket. I have no complaints about the product - it is well made and lightweight.

I would suggest, though, that 10x is probably too powerful for most tasks. If I had to do it over again, I would go with an 8x or even 6x scope. The problem is that there is more jitter when holding a monocular versus a binocular. Also the field of view is very limited. This means that locating and focusing on a particular target is difficult. If you and your target are fixed (e.g. golf course), there is no problem. For finding and viewing targets which are more difficult to locate (e.g. birds) I would recommend a smaller magnification.

3.0 out of 5 starsCheaply constructed but not horrible
By Kelli Shaver on November 3, 2005
Color: Black
I recently purchased this monocular because I have bad eyesight and was tired of walking around downtown and not being able to see road signs in the distance. For what I bought it for, it works well.

You have to realize going into this that you're paying $10 for a piece of optical equipment. Of course build quality is not going to be top-notch for that price. That said, the quality is not as poor as reviews I'd read here (and elsewhere) had lead me to believe. This monocular is not overly rugged, but if you're careful with it and don't knock it around a lot, it'll probably hold up OK. At the very least, I feel that I've gotten my $10 worth, though I certainly don't expect it to last a lifetime.

4.0 out of 5 starsSlim pickings
By Andrew S. Malicoat on January 19, 2010
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I bought this item because I am serving in OIF, and I need to be able to see roof tops at a glance or to check the road in front of me for suspisous items, especially when im on the ground. We are issued bino's, but they are very big and bulky, so I needed something smaller. Its hard to get things sent to Iraq, but I was able to find this item that would, an that is one thing I am happy about. It's very light wieght, which is good because of all the other equiptment I have to carry. It has been holding up so far, and serving its purpose. The only bad thing I have seen is that it doesn't have the normal heavy duty feel that i'm use to. I'm reluctant to put it through the abuse that most of my other equiptment goes through. Aside from that I'm pretty happy with this product.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks well in daylight

I bought these to give to the neighbors kids, but it only works well in daylight. I tried it at a concert and couldn't really make it work for me in the dark.

5.0 out of 5 starsCompact and perfect for my needs
By J.Carver on April 29, 2012
Color: Black Verified Purchase
I'm really pleased with this. I keep it on my molle vest, it's lite and small. Not real powerful, but it works fine to spot for shooting at under 100 yards or so. If you're looking for clarity at a further range, probably won't do it for you.

4.0 out of 5 starsWorks good for distance, not for anything close.
By Jason on June 12, 2012
Color: Brown Camo Verified Purchase
You can only view far, not close, with this. Anything under 20 feet or so is blurry. It has good magnification and a correspondingly small field of view, but the clarity/quality seems good. If you only need to view far, this is a good buy. Comes with a nylon belt pouch and a cleaning cloth.

For comparison, I also have the Vanguard DM-6250, a 6x25 monocular that adjusts for close or far viewing and is 3.6 times the cost. The eyepiece rotates out a full 1 3/4 inches. You have to rotate it out 3/8 inch to the infinity setting to clearly see at a distance. Rotating out 1 9/16 inches brings you to the close viewing setting of .35m (~13.8 inches). Clarity/quality seems the same as the Tasco (I cannot perceive a difference). The belt pouch that comes with the Vanguard won't close unless the monocular is fully collapsed, my only real peeve. My main use would be for distance so I would rather be able to store it at that setting.
