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.

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.

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.

Summary: You get what you pay for
Comment: I could not get it to focus very well, and the image quality is not what I expected. I gave it to my 8 year old to play with as I could not use it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very hard to beat for boating application (reasons why)
Comment: When sailing, a monocular might make optical focus quicker than with binoculars, and this monocular in particular makes great sense. Here are some boating factors for the Brunton Echo: (1) This can cost $13 more elsewhere (before shipping). (2) Lanyard support and case is handy, and (3) customer reviews seem good for the price and seem accurate. (4) Another factor is 7x magnification - the max advisable for boats (given motion, a higher magnification is much harder to use). (5) The clarity here is really good for a budget scope, and (impressively) one can use it (likely) while wearing sunglasses or goggles. (6) Single-hand use is easy. (7) Five stars from me in the low-budget boating category.
