Had one of these for years before some twerps broke into my car and stole it. Great monocular if you want something compact for traveling.

I have one of these. It goes into the “It’s better than having nothing” category.
Optics aren’t great. Decent at the center, starting to blur at the edges. Field of view is very small.
It is better than having nothing, but that’s faint praise.
I’d describe the one I have as being one step above cheap junk. The best I can say about it is that it’s very light and unobtrusive, and it can be purchased relatively inexpensively.
I also have monoculars from Alpen and Vortex. While they are both bulkier and more expensive, I wouldn’t recommend anything less than these to anyone who desires good optical performance in a monocular.

K.T.NThank you for your review I always like when someone with experience gives an alternate product when they say something sold here is sub-par. I will be looking into the two monoculars you suggested!

rootduckNo problem. When you’re checking out the Alpen monoculars, the one I have has sort of a boxy, blocky body with finger indents along one edge.
I tried to look it up on Amazon and didn’t see it.
It looks like the ones they currently have are round cylindrical models that are much less expensive, and don’t seem to garner a lot of good reviews. I don’t have experience with these particular ones, myself.
So look for the one with the boxy body with flat sides and finger indentations. That one is pretty good.

I'd rather pay a couple dollars more than Massdrop if able to get the product in less than the two months it takes Massdrop to get products to customers.

Yeah, I often times avoid affiliate links too. Maybe I shouldn't... but I do.
That's not an affiliate link though. Just a nice clean link.
Supposedly Amazon affiliate links include "?tag=AFFILIATE_ID" in the URL.
How can I identify Amazon affiliate link?
My peeve is shortened URLs. No easy way of knowing where it will take you until you click it. So... I usually don't. Depends on the source. :-)
Here's another, not an affiliate link but not so clean:
https://www.amazon.com/Brunton-Echo-Pocket-Scope-Monocular/dp/B00CP4TED8/ref=pd_day0_hl_468_4/144-4308729-4376263?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00CP4TED8&pd_rd_r=4d370460-6a36-11e9-b475-c358acaaf9b4&pd_rd_w=0wPIP&pd_rd_wg=5CD5n&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=4W6AW6V8GQXB17MBQHDR&refRID=4W6AW6V8GQXB17MBQHDR
And cleaned up a bit:

chuggerYeah I've learned that since posting the comment!
Thanks for the further clarification it helps a lot.
(Edit: The original link he had posted was much longer, that's likely where my confusion came from)
Cheers mate!

Is that a Brunton ECHO in your pocket or are you just happy to see me from so far away?

DO NOT BUY for two reasons: 1) This description is for another item--the Echo mono does not zoom and it does not have an eyecup--and 2) the Echo mono itself is a very cheap product. Brunton has made (or labeled) some very good, mid-range binoculars so I purchased three Echos a few years ago through a heavily discounted sale, thinking they were a decent bargain. Two of the three did not fully focus, and the third provided center resolution only in sunlight when looking at lit objects, with significant blurring toward the edges. Try to ID something in shadows, forget about it. It claims 7x but, compared to actual 7x binos I own, the Echo mono offers 5.5x–6x at best. Its housing is also a rubbery plastic that got very tacky and picked every piece of lint it came into contact with. Not worth its very small size and light weight. As for price... see other comments.

StoryvilleIf price is no object, I believe the very best pocketable monocular is the Nikon HG 7x15 monocular--can be found for ~$170 if you're OK with 3wk shipping from Japan . Fully coated lens but no WP or FP, which enables it to be as compact as the Brunton Echo with, again, the very best optical performance. Nikon HG size is 2.7" x1" x1" and 2.4 oz, specs include 32" close focus, decent field of view 345'/1000y, and genuine 7x mag. I agree with the Amazon reviewer who finds the 7x15 surprisingly bright and clear, and better overall than the 5x15 model. Price isn't bad when considering that its only real competitors for optical quality are the the Leica and Zeiss 8x20 monos, both bigger than the Nikon.

This is good ( I don't have one ) but to be better it needs to have it designed so it can hang on a lanyard around your neck. If I'm canoeing ,I'd hate to accidentally drop it in the water.I'm sure that if that idea was included the sales would skyrocket.
