Very Good value no issues

It was a gift but feedback is good. Quality image easy to use and good magnification. Binoculars require two hands to use but this only needs one. Clips on a belt and could use a lens cap. Has been in regular use every weekend since Christmas and no issues.Robust in use. Would recommend.

Highly recommended general purpose monocular.

Very good monocular for general use. Perfect size to carry around and the view through it in all conditions is very good. It also feels very good in the hand and is well protected from the elements. I can highly recommend this product.

Will not disappoint on al

Very pleased. Reviews were very good, so expectations were high. Not at all disappointed. Qualify is a cut above in all areas. It is a tad larger than you might imagine but certainly not a problem. Image quality is crisp and bright. Really is a 5 star product; highly recommended.

Have not used it yet but it's well made with a rubber coating.

High expectation solo delivery

Spent more than I should of done on this, and am quiet disappointed, the focusing ring is so tight that it makes it almost impossible to use with one hand, so is pretty useless for the fast focus needed for bird spotting. If a bit of silicone grease had been applied at the assembly stage it would of cured this but there is no way to lubricate it yourself. The focus ring is narrow and one has to apply so much force to turn it that its uncomfortable to use as it digs in to your fingerd.. The lanyard lump and the clip lump by their positioning make it difficult to use one handed as they restrict your access to the focus ring, the lanyard hole could of been on the clip side making the whole thing more usable. Shortly after purchase the eyecup rubber fell off to reveal the cheap plastic beneath. The eye relief adjustment feels cheap and plasticy clicky, not quality smooth, and the focusing constantly alters the eye relief as it moves the eye piece lens / tube up and down inside the housing. The optics are pretty decent and grab a fair amount of light giving dawn dusk advantage, but turn it to the sky to view raptors and the like and an orange circle appears halfway across the view. Considering this is only half a binocular one would expect it to perform like half a £180 set of binoculars, unfortunately not the case, no phsae coating that it should have at this price point. In summary, cheap manufacture covered by a thick rubber that makes it look classy.
