## Description

Review: No issues I would buy again - Very nice quality built with good strong materials
Review: Some minor flaws but a very good value - I bought this to watch my kid from the stands at high school band completions and to see the concert stage from mid-altitude arena seats. I previously bought the budget Celestron Nature 10x25 monocular for the same purpose. My first impression of the Opticron is the glorious fat field of view. It is not image stabilization but it does mean allow more real estate in which to center the target when my hand shakes. It also is better for digiscoping. I do not have to magnify the camera image as much to remove the ocular vignette from the picture and it allows more light through to the camera lens. It works very well with a Celestron NexYZ phone adapter. The optics are superior to the budget monocular. Details are more crisp and colors are closer to the naked eye. I can confirm the shortcomings pointed out by many other reviewers. The objective lens cover is too loose, both the loop of plastic holding it to the barrel and the cover itself. Why do they not tighten it up? And the focus dial is stiff. Appreciable force is required to turn it but once in place it will not be easily moved out of focus. That might be an issue for the Celestron which is small enough to fit in a pants pocket. The Opticron will fit in a coat pocket, but guys will get funny looks if they try to stuff it in a pants pocket.
