Review: Great buy for under 7 bucks. - Very decent pocket size monocular. You probably can't beat it for $6.99. They're normally $10.99 at Walmart, so I couldn't pass it up! I actually got two of them. One had a little residual glue under the eye piece armor so it wouldn't turn without stretching the armor on the body of the monocular. The glue machine at the factory must have dribbled a bit too much. I eventually worked it loose by gently turning back and forth. No damage occurred during this process and it's fine now. Also the eye cup on the same one is a bit out of round from being smooshed a bit too long in the bubble pack. I suppose that will eventually correct itself too. Hey, for $6.99, I can live with it. The optics on both are nice and clean. No dust or dirt like in some others this cheap. The image is very good for 25mm. The glue issue on the stuck one and the fact that there are no lense caps, was my reason for taking off a star. They do however, include a belt pouch. For the price, you really can't go wrong. Especially for pocket sized convenience. Keep in mind that with a small lense size of only 25mm (less light is captured), it's best suited for daytime viewing or spotting for a larger, more serious optical device. If you want better viewing at dusk or dawn, you'll have to opt for a much larger monocular with a 42mm, 50mm or larger exit lense. Anything larger than 60mm, usually gets you into a spotting scope. You can get a pretty decent Chinese12x50 monocular for under $20, but it's not going to fit in your pocket. Also, keep in mind that if you get one with a zoom, the image will become dimmer, as you zoom out further. A fixed power design is always better if you know what you really need for length. Yeah, yeah. That's what she said. Lol. 8x,10x and 12x are my favorite, as they don't shake the image as much as higher powered monoculars. An extra plus on this purchase, is the fact that I got it from the TASCO STORE (on desertcart) and not a third party retailer. It's nice buying from the company that actually manufacturers the product. Overall, for it's intended purpose, I'm very happy with this purchase. Review: Nowhere near as bad as some reviews make it sound. - It works I'd say even a bit better than the price they have listed. People must be crazy with how they handle things because the second I started twisting the focus I could feel how gentle that is. Most cheaper products have to be treated like glass, and this item is literally glass. Durability is as price dictates, not bad at all. I could easily keep this thing going a year or two in my pocket with minimal care. Performance? Up to cost but pretty bad. It has a lot of problems with anything before I'd say 50ft, and after a certain distance.This may be due to me again doing that too-rough twist and snapping the closer end of the focus track, but I don't think so because it tends to do the same for further out when twisting other way. Things are too blurry to be seen when close. My other top of lowest bracket scope is 10x44, and that one can see much closer and further than the Tasco, but does get blurry at about 10-20ft. I am assuming that it's actually due to the diameter of the glass itself, not any defect due to this reason. Compared to a $70 BAK-4 prism, the view isn't all too bad. It's not as sharp but it's definitely clear. x25 felt a bit small to me. Which is easily fixed by just panning around a lot more. As I expected with most unsealed mono's, this thing will get foggy if it's even near breath. So if it were to drop in water or be left in unfit conditions i'm sure it could do horrible damage to it. ## Features - Quality optics with stunning HD clarity - 100% quality materials used and tested extensively - Beautiful design and durability built to last - Powerful, ultra-compact and ultra-lightweight monocular - Field of view: 288 feet at 151 meters - Roof prisms - Features black rubber armor, hand strap and carrying pouch - Fully coated lens ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001DZ38U | | Additional Features | Roof Prism, Black Rubber Armor, Fully Coated Lens | | Best Sellers Rank | #265 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #47 in Monoculars | | Brand | TASCO | | Coating | Fully Coated | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone, Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 643 Reviews | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 2.5 millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Prism | | Field Of View | 288 feet | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 260 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00046162005682 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.27"D x 2.28"W x 4.88"H | | Item Weight | 70 g | | Manufacturer | Tasco | | Manufacturer Part Number | 568RBD | | Model Name | Tasco 10x25 Essentials Monocular (U) | | Model Number | 568rbd | | Mount | Roof prism (alt-azimuth type) | | Number of Items | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 26 millimeters | | Power Source | Manual Operation | | Product Dimensions | 8.27"D x 2.28"W x 4.88"H | | Telescope Mount Description | Roof prism (alt-azimuth type) | | UPC | 046162005682 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Zoom Ratio | 10:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TASCO - **Eye Piece Lens Description:** Prism - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus Type:** Manual Focus - **Item Weight:** 70 g - **Model Name:** Tasco 10x25 Essentials Monocular (U) - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 26 millimeters - **Power Source:** Manual Operation - **Product Dimensions:** 8.27"D x 2.28"W x 4.88"H - **Telescope Mount Description:** Roof prism (alt-azimuth type) ## Images ![Essentials 10x25 Compact Roof Prism Monocular (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DV239q1iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy for under 7 bucks. *by M***. on March 19, 2021* Very decent pocket size monocular.
