We have a small space to engage with you and tempt you to buy our product over the thousands of others that are listed here, so as you can no doubt imagine, standing out amongst the crowd is very difficult. We want to take this chance to explain how we developed our monoculars and why they might be worth considering over others. Our Brand Owner Firstly - At PURSUAL we have a huge wealth of experience in our team with both optics and outdoor activities. Our brand owner is ex-military, an experienced mountain leader & an optics specialist who just adores the great outdoors. Comparing to other Monoculars Secondly - We purchased a range of the top Monoculars from cheap to expensive and from branded to unknown. We then used and compared them extensively to work out what we liked and didn't like and what we thought was important in providing value for money. Performance testing Thirdly - Cost vs quality vs performance, this was the hardest part of the development stage. We experimented with many options such as prism quality, waterproof level, magnification vs lens size and many more attributes. The Explorer 20x42 Monocular Finally - In doing this, we believe we have developed a monocular package that comes at a great cost vs performance, that has everything you need, is robust and reliable and that won't let you down.

Review: Worth the Price! - Excellent price point for the quality of this product. Easy to adjust and use. Also, comes with cloth case. Review: Clear, bright, compact and powerful. - Very happy with purchase and do recommend. I was a bit worried that the BK7 prism would be a bit dull and not sharp but that has not been the case. It seems in this category many of the details are exaggerated, to say the least. The specs to be accurate here. Magnification lens sizes etc all seem accurate. The tabletop tripod was not the greatest as expected but does the job just fine for hiewing. The phone accessory was better than expected actually. Case lens cloth etc is nice also. ## Features - πŸ”­ THE PURSUAL EXPLORER: Monocular telescope featuring up to 20x high power magnification through a 42mm diameter objective lens which provides crisp, clear & bright images.

Easy to adjust and use. Also, comes with cloth case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear, bright, compact and powerful. *by B***C on March 25, 2023* Very happy with purchase and do recommend. I was a bit worried that the BK7 prism would be a bit dull and not sharp but that has not been the case. It seems in this category many of the details are exaggerated, to say the least. The specs to be accurate here. Magnification lens sizes etc all seem accurate. The tabletop tripod was not the greatest as expected but does the job just fine for hiewing. The phone accessory was better than expected actually. Case lens cloth etc is nice also. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little scope! *by L***N on January 19, 2023* I was going to go with a cheaper zoom for my camera but glad I decided on this, it's a very sturdy but lightweight quality scope. The optics give a lovely crisp view even at high magnification on my phone, the 2nd image is using the scope and the second without. It was quite easy to set up and attach my Samsung S20fe, if only getting the birds to stay still long enough to photograph was as easy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/491429961-pursual-explorer-20x42-hd-monocular-telescope](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/491429961-pursual-explorer-20x42-hd-monocular-telescope) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
