I have a very good set of binoculars for birding, but they don’t focus closer than about 20 yards. Great for distant birds, but I couldn’t see the birds that landed close in my back yard, so I couldn’t identify them. With this tiny monocular I can easily observe the small birds I couldn’t focus on with the binoculars. The focus ring is smooth and brings in a sharp image. Surprisingly good optics. Not a very wide field of view, but that’s not a problem, since I only want to look at one bird at a time. Field is wide enough that spotting the small birds is not a problem. I like the very small size. I can have my binoculars for longer range, but when I need to see something much closer, this little monocular stows easily in a pocket and is quickly accessible. Not great for longer distances (but not bad, all things considered). Not for prolonged use, since you have to keep one eye closed. It works great for what I need. Review: Comparison of two mini-monoculars Carson vs. Roxant - Wanted something small to take when traveling. For enjoying the view and watching wild life. This works great for my intended use. Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Included a case and a cleaning cloth. When purchasing the ROXANT Mini-Monocular I also purchased a Carson Mini-Monocular to compare. They are about the same quality and price. Either is a great purchase I highly recommend. They are about the same size, smaller than I expected for the viewing quality, amazing. The Carson is only three inches long! The Roxant is slightly shorter (see my comment regarding the eye cup) which might be the reason for the slight difference. The Carson is a little heavier and because of its shape and a little wider, not as conveniently sized as the Roxant. However, the shape is very comfortable to hold. And the extra weight makes it FEEL as though it is better quality. The packaging on the Carson was very difficult to open. The Roxant was in a simple box, no problem! The eye cup on the Carson is a longer, at least twice as long as the Roxant. This makes the Carson easier to use (and slightly longer). When I hold the Roxant against my eye, in bright light, it reflects my eyelashes. Making the Roxant a little more difficult to use than the Carson. The Carson can be rested on the eye socket. Therefore, it is easier to hold the Carson still for better focus at a distance. The Roxant case was much smaller and more convenient than the Carson case. However, the Carson case is made of canvas and I'm guessing a soft polester interior. The case from the Roxant is either plastic or rip stop (hope it is ripstop). It also has a soft interior. But does not appear to be as good of quality as the Carson case.

I have low vision.** A: It might. Sometimes I have trouble reading the satellite program guide from Dish Network without getting up from the armchair and the scope helps with that. But it depends too upon your TV set resolution. Cheaper and older analogue sets can be difficult to read fine text with -- even close up. **Q: Does it come with a case? How do you protect the lense?** A: What I got had a draw string case. **Q: What’s the exact weight ? In one description it says 2.8 oz, but another description says 1.62 oz. And does it have a rubber coating or is it metal ?** A: Hello, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will make sure to update the information in all the descriptions for this product. The correct weight of the CF-618 CloseUp is 1.62 oz. The structure is made of ABS plastic with rubber paint coating in some sections. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient and sharp image *by D***W on March 28, 2024* I live in the country where there are lots of birds.

The size helps that you can toss it in any bag but binoculars would be better in almost all use cases.
