Rangefinder? Not your last. Otherwise? Not bad. September 10, 2008
Jonathan T. Hsiung (Los Angeles, CA)
In terms of being a rangefinder, it does its job. Accurate enough for what it is and marginally good for the amount you pay for it. You hold it sideways (the focus switch facing your left eye) and it has 50-200 yards on the left and 50-200 meters to your right.
The shape and weight is great. It's smaller than most monoculars and is made of lightweight plastic. Unfortunately, just as so, it feels like a plastic toy from China. The optics are good and the focus speed and accuracy are decent, however, it still feels like it adjusts like a toy. Unfortunately, like other similar products of its kind, you have to estimate where the flag ends if it is on a higher elevation than you (and can't see the base).
If you're not too old, the shakiness may be bearable. BIG TIP: It is best stabilized held up to your eye, with your thumb-index webbing securely cupping your eye socket and the device held by your last three fingers, leaving some space between your eye and the monocular. Use your other hand to adjust focus and stabilize the far end. It would be difficult to adjust focus one-handed but not impossible. If you're older, 7x might be too much so look into a 5x magnification device. I don't know what you'd do if you have glasses, because, well, I have perfect vision. Contacts should be fine, theoretically.
For me, it works fine for now until I can justify purchasing a laser-shooting, picture-taking, ball-scratching monocular. It's not the best product, possibly not even the best in its class, but it works and it's a good value. Oh and the ball bag is innovative, but the velcro quality is poor.
