My motivation for purchasing the monocular was clearly the world of birds that is happening right in front of my eyes on our street while I'm relaxing on the balcony. How often have I asked myself which bird is trilling on the branch across from me. Or just sitting at my feeder. In addition, on many walks there are often objects that one would like to take a closer look at, a windmill for example. This monocular makes a very well made impression. The surface is probably covered with a non-slip layer and you have a good grip on it. Both cover caps provide good protection for the glasses and are tight enough not to fall off, the large one is also connected to the housing. A device also allows mounting on a tripod. Adjusting the visual acuity is easy, even with just one finger while holding the monocular in one hand. Only the viewer can judge for himself whether the magnification is sufficient, depending on what you put in front of the lens or how far away the object is. For me it's definitely enough, because the closer surroundings are enough for me to look at, although I was pleasantly surprised how brightly and clearly the magpie was finally able to be seen in a nest quite a distance away. I think the device is absolutely sufficient for the occasional fetching of coveted objects in the area.
