Fair review. As others have noted, the whole thing is 52mm in diameter, but actual usual objective lens diameter is more like 40mm, and the magnification is closer to 8x. Quality control isn't great, but if you get a good one, the optics are decent enough. A feature not demonstrated here is that the eyepiece rubber folds back on itself (by design) making it easier to use with glasses or eye protection, which is ideal for my purposes. Worth a purchase on Amazon - you can just send it back if you get a bad one.
I have exactly the same item, but is branded 'Bushnell' - about AUD$27 on Ebay. I also own a pair of Bushnell 10x25 binoculars. Comparing them together and my determination is that the monocular is also 10x magnification and not 16x.
Got mine today, avoid buying this!!! mounting is weak, screw head detached, won't line up with lens properly, weak lens, I'd say 8x at best. At came with free dirt inside the lens, you can't clean the inside of!
How did you manage to test this scope while playing the keyboard and drums ?! Anyway, to be fair £12 for 16x (debatable more like 10x) is an OK buy. You can't expect pin sharp results at this price.
Pepicek Lebl to adjust your monocular zoom you have to use front and rear adjustment parts because this particular model has a dual focus capability. Slowly spin both parts till you will see clear view.
Excelente!!! Comprei dois, pois pretendo fazer associações, nas minhas "criações pardalescas ", para obter um "BINÓCULO" de alto gabarito, com ajuste independente para ambas as vistas. Nas tentativas iniciais, o resultado foi muito bom. ( JET/sempre inventando)
Mine arrived and it’s a rip off, the scope doesn’t slide into the black camera holder thing, I don’t have a tripod in my packet. And they don’t even take good photos
I've just bought one for £5.99 ; delivered (UK) in three days. I'm absolutely delighted with it. It's 10x, feels substantial (but definitely not drop/shock proof) and I wouldn't use it outside in the Scottish rain! OK, so there's some chromatic aberration and distortion around the peripheral view but there's sufficient crystal clear, sharp image to make this a truly bargain at, just under £6 (free p&p). I've bought more expensive, smaller monoculars that were nowhere near as good as this.
Chromatic abberations - world looks like vommit of a rainbow. Spherical abberations bring your perspective to "another level" of geometry. This cheap monoculars are just total crap. After miute of using it you got a headake. It's sad, but reasonably good monoculars are 10x more expensive.
Why does it say night on it ??????? U clearly can’t see it in the day but gotta be honest for that money it’s good . I’d also say once it dried out it perfect , had same problem mine fell into the edge of the river and I still have it now ! Of course high tech ones now record etc but for the simple guy like me who likes seeing nature without a crowed watch just walking Along checking out birds etc it’s sweet

8x magnification. I put it up against 9x mag. it wasnt 9. Clarity was good. For $12 its a great throw in the bag small monocular.

Most unbiased review. Truthful. I bought it and returned it back and got $200 monocular
What did you end up buying?

Day vision is good but i want to see what about night?
I just bought a Bushnell brand of this same device. Perhaps it's the original that the Chinese copied?
Bushnell is made on the same OEM factory and it's just a brand of cheap optics
The best review i never see , congratulations !!! Thank you!
is it good for long range upto 2 miles . if not than any recommendations for longe range
should temm : from how maters are you testing it ?
You forgot to scratch off fogproof

"Feels solid in the hand" - that's what she said 😂
Great video although I feel the true magnification is x8 (put it against something like a celestron and see)
how much
How Long was the short distance please and how to setup it
Pepicek Lebl can you please explain me what exactly you want to know and I will try to help you.
Straight Shot Survival I need to help because I have this attachment, but this sight does not want to focus my stuff close

submerge it to rice for better water absorption.
The Archeer claims to be 16x, but its literally doing no better than my Tasco 10x. It would be a good joke if it wasnt so sad. Got to return it.
Is binocular binoculars can use zoom in and zoom out?
UnBreakable Gaming no, you can't.
good reveiw thanx

Very bad quality not sharp at all is not really a 16 x maybe 10x

You forgot to put that screw part back on it, it looks like
Can zoom in and out ?????
UnBreakable Gaming no zoom function.
Straight Shot Survival So what if you want to see an object with a longer distance?
While Zoom in and zoom out m can be used ...
UnBreakable Gaming do you mean manual zoom in and zoom out?
UnBreakable Gaming monocular has "magnification" which is 30× times, but no zoom in and out function. I hope that I answered your question.
Straight Shot Survival thanks you so much
*More chromatic Aberration than a Rainbow ;)*
Thanks .

I don't think this is 16x, may be 8or10x.honestly
I got this for free cause it didn’t arrive by the guaranteed delivery date, thanks covid ;)

It looks like 10 x 42 and not too sharp much better Vortex I pass thanks anyway
IT is a good Toy for Kids. This is not survival or outdoor Tool.
I did not see the 16x testing..
