Review by Michael Williams for Brunton Echo Pocket Scope Monocular (Orange) Rating: This is an amazing device at an amazing price. 1/4 turn runs from 13" to infinity. An essential tool for hikes. Good optics. Great for an insect's eye view of flowers, for geology (a pretty good hand lens), or just as a standard monocular. I buy them for all my nieces and nephews when they get into age range. I have several in my backpack, in my cars, around the house. It is a great little gift for hiking friends.

Review by The Gray Ghost for Brunton Echo Pocket Scope Monocular (Orange) Rating: The Brunton Echo Pocket Scope Monocular is pretty decent for the money. My only complaint would be that the wrist strap is a real pain to attach. So much so after 10 minutes I decided I did not need it that bad. Other than that it does what it is supposed to and the construction seems pretty rock solid.

Review by M. Walker for Brunton Echo Pocket Scope Monocular (Orange) Rating: This is a great little scope. It fits in my pocket (or on my belt with the case). Very clear and sharp images. I've used it for watching football, marching bands, birds, seals, boats, whatever. It focuses easily, and I can use it with my glasses or without (which is a definite plus for me).

This scope is perfect for people that want something small to carry around, so they'll actually use it.

Review by solocanoe for Brunton Echo Pocket Scope Monocular (Orange) Rating: I have, for years, carried a small set of binoculars on my canoe/camping trips. I got the smallest, lightest set I could and they still were heavy and took up a 5" x 1" x 3" space in my pack. Recently I got the idea from a fellow solo-tripper on the monocular. Wow! what a difference it made for me. This is about the size of my thumb!

I found a webpage (somewhere) that told me what I wanted to know - what power to get??? The old binoculars were 10xsomething...but I learned - for what I want - I want low power (less shaky images in low power with a monocular) - so I am really glad I learned that. this is plenty powerful for my needs:

checking for portage trials from the water, looking at wild animals, looking ahead at water routes, etc...this is just about perfect. I got the orange so I can find it in a hurry from my pack and the small size means it also fits nicely in my PFD pocket. all in all I really like it.
