great little pocket scope and exceptional price
(5 out of 5) by Stacey Moon on Aug 10, 2007 (Anchorage, AK USA)this little gem is incredible for what you get for such a low price. I replaced another rei generic scope with this one and am glad I made the switch. i will continue to buy brunton products as they are built very well and are simple in design and to operate.

Handy little pocket scope.
(4 out of 5) by D. Wilkerson on Feb 8, 2009 (Florida)This pocket scope has a very clear view. The eye relief isn't much. I wear glasses and have to hold it tight against my lens. Good focus adjustment. Close up view is ok. For it's convenient size and weight, it does a good job.

Every Hiker should have one! Nephews love it.
(5 out of 5) by Michael Williams on Jan 4, 2009 (Boulder, Colorado USA)I buy these several at a time as gifts for friends and family. Use it to look at wildflowers without bending over. Close focus provides an insect's eye view. It also serves as a field lens for looking at rocks. Amazing! I have several in various cars, backpacks and around the house.

Very hard to beat for boating application (reasons why)
(5 out of 5) by testingagain on Aug 19, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA USA)When sailing, a monocular might make optical focus quicker than with binoculars, and this monocular in particular makes great sense. Here are some boating factors for the Brunton Echo: (1) This can cost $13 more elsewhere (before shipping). (2) Lanyard support and case is handy, and (3) customer reviews seem good for the price and seem accurate. (4) Another factor is 7x magnification - the max advisable for boats (given motion, a higher magnification is much harder to use). (5) The clarity here is really good for a budget scope, and (impressively) one can use it (likely) while wearing sunglasses or goggles. (6) Single-hand use is easy. (7) Five stars from me in the low-budget boating category.

Exactly what I was looking for!
(5 out of 5) by Dane Shepherd on Jul 23, 2008 (Gulf Coast, Florida)This is just what I was looking for; something to get me a little bit closer to an object, and be portable enough to have on me at all times.
I can't tell you how many times I've wished I'd had binoculars with me. Whether I'm at a sport event, on the beach, camping, touring, or just need to see if the vehicle up ahead is a police car or not. This is the perfect "with-you-at-all-times" gadget, and inexpensive enough to throw one in the glove box and keep another on your belt.
The optical clarity is very good. I can make out a license plate from over 100 feet. The close-up is spectacular! Another reviewer said they used it to look at their fish, so I tried it with my tank and I noticed details on my 4 year old Angels that I've never seen before.
I don't see how you could go wrong for the price. Buy a couple as stocking stuffers!
