Manufacturer's claims (from Gosky)Show
- 12× Magnification & 55mm Objective Lens: This Gosky monocular is equipped with 12×55 high power magnification, which is the best magnification for distance watching. It provides large field of view (352ft/1,000Yds), extending your adventures to greater possibilities.
- Premium FMC Lens & BAK-4 Prism: The HD monocular telescope uses 18mm BAK-4 optics prism and FMC (Fully Multi-Coating) lens, which could increase the monocular's light transmittance and unnecessary light reflection, delivering clear and sharp pictures.
- Lightweight Monocular & IPX7 Waterproof: The comfortable and portable hand strap could prevent the lightweight monocular scope from slipping out your hand. The IPX7 Nitrogen-filled design makes the monocular waterproof, fog-proof, dustproof and shockproof regardless of weather conditions.
- Comfortable and Intimate Visual Experience: The long eye-relief that comes from the twist-up eyecup provides you with incomparable, comfortable watching experience outdoors.
- Smartphone Adapter: Comes with a newest-version quick alignment smartphone holder, which is suitable for almost all smartphones on the market. It would help you to get a close HD IMAGEs without shaking during bird watching, hunting, hiking, camping, traveling, wildlife, scenery, etc.
