It's lightweight and easy to store in back pack. I like because it's easy to adjust and real clear , lot faster to look through than binoculars to me.

I decided to pay more to get a quality monocular and chose Bushnell because of reputation and reviews. When I bought the monocular I was given a promotional code to get a discount of 15%. That code would not work after three attempts and I purchased at full price. For the next two weeks I tried to call and talk with someone on your team and got the same message that you were having technical difficulties at least 8 times. I'm fearful that if I do have issues that I won't be able to get help. I also sent an email on your support page, and never got a response. I hope someone reads this and can contact me, and explain why my discount code would not work. Ron Reupert

I havent really put this to the test yet, but so far i love it. Well made, fits great in your hand and the optics are fabulous. 2 lens covers, a case and i wioe cloth for a great price. You can buy another brand for more and get less.

I really like my Bushnell monocular, it fits in my petite hands. When you look through the view finder it's very clear and sharp and I like the added features.

This is a well made monocular. It is solid in it's construction and easy to use. It comes with a case and lanyard.

This monocular has exceptional optical quality. The supplied lens caps are a nice touch, I like how there's enough room inside the included case to support a cleaning cloth and the included strap. I love the location of the focus knob compared to other brands. I'll be ordering a second one for my mom.

From one end to another. Picatinny rail screws stripped. The ridiculous cheaply made pouch reeks Chinese. . Glass is on same part as cheaper monos. Save yourself the trouble of returning this PoC and buy a Vortex.

It's perfect. The view, the performance, the material. It's made of some of the best optics in the market for its very affordable value. Visibility when using it is crisp clear and feels very comfortable when gripping. Definitely a recommendation for all users.

I only have serviceable vision in one eye. Therefore, I sought out a monocular. I was surprised at the number of options. I finally chose the Bushnell and it has greatly exceeded my expectations. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago. I am an avid birder and travel extensively in the western US. It is awesome for birds and wildlife.

There were no instructions on how to attach the lanyard, it has a plastic end on it that doesn't attach to anything on this model. I used the fixed loop on the side and instead of hanging straight down it hung slanted and swung side to side as I walked. Probably designed by males and intended for other males that wear a belt and use the belt clip. It may seem insignificant but having a good way to carry it while hiking is important to me.

This is a great monocular! It is lightweight, easy to carry and with its wide field of view, it significantly improves views of landscapes and wildlife. Love it!

Nice piece of gear to take along on a hiking, biking, or scenic drive. So much easier to use than binocs plus lightweight. Very nice!

the monocular is Bushnell, so it is very good. Crisp, clear, bright, well built and well worth the money.BUT, the rear eye piece cover is tied on with a piece of leftover string from something else and the so called lanyard is even more random. Hard to figure out why such a reputable company would cheap out so badly on insignificant accessories. Very minor points to be sure but as you can tell, aggravating as hell !

I'm in the mountains of NE Oregon using this monocular like a spotting scope glassin' rock chucks and squirrels out to 200 yards. I am very pleased with the quality of this optic. its exceptionally visibility, light weight, clarity, brightness, & specifically the sight picture. Its easy to dial in and proven quite handy when in situations where light weight and speed were required in targeting applications.

Love the size and magnification! Not the bag though. Bought a padded, military surplus, molle straped, opticle ACOG pouch for it! Dropped in like it was made for it! Can wear with belt or place on a pack! Only thing I plan to do differently with the pouch is cover drain hole at the bottom with a cut to fit piece of 1/4 inch thick neoprene for added drop protection and keep dust out!

I'm really happy with my purchase. You can't go wrong with Bushnell. I love that it is small and easy to hold and focus. The range is perfect for me and for my purposes. I've always been one to turn binoculars on their side to use just one side and finally decided to get a monocular. Adorama got the product to me quickly and no problems with order or product. I've used Adorama in the past for photo equipment and always had good service from them. Thank you.

The optics on this are great and worth 5 stars. I gave it a 4 because of the carrying case. It's WAY too big. People often get monoculars because they're smaller than a pair of binoculars so who would want a case that would hold a pair of binoculars.

Sturdy without being overly heavy. Very easy to zoom in or out with one finger, nice optics. And really hasn't fogged up when going from one temperature to another. Very happy bird watcher now!

I bought this monocular to use it on the range. When being RSO on the fireing line it allows me to quickly pick up bullet impacts and check on the score. Light and compact but great optical quality! The monocular is built like a tank and still light and easy to use even for extended time. Thank you Bushnell for this awesome monocular.

Really surprised at the small size, was fearful it would be too big and hard to handle, but it is anything but. Very well made, and controls are tight and precise. Excellent product IMO. Being a photographer I respect the workmanship.

I took these out to one of my favorite bird watching spots and was amazed at how easily I could spot wildlife. So worth the money. Love my monocular!

Quality monocular!
By Robert E.
I've not always been a Bushnell fan as my previous experiences were that the products were not of good quality. When Bushnell introduced the Legend series, I think things changed. The Legend HD spotting scope is actually a packable monocular. If it's a spotting scope, it's a small compact one. For my application, I wanted something small enough that I could pack in for whitetail hunting. As much as I love the optical clarity of my high end euro binoculars, they weigh too much and are too bulk...

Perfect Quality For Me
By Gold
Perfect for me because I see only with one eye. Also gathers enough light, easy to operate for sharp detail and of course, lighter and smaller than binoculars of the same quality. I'm not at all interested in using the monocular for hunting because I have no interest in that type of activity.
Because precision and portability are paramount for the avid explorer, the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42 Monocular (Black) stands out as a pinnacle of optical engineering. This sleek, high-quality monocular is the embodiment of the legendary performance found in the Legend Ultra HD binoculars series, now condensed into a more compact, easy-to-carry form. Ideal for the discerning nature enthusiast, traveler, or photographer who demands durability and reliability, this monocular is a versatile and innovative choice for viewing distant objects with exceptional clarity.

The robust 10x magnification power brings distant landscapes and wildlife into sharp, detailed focus, allowing you to appreciate the finer details of your subject. With a generous 42mm objective lens, this monocular offers a wide field of view, ensuring you don't miss a moment of the action. The 15.2mm eye relief provides comfortable viewing, even for those with glasses.
Designed to withstand the elements, the Legend Ultra HD monocular is both water and fog proof. The RainGuard HD coating repels water and fog, ensuring your vision remains unobstructed, no matter the weather conditions. This feature, along with its durable construction, makes it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts who require equipment that can handle unpredictable environments.
