Excellent value, strudy optic for long and short range applications
Size: 12x56 Green
This is a very useful and compact monocular and an excellent value. The 12X56 lens brings things nice and close and is honestly about as high as one would want to go without a designated tripod for stability. The optical clarity is very good, especially for the price. The clarity of this monocular does not compete with an equivalent power Zeiss or even a mid-level Vortex or Leupold, nor is it intended to at this price-point. For the money you would be hard pressed to find a better optic. We use ours to spot hits for short range air rifle, and for that it does an excellent job. It has a very short focal distance which is critical in our application (5 yards or less). The sturdy construction of the monocular would make this a good optic to keep in a vehicle as it takes up half the space of an equivalent pair of binoculars. Unlike the optic itself, the included accessories, while functional, are entry level at best and I would not depend on them in any rigorous or critical use-case. ... show more

Convenient, portable, and powerful
Size: 12x56 Green
As I also own and love a pair of Adasion Binoculars, I wanted something a little more portable and easy to use. This monocular checks all the boxes. It has incredible clarity and is easier to use (than the binoculars) since it can be held with one hand. I also find it easy to focus and find things farther away now that I am only magnifying the one eye. I thought the focus knob was in a convenient position and I have been able to focus clearly on something 20 ft away just as easily as I could focus on something 200 ft away. I always thought binoculars were the way to go, but I am convinced that a monocular is much easier, convenient, and more powerful. The accessories that came with it are wonderful as well. The tripod is sturdy and easy to mount and the phone attachment, similar to the one for the binocular, is also excellent. I think the tension knobs are a great addition and hold my phone securely. I also appreciate the fact that not only can I keep both the monocular and the phone attachment in the included case, the phone attachment is held in a velcro sleeve that securely stays in place in the monocular case. This leaves the perfect amount of room to hold the monocular. It was a great use of space. Overall, it's a great product for someone looking to get into birding, or looking for something smaller and portable to bring to a concert or show. Don't let the size fool you though, it's quite powerful. ... show more

Affordable, sturdy monocular
Size: 12x56 Green
I take my Adasion 12x56 monocular with me when I go walking along a local river. I like being able to see the details of birds and flowers that are nearby. I love being able to see birds farther away enough to identify them. The monocular's 12-power magnification (equivalent to a 600mm camera lens) means that sometimes I can watch birds from far enough away that they don't fly away first. For instance, I came upon goldfinches eating seeds from tall dry weeds growing next to a local path. Crossing to the other side of the path, I watched the birds for five minutes with them filling up most of the viewing area in marvel ous detail. The monocular's large exit lens brings in enough light that I can easily view things in fairly low light. I like that. On the way back from the river, I check on a small flock of wood ducks that gathers in a canal flowing beneath a canopy of trees. The shaded, late afternoon canal is not too dark for this monocular. Instead of using the supplied hand strap, I attached a camera strap to the monocular and wear it around my neck. The Adasion 12x56 is lighter and has more magnification than my 8x42 binoculars which I wear with a chest harness for convenience. The additional magnification of the monocular also magnifies the natural movement of one's hands more than does the 8-power binoculars. I'm used to image stabilization with my digital camera and may explore a much more expensive image-stabilized monocular someday. In the meantime, I've decided the view from the extra magnification outweighs the additional shake in the view and just live with it. I could haul the monopod around mounted to my metal camera tripod, but I see a monocular as a quick, nimble viewing experience. If I had an 80-power spotting scope, I'd be using the tripod. I've experimented with taking photos through the monocular using my iPhone. I mounted the monocular, adapter, and phone on a regular metal camera tripod. A regular camera tripod is more stable than the little plastic tabletop tripod included with the monocular and allows taking pictures while you're standing up. I used the phone's self-timer to avoid camera shake. Worked like a charm for stationary subjects. With image stabilization being part of the camera in many smartphones these days, I'll be experimenting with handholding the monocular-iPhone rig to see what kind of results I might get. In the attached images, the sunflowers in the first image were taken with the monocular; the second image shows the sunflowers taken without the monocular, similar to the regular view from our eyes. Standing close to the sunflowers, the monocular allows me to watch the bees at work! In the image of the northern flicker woodpecker on the telephone pole, the monocular brought me close enough to see its spots and clearly identify it—had it not already identified itself with its signature loud call. If you're looking for a well-built, hand-holdable, high-powered monocular at a modest cost, I'd recommend the Adasion 12x56. While I have no way of verifying the claims that the monocular employs a superior BAK4 prism and multi-coated optics for superior image clarity and nitrogen gas to prevent moisture from seeping inside, I like that they claim such. My senses tell me this is a sturdy device, not overly heavy, encased in a rubberized outer skin with a tripod thread, which focuses smoothly and lets in loads of light. At this price point, the fact that the monocular's optics aren't corrected for chromatic abberation (purple or green fringes around bright objects) is no reason to discount the Adasion 12x56. ... show more

Better quality than others I've tried
Size: 12x56 Green
This purchase turned out better than I expected. This 12x56 monocular is comparable to more expensive brands for sure. We had good luck with the Adasion when looking for 12x42 binoculars last year. We had purchased three different brands at the time and the Adasion was substantially the better quality binocular. We also had friends with more expensive Binoculars and monoculars to compare. We found that same quality in this monocular as we did previous purchases which definitely rivaled big dollar devices. After using binoculars and deciding to try a monocular for further distances and tripod mounting we decided to buy Adasion again. The more powerful the lens you have the more steady it needs to be when viewing. This is where a tripod comes into play. To me, when viewing at greater distances with mounted or tripod setup, a monocular is a better choice over binocular but that is personal experience. This particular unit has a wide 56mm lens which looks amazing! Crystal clear. The lens size allows nice viewing even in low light conditions. It comes with a good quality tripod and no need to upgrade. We were surprised the tripod was such good quality. Has leg extensions and a quality that doesn't seem like what you'd normally find as a free add-on. The focus adjustment knob is precise with no slop when adjusting in/out. This is one key thing that really set Adasion apart from some other brands we tried. Many of the other brand had that looseness or slop feeling with the knob which resulted in constant hunting for good focus. In other words, when you fine tune adjust one way then back the other way you feel a wide gap where turning doesn't move the lens initially....then it moves. The precision with this Adasion knob makes finding the sweet spot quick and precise. The phone attachment is not something we would normally use however it does work well once you get it adjusted. I can see where this would a benefit some people. Comes with a good quality carrying case with hand strap. The monocular has a padded hand strap for for secure hand held use. Low light viewing is another thing we were pleasantly surprised with. This would be great for deer hunters and you name it to scope out areas even during light low in the early morning or late evening. The lens covers are nicely made and fit snug. The unit as a whole seems like a more expensive unit than what the price leads you to believe. It feels substantial and quality in hand. Hope they keep up the good craftsmanship. Pros: Wide lens is super nice at low-light or mid-day bright sunshine, great viewing angle, crystal clear, precision focus knob easy to find sweet spot with no slop, lens dust covers fit nicely, durable feel, phone adapter, great quality tripod with leg extensions, cleaning cloth, instruction manual, case with hand strap, also padded hand strap for monocular hand held use Cons: Phone adapter works great but takes some time getting adjusted. Not much at all to gripe about ... show more

Works great!
Size: 12x56 Green
Bought it based on reviews and only tried it out once so far so can't comment on durability. Received it approximately 5 hours after purchasing. Works great and has clear field of view. Could watch mirage at 115 yards on a 85 degree fairly humid sunny day with clear pic of object about 70 percent zoom on camera. Only thing you have to figure out is which lens your smartphone uses at different zoom settings. On galaxy S22, at 10x magnification on phone it appears to switch lenses so you have to pick a lens (either main lens less than 10x or telephoto at greater than 10x) and go with it for your setup and shot unless you have plenty of time to play with the rig. The monocular also has 3 eye relief settings by turning eyepiece 3 clicks from up close to back further away. Using it as a monocular, eye relief works better clicked further away, with phone attached i dialed it close and that seemed to be better. Works fine with phone case on the phone but definitely works better without it. Carrying case that came with it only holds monocular, have to find a bag or case to put accessories in so i can carry them altogether. Tripod seems serviceable, held it steady just fine. No surprises, seems like good quality and what i was looking for. ... show more

Great little mono scope. Excellent for what it does at this price. Eazy to use and very clear viewing. The (cell) phone adapter and tri-pod are a type of plastic and may not hold up to a lot of field use. However for occasional use they will serve their purpose adequately. My 'scope arrived two days before the due date in fine condition. I'd recommend this scope for casual backyard viewing and probably it would be adequate as a back pack scope. I recommend it. ... show more
