Can you use the monocular by itself to view objects with your eyes, or is it too small for that use?

yes, I believe you can look directly into the monocular at close up objects, but it isn't the ideal.

You can easily hold it up to your eyes and see through it. It's not really designed for that but it is possible.

Yes I think it would be fine for that, the only limitation is the limited range of viewing. I have a difficult time on objects that small beyond 75 yards. Overall I would get it again.

No it didn't. Although I have tried it with my own cell (mobile) phone I don't think this monocular was designed for that purpose -- even if you could find, or make, a hookupz adapter for it. --John

Definitely, as you can also see the ISS without any binocular at all. However, the field of view is wide enough to find and follow it easily. I used it myself for that very thing. Comet finding might be said to be its forte, however, or General Astronomy - backyard version.

Yes, but it is quite small and might only be used as a guide when lighting makes looking at the screen difficult.

Yes! you can manually zoom in, and it also zooms in automatically as it follows you. You can hid from it. lol

No. it only magnifies mid-range objects. If you put out your hands at arms length you can see enhanced details of lines on the palm of your hands. These glasses are not intended for reading. If you want to see a live demo/display i recommend you visit a Best Buy to test it out before you purchase it on Amazon

No, you can not use it like a telescope for viewing. It will identify and tell you about the "dot" in the sky you see through the viewer though. It parlays this info to you through reading on the screen or through audio output. It is very handy when trying to identify a constellation you think you might be seeing, as it will tell you which star/planet you are seeing in it and will tell you about the constellation as well.

It's best not to wear glasses while looking through a telescope, binoculars or a microscope. The focus is adjustable and glasses are not needed.

There's a little knob on the side to adjust it to your vision. you have to adjust it to suit your needs. You can see it pictured in the sample image.

Yes, if you have a clear line of sight to the object you want to see. If you mean something on the ground, remember that the horizon may be an obstruction depending on the distance, eye's hight, and the target's hight.

The binocular has a tripod mount, so you should be able to use it. This tripod has the standard mount.

Close one eye and hold an empty toilet paper tube up to the other. If that works for you, you're good. All NVGs with a single objective lens have this "view". 0 periferal vision, 0 stereo optic vision. But with a decent Infrared light, they are still very, very cool. Jim

Probably not. The harness needs to attach at two points and I see only one possible spot to attach to on the monocular. You might be able to get both hooks into that one spot, but it looks unlikely. That said, I've never seen the monocular in person--I'm just looking at the web photos.

No. You can't hold it still.Has poor optics and a small angle of view. Get something better!

I live in a small town as well. No problem with the viewing with the scope, although your night vision would be altered if you are close.

I suppose it can be used to view animals as long as the animal is not moving too much...could be hard to keep in focus on a moving subject. Hope this helps.
