I had a pair of these and lost them.  So this was a replacement purchase, only this time I bought Bushnell instead of the lesser brand I previously owned.  I use them for watching birds feeding on my porch so needed a compact and close focusing binocular.  This fits the bill because it lets me focus in to about 20 feet or so.  I also tried them out at a longer range (150 feet) and found that the magnification was good and the field of vision is good too. (I have a 12x pair for long range work).  The lenses are clear and the adjustments are easy to master.  The binoculars feel sturdy and focus and eye spacing adjustments are precise, and I do recommend them as a great pair for the application I mentioned and the price.  The only CON I can think of is the lanyard to put them around your neck appears to not be removable and it gets in the way unless you wrap it around the bridge between the two lenses, but this is a minor thing.
I recommend these if they fit your needs, and you get a soft case as well.

I bought this monocular to help sight in my rifle.  To focus and make adjustments is easy and the clarity is good for the price.  For my purpose it's well worth the money.

Neat little scope. Gives a great image. Easy to use. Only 4 stars because no major difference between 60 and 120x magnifying. Well worth the money.

It does two things.  It gives quite a good, magnified image, and it looks around or over nearby objects.  It is sturdily built, and the top panel of the one I received is held solidly by four screws; I don't anticipate needing to glue anything.  When the scope is extended, I do see an edge of image from whatever the tube is pointing at, such as the ceiling while looking out of a window. That part sneaks in around the angled head, but it does not seriously interfere with the clarity of what is being viewed.

The periscope isn't useful for viewing at short distances, such as in tight spaces, small rooms, or perhaps most home hallways, because anything closer than about 20' remains out of focus.  Especially if there is any danger, you don't want to see something up close that is a confusing mass of magnified and blurry.  The scope is good, though, for use outdoors or in larger constructions, where there is adequate distance. I find this product to be quite a decent 5x monocular that can look around corners or view above a crowd.

The case is designed to hold the scope and the handle separately.  At first, I didn't like the need to attach the handle before every use, but then I rethought that concern.  The shortened case is better for transport and storage, but when you want to use the case as a holster in active situations, the attached handle protrudes for easy access. The case has a strap and also a belt loop (at the end that opens), offering a choice of carry options.

Bought these to look at birds while we walk the levee with our dog.  They are compact, lightweight, and easy to use with a clear magnification.  Like them very much

Pretty much exactly what you're expecting - decent magnification, very low res, perfect for quick inspections but don't expect to have your mind blown by the clarity.

This is a good magnifier. It is a little bigger than I thought it would be. The 5x is only the size of a nickel, located near the handle. It would have been nice if that was a little bigger, but I suppose it's not a big deal. The light is pretty bright. It takes 4 AAA batteries, not included. The light makes things easier to see - it's a nice feature to have. The plastic is sturdy enough and the unit is pretty lightweight.

That is you have to see through it to appreciate it. I was pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of this little scope. A quick summation should suffice:
The optical clarity is excellent all through the zoom range. There is always something better, but if it works well who cares?
The field of view is more than sufficient at the longest range.
It is easy to hold without losing sight of the target image, especially if you can lean against something for support.
Unlike binoculars it is quick to pull out and start using it.

This monocular works much better than I expected. I use it for looking at targets on a pistol/rifle range, and can easily see holes in the paper at 50 yards, sometimes out to 75 yards. It is so small it can be hidden in the hand if for some reason that would be necessary.
I have been using optical devices (rifle scopes, camera lens etc) for over 40 years so I have a good deal of experience with gadgets like this. Having paid more than $2000.00 for rifle scopes and pricey German camera optics, I find nothing wrong with this little scope. Time will tell if it wears well.

A much better magnifier then what I had to use before. Large surface lets you see clearly what you're looking at.

A solid product and very pleased with the magnification. Deducting one star as I notice a slight inward bowing outside of the center of focus. Note that this item is also compatible with some of the cases out there w/ other lens attachments for a more secure hold.

Nice spotting scope. Clear optics with a steady easy to set tripod. Focus is accurate and zoom stays clear at all ranges. Very happy.
