If you simply want the best of the best then #2 is the Leica Monovid 8x20 monocular, it does offer a better, more clear viewing experience, but at a far than affordable price point, if you can afford it, by all means, go for it and you won't regret it, but personally, I'd stick with the Opticron Explorer. If I'd have to pick one for everyday use bird watching or making observations then it would have to be the Opticron Explorer WA ED-R 8x42 that sits at the #1 spot in this guide, I personally use this day-in-day-out and think its the best price to performance on the market, and you won't be disappointed. Picking the best monocular for you is a tricky thing, and while some can very expensive, others can come at an affordable price point that is perfect for everyday use. Compact size: Some monoculars are small enough for a shirt pocket and almost like a mini-telescope. Night vision: Electronic amplification for viewing in darkness, with infrared illumination and video recording.Ĩ. Tripod mount: For longer wildlife-watching sessions, with hands-free viewing and a steady image.ħ. Fogproofing: Sometimes monocular optics are nitrogen filled to expel all moist air and prevent internal fogging in cold air.Ħ. Waterproofing: Handy if you are out in the rain or accidentally drop your monocular into water.ĥ. Objective lens size: A bigger lens will gather more light and give you a clearer image at dusk or dawn, but will add to the size, weight, and cost.Ĥ.
Magnification: Higher magnifications are good for distant subjects but it's harder to keep the view steady a lower magnification is good for wider scenic views or fast-moving subjects.ģ.
