Carson Bandit 8x25 Quick-Focus Monocular (BA-825)

I have compared this to my other mono's and bi's. This 8x25 is right on. Very clear. The one handed ability is great especially if your hands are full with gear, hiking stick or firearm. Its so light & compact for us ounce conscious pack packers. Easy to use. Not a heavy duty tool, hence its lightness. Take care of it and you will be happy.

Shipped fast. Nice one. Eye-side lens scratched - but I can not see it when in use so I kept this monocular. I guess nice for sightseeing and hunting.

Perfect size for bird walking! The toggle focus bar is very easy to use!!

It was useful while it lasted. One day I picked it up to use it and I couldn't see through it. I looks like the elements inside the monocular are out of alignment. It's best feature was the ability to use and focus it with one hand. I'm debating whether or not to spend another $20.

I have had my Carson monocular for several years and I like it very much. The image is bright and clear. The one hand lever focusing is very convenient and works smoothly. Other monoculars are perhaps as good in image quality but do not have the quick focusing capability of this one. Definitely a bargain for the price.

This is the second one of these I have purchased. I use it to turkey hunt with and that is why I need the one handed operation. The down side is that it is not sealed so dirt and grit gets into the unit around the rocker on top. Would be ok for ball games and stuff but will not hold up in the woods in your vest pocket. I thought for the money and what I use it for I would try it again but it is already getting trash in it.

Boy, this work great! It is clear, and easy to adjust it. So small to fit anywhere, and the material is not cheap. Love this item, would recommend anyone to buy this. You will not be disappointed it!

Very, very poor quality in every regard..see that front seam clearly visible in the picture it flexes open on first handling, it's so small barely fitting in my woman's palm and hence awkward to use. The optics are a non starter could not be better than a child's "spy scope" wondering at the rest of the positive reviews...returned within minutes...

Works as stated. Great little device. Can see detail on far off objects were before it was all a blur.

D'un point de vue optique c'est bien un 8x25 Point fort : c'est le seul monoculaire avec lequel on peut réellement faire la mise au point d'une seule main Une limitation : la netteté focalisation ne peut se faire que de 2,5 m à l'infini. A déconseiller pour qui veut un monoculaire peermettant de grossir ç 1 m voire 50 cm Un réél défaut qui fait baisser la note : la fabrication pas assez soignée : le disque de caoutchouc sur l'oculaire et qui le protéège se détache très facilemnt et sera vite perdu c'est cela qui explique ma note basse j'aimerai contacter le fabricant pour qu'il améliore son produit

Less than useful, bought this thru Amazon.in, spent all of 5 minutes with these binoculars and gave it to a kid to play with....magnification is a joke and this item should be sold as a toy

lo compre para cojer numeros de los crotales de vaca y se ve a la perfeccion

Works exactly as advertised. Easy to focus. Sight picture when focused is very clear. Focus down to around 3metres away. Lightweight and seems to be of fairly robust build quality.
