Review: Robust piece with a reasonable price - I had been using binoculars and this is my first mono. I bought it for my Pakistan trip since i didn't want to carry large binoculars to a tracking trip. This is an excellent-built, clear view monocular that i would suggest for anyone who doesn't want the carry heavy binoculars. Review: This monocular is worth every penny. Clear image, robust and waterproof. The ED version is what I purchased and it’s ideal. Big enough to let enough light in for low light use, small enough for a decent pocket and easy to operate. Yes the focus wheel requires patience as it’s slower to rotate than others but that’s really not an issue to me. Makes you feel it’s more sturdy than anything else. Hardly stops you operating it. Really pleased I bought this for wildlife use and the 8x magnification is more than enough to make it really useful. The case isn’t anything to get excited about but it does the job. Made a veg tan leather one for mine so the finished package is now complete. All I need to do now is not lose it like my last Opticron! If you’re lucky enough to be able to afford one, I certainly recommend getting one. ## Features - High quality roof prism design featuring ED glass objective - PC phase corrected prism with R-type high light transmission multi-coating - Nitrogen waterproof construction finished in gloss black - Wide-angle eyepiece with long eye relief for spectacle wearers - Multi-stage retractable eyecup.Smooth action wide wheel focusing.Close focus to 1.9m/6.2ft.Replaces BGA 8x42 Monocular ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TFQQQBM | | Additional Features | High-quality roof prism design with ED glass objective, multi-coatings, nitrogen waterproof construction, wide-angle eyepiece, multi-stage retractable eyecup, and close focus capability. | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,084 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #37 in Monoculars | | Brand | Opticron | | Built-In Media | Monocular, case, neck strap, lens cover | | Coating | PC phase corrected prism with R-type high light transmission multi-coating | | Compatible Devices | Tripod | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (161) | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 5.25 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | wide-angle eyepiece with multi-stage retractable eyecup | | Field Of View | 69.3 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 78.125 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05036422307859 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 4.7D x 5.4W x 13.8H centimeters | | Item Weight | 11.6 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Opticron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 30785 | | Model Name | Explorer WA ED-R | | Model Number | 30785 | | Mount | Tripod Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 42 Millimeters | | Optical-Tube Length | 138 Millimeters | | Power Source | Manual Operation | | Zoom Ratio | 1:1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Opticron - **Eye piece lens description:** wide-angle eyepiece with multi-stage retractable eyecup - **Model name:** Explorer WA ED-R - **Objective lens diameter:** 42 Millimeters - **Optical tube length:** 138 Millimeters ## Images ![30785 Explorer WA ED-R 8x42 Monocular, 47 mm*138 mm*54 mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51m6g1HbhHL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is the Origin of manufacture** A: China I believe **Q: How's this for holding a camera phone up to?** A: Get the celestron phone mount (Celestron - NexYZ DX Kit) **Q: anyone use it for star gazing?
