Effortless, single-handed operation Featuring a compact, palm-sized body, this model provides a non-slip, rubber-coated exterior to assure firm hold with either hand. Its seesaw-type focus adjustment mechanism assures easy focusing operation by the holding hand, allowing the user to observe a subject with one hand while trekking or hiking, or while carrying a bag with another hand. 2. Bright, clear view All reflective surfaces of the optical elements and prisms are fully multi-coated to prevent excessive reflection. Coupled with phase coating applied to the roof prism, this model boosts transmissivity and delivers outstanding imaging performance with a bright, sharp, high-contrast view of the subject with minimal flare and ghost images. 3.Dedicated accessories that greatly expand the use Using the monocular with the optional smartphone adapter ""V-SA1""* will allow the user to observe a spectacular, magnified view of the subject on the phone's screen and to save the images directly to the device. Also, by mounting an optional macro stand ""V-MS1"", it can be used as a microscope with approximately 18 times magnification to observe an enlarged view of microscopic objects. When the object is dark due to the monocular shadow during observation, you can observe it while illuminating it with the built-in LED light. In addition, using it with ""V-SA1"" can significantly expand the range of use of the main unit, including the ability to shoot and save super close-up images. *Depending on your smartphone's size and the position of the camera lens, you may not be able to attach it. * Currently under development; official product name, price and marketing date to be announced later. 4. Washable, waterproof body Featuring waterproof construction* (equivalent to JIS Class 7; protected against immersion to one meter under the water), this model can be rinsed clean with water, and is usable under all weather conditions. * Not usable in the water. 5. Others 1. Wide range of focus adjustment (70cm to infinity), for close-range observation of nearby subjects 2. Exclusive carrying case, with a belt loop on both sides to facilitate access and storage from the users preferred side. 3. Tripod mount, for easy installation of a tripod without an adapter ". Review: Best monocular I have used - Brilliant focuser design - very smooth and easy to operate one handed. The 6x magnification makes for steady viewing with the view being crisp edge to edge. The build is solid and the monocular fits my hand well. The macro lens is easy to adjust for close vs distance viewing. As the macro lens is integrated, you don’t have the bother of screwing and unscrewing it when you want to go between distance viewing and macro viewing. I much prefer this to my 8x36 monocular as the field of view is larger and there is less shaking if the image. Review: Monocular Comparison - So I've been using this Pentax 6x21 for a couple of weeks now. It's been fun and very easy to use. The rocker toggle on top to adjust the sight is very smooth and intuitive after a few moments of playing with it. The optic is very clear and colors look great. It works best when the sun is up, it gets harder to see through during dusk due to the 21mm optic. How it compares to the Carson 6x18 monocular, the most noticeable difference is the eye relief. The Carson needs to be touching my eyelashes to see the whole field of view while the Pentax doesn't need to be held so closely, there is a ton of wiggle room(eye relief) to see through the lense without having to touch your eyelashes, this translates to being able to use it with glasses and not touching those either(no scuffs) while viewing. The second thing I notice between the two monos is glare. The Carson catches more lense refraction pointed towards the sun's incoming rays. It's coated but not nearly as fully multi coated as the Pentax. The Pentax does not pick up any glare during the day or sunset. Now the difference between 6x18 and 6x21. It's the same magnification 6x. Nothing different, they are both true. They can even view very close objects about 4ft which means they are good for museums or anything else that has "no touching" signs. Now for the 18mm vs 21mm. It's not quite as different for viewing different distances, especially closer objects within the 15ft-100ft. The 21mm gives a slightly more field of view. Where the Pentax shines is the eye relief, I belief that helps out with these smaller, lower magnified monos. Now for value. The Pentax is $150+ while the Carson is $20. There is a big difference in cost, manufacturing and viewing. The Pentax is absolutely a quality unit. It's clear, true to color, easier to look through and it's weather proof ipx7. The Carson is not weather proof, no ip rating, the viewing colors are comparable to the Pentax and the viewing capabilities are just a few notches below the Pentax. If you're looking for a small compact unit, either will suffice. The Carson is even smaller. If you have never used a 6x, it's a great starting off point. The sight is narrow but it'll work. If you do have experience with 6x and want a solid piece you can take outside rain or shine and want much more eye relief, get yourself the Pentax. ## Features - A NEW CONCEPT MONOCULAR DESIGNED TO BE EASILY USED WITH ONE HAND: A waterproof monocular, with high performance, specialised operation and optional accessories (macro stand and smartphone adapter that can be used as an 18x microscope), allowing you to maximise the situations for use. - EQUIPPED WITH HIGH OPTICAL PERFORMANCE AND SPECS: Special coating with excellent optical performance, high waterproof performance, 70cm minimum viewing distance, rubber coating, ergonomic one-handed operation, optional accessories designed to expand the functionality, Compatible with tripods. - CAPTURE IMAGES STRAIGHT TO YOUR SMARTPHONE: By attaching the optional smartphone adapter (V-SA1), you can not only view a powerful enlarged image but also save this to your device. - VIEW EVERY DETAIL: By mounting the macro stand with the LED light (V-MS1), it can be used as an 18x microscope that allows you to magnify and observe minute objects.
