Sports reviews of Brunton Echo 7x18 Pocket Scope
Customer Review: From the Visually Impaired...
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
As a person who is visually impaired, I use monoculars daily to view objects like a cell phone screen, trafic lights, signs, and scenery. I would give this monocular a "Good" rating on its own merit, but to use it as a monocular for somebody like me, I give it only a "fair."
The Basics:
The monocular arrives in that plastic shield that you have to open with a knife or a chainsaw. Once you get the package open, you will find the monocular and probably notice immediately how little it weighs. It really is quite lite. The case is fine, and there is a short (4 inches o so) strap, a little cleaning cloth, and the nylon case. Looking through the eyepiece, you will notice that the picture appears reasonably bright and clear. I can't see any problems with it, but that's me. The focus has a REAL short action, which makes focusing really fast. You'll probably like it. I haven't dropped the monocular on the concrete yet to test how solid it is, and I suggest that you protect it carefully too.
The Good:
Good easy focus, lite weight, and good looking. It would be great for camping or day hikes, if that's your thing.
The Bad:
The strap is fine, except that people usually like to put it around their necks, and that's not possible with this small strap that fits only around your hand. The image could be brighter with a larger objective lens, but it's not too bad really. My biggest problem is the close focus zoom. This is why I bought this monocular, and I am actually disappointed. It doesn't get close enough, so the 7-power is rather wasted compared with other monoculars I own. If you're a low vision person looking for a close focus monocular, or if you're someone looking to soom really close in on those flowers, go with a WALTER'S monocular, which are much more expensive and made for that sort of thing. The close focus gets down to about 2 feet or so, and if you rely on it the way I do, you will be a little disappointed.
Overall: A good buy. Look at other monoculars that are cheaper and have more power. There's one for about $13 that is a 12x25 on amazon.
