Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better: a monocular or binoculars?
Today’s monoculars have all the features of a great pair of binoculars, so it mostly comes down to whether you need “depth of field” or “true field of view.” Binoculars work like two eyes, so they give you a wide-angle viewing experience and create a sense of 3-dimensional depth. Monoculars are intended to narrow your focus into the true field of view. Monoculars are more precise for spotting targets, which is why they’re preferred by hunters,
How do you gauge magnification in a monocular?
Magnification is identified by two numbers, typically found in the product description. For example, if a monocular is described as a “40×60 monocular,” the 40×60 references the scope’s power. The first number is the magnification and the second is the size of the object lens (the glass lens at the far end). The larger the diameter, the brighter the image.
Will my smartphone function as normal when hooked up to my monocular?
Yes. When you hook up a monocular to your cell phone, you simply turn on the camera function. The lens of your phone is placed at the exact right distance from the eyesight of the monocular and transmits the image to the camera function. You can still take calls if you need to, you just have to exit the camera function first.
