Amazon.com Product Description:
Quality optics have never been so small. Built with BaK-4 prism glass, the multi-coated 7x power Echo pocket scope has a near focus of only 13 inches, yet still delivers a terrific view from a distance (including a 181-foot field of view at 1,000 yards). More significantly, the Echo measures a mere 1.3 by 3.3 inches--not much bigger than a cigarette lighter--helping it fit handily in a shirt pocket or hiking pack. Whether you want to spy on your pals down the street or spot a mockingbird from a distance, the Echo delivers.
Additional features include an 18mm objective lens, a 2.6mm exit pupil, and a 12mm eye relief. The Echo, which weighs only 1.8 ounces, comes with both a neck lanyard and a carrying case and is backed by a one-year warranty.

Rating:  - Eh, it's ok.
I must need to cut back on the coffee because I can't really see anything with this due to everything bouncing around. I do appreciate it's small size and relative affordability, but I'm questioning whether or not I'll ever get any good use out of it.
Rating:  - Jack Bauer's great little pocket telescope
I looked this up after I saw it being used by Kiefer Sutherland on 24. I'm very pleased with it. For a pocket scope it's very powerful and best of all, it has a very sharp image. I have two or three other pocket scopes, but this is the best.
For a pocket microscope my favorite is the one from the Discovery Store. For a pocket scale, try the 600gm digital sleek portable scale from Half Baked Goods.
Rating: - Very frustrating to rotate to focus
The only two good things about this monocular is its low price, and that it looks good from outside. It is very very frustrating and irritating to focus it, because the focus control is very tight to rotate, and jerkier in rotation... not at all smooth, like in Zeiss monocular, or Nikon binocular that I bought also. After I can get to focus it, it does display things fine. But the thing is that the rotation for focus HAS TO BE smooth, since while viewing things, there are other things to worry about ...

Rating:  - You get what you pay for
I could not get it to focus very well, and the image quality is not what I expected. I gave it to my 8 year old to play with as I could not use it.
Rating: - Very hard to beat for boating application (reasons why)
When sailing, a monocular might make optical focus quicker than with binoculars, and this monocular in particular makes great sense. Here are some boating factors for the Brunton Echo: (1) This can cost $13 more elsewhere (before shipping). (2) Lanyard support and case is handy, and (3) customer reviews seem good for the price and seem accurate. (4) Another factor is 7x magnification - the max advisable for boats (given motion, a higher magnification is much harder to use). (5) The clarity here is really ... Read More
