Monoculars

Whether you’re an adventurous wildlife photographer or a hunter or bird-watcher looking for new gear to help you zero-in on far-off targets, a monocular is a great tool to keep in your arsenal. These are miniature telescopes or spotting scopes that you hold in your hand like a pair of binoculars but only feature one eyepiece.

Because they’re typically incredibly compact — sometimes small enough to fit in your pocket — they’re perfect for bringing along during any excursion. Focus Camera has monoculars made by the best optics brands, including Bushnell, Vortex Optics, Zeiss, Armasight and more.

So how do you choose the right monocular? The first thing you’ll want to consider is how much magnification you need. If you expect to be at a relatively far distances from your subject, you’ll want to choose high-powered monoculars with 8 plus magnification. If you’re on a budget or don’t anticipate being too far from your target, low-powered monoculars may be appropriate. Some monoculars are designed specifically for use with photo and video cameras, so they actually convert your camera into magnifying or night vision cameras. If you’re looking for a monocular for photography or video-recording, check out one of these styles.

We’ve got a pair of monoculars for your specific needs at Focus Camera, including incredible night vision monoculars with built-in image and video capture as well as pocket-sized mini monoculars that won’t get in your way. We also carry awesome monocular bundles that come with the monocular plus cleaning and care accessories to ensure that the lens and housing is always in its best shape while you’re out in the field. Some of these bundles also include add-ons such as foam float straps to keep your waterproof monocular safe in wet conditions. Focus Camera offers free, same-day shipping on many of these products.
