## Description

desertcart.com : Endurance ED 8x42 Monocular Green : Electronics

Review: Best for My Purposes - The Endurance ED 8x42 Monocular (Green) is an excellent compromise among a number of different features if, like me, you use it for quick acquisition and identification of wildlife, navigation aids and landscape features while moving through the landscape on foot or by paddling, such as when you are hiking and canoeing. No monocular is a substitute for high quality binoculars when watching wildlife over a prolonged period of time. On the other hand, no high quality binocular is so easy to carry on your belt and use quickly as a good quality monocular. I have owned and used four different monoculars during my trips in Midcoast Maine. These are the Stilnend 16x50, the Opticon Oregon 8x42, the Opticon Explorer WA ED-R and the Hawke Endurance 8x42 Green. Of these, I would say that the Hawke Endurance is the best overall for my purposes. The clarity is as good as the Opticon models, but the field of view is greater than the Opticon Oregon and is much easier to focus than the Opticon Explorer. The clarity of the Stilnend is not as good as either the Opticon or Hawke monoculars and I would not recommend it for that reason, if in fact it is still production. To make objective comparisons, I used all four models side by side with a Nikon Monarch 7 8x42 binocular. I was in the kitchen on a dark and cloudy day in January, identifying the clarity of bark, twigs, leaves and other objects in the backyard and the forest behind my house at distances of about 20 to 50 yards. The clarity of the Opticon models and the Hawke Endurance were about equal to each other but not quite as good as the Monarch. The Stilnend was distinctly less clear. The field of view is about equal in the Opticon Explorer, the Hawke Endurance ED and the Stilnend, but much less in the Opticon Oregon. I would say that for finding small birds in the brush and for identifying the species quickly the narrow field of view in the Opticon Oregon is simply inadequate. As a result of this test, I still think that the Hawke Endurance ED 8x42 Green is the best monocular overall in terms of the compromise between clarity, field of view, light weight and ease of use.
Review: Nice bright view. Good ergonomics. - I have a pair of Cannon 12x image stabilized binoculars. For birding, its field of view is often too small. So I wanted a monocular for wide angle views to supplement the binoculars while hunting for birds. The first monocular I bought was the Maven. It was a nice size to fit in your pocket and had decent (but not great optics). The focus ring on it was so narrow and so tight, it was unpleasant to use (birding you are always adjusting focus). I would say if you had compromised grip strength it was unusable. Anyways sent it back and ordered the Hawke. The views are better chromatic, better spherical, brighter, and it cost $50 less. The focus wheel can be operated with the same hand holding the optic. I've used this now for a couple weeks in various conditions, including rain, dawn, dusk. The optic did not fog, unlike the Cannon binoculars; also very bright even in first light. Anyways, the more I use it the more I like it ... highly recommend it. I should mention it is a little bulky, even so, it fits fine in my pocket. Be sure to have pants with deep pockets, if you want to carry it in your pocket. :)
