Your compact companion for big adventures – the monocular
With a monocular, you can keep one eye on the wonders of the world – and do so with ease. Because they only have one lens and one eyepiece, monoculars are exceptionally light and compact. They fit easily into any pocket, ready to be pulled out whenever something catches your eye. And they’re incredibly easy to use: just look through the monocular with one eye, close the other, and focus on your subject. Perfect for spontaneous discoveries and quick explorations! However, not all monoculars are created equal. At BRESSER, you’ll find a wide range of models to choose from. So, which one is right for you? To help you decide, we’ve gathered all the key information about these handy little tools.
Practical in every situation – where to use a monocular
Monoculars are versatile tools that are perfect for a variety of situations. Before you start browsing our web shop for your ideal model, it’s worth considering how you plan to use it. This will help you choose the monocular that’s best suited to your needs. Here are some of the most common applications for the compact optical devices:
- Strolls – With a compact BRESSER monocular in hand, you’re always prepared to zoom in on any wildlife you might encounter on your leisurely walks. It’s also great for getting a closer look at stunning views.
- Hiking – On long hikes or trekking adventures, a quick glance through a monocular can help you find your way or simply enjoy the scenery. Every gram counts on these trips, so be sure to choose a lightweight model.
- Travelling – Whether you’re camping, on a cruise, or backpacking, a monocular is a great option for travellers, especially when space is limited. Compact and lightweight, it’s the perfect tool to capture big moments without taking up much room.
- Events – Concerts, sporting events, and more – there are plenty of occasions where a closer look can make all the difference. If you’re planning to use your monocular mainly for these, or for observing moving objects, look for one with a wide field of view. This will help you keep up with the action.
- Water sports – A waterproof BRESSER monocular is perfect for sailing, motorboating, and other water sports. On the water, a lower magnification – around seven to eight times – is ideal, as it reduces image shake, ensuring a clear view.
See beyond what meets the eye – the optics of a monocular
When choosing a monocular, the most important factor is the optics. No matter how small and light it is, if you can’t see your subject clearly, it’s not much use. That’s why it’s important to consider the key specifications, so you can judge the performance of a monocular and whether it’s right for your needs.
Magnification and objective diameter
The first numbers you’ll often find in the product names – such as 10x42, 8x25, 7x42. They show the two key specs of any monocular: magnification (the first number) and objective diameter (the second number).
Magnification tells you how much closer you can bring your subject. A simple formula to keep in mind is:
Magnification x 100 = the distance in metres at which the subject appears to be 100 m away
So, if you spot a bird 800 m away, an 8x magnification monocular will make it look as if it’s just 100 m away. With 10x magnification, that same bird could be 1,000 m away and still appear to be 100 m away. However, higher isn’t always better. Whether your subject appears detailed depends on the objective diameter, glass quality, coating, and overall optical quality. Also, higher magnification can sometimes be a drawback, especially on unstable surfaces like water, where the image is more likely to shake. Plus, a higher magnification often means a smaller field of view, making it harder to locate and follow moving objects.
The objective diameter is the size of the lens at the front of the monocular. When it comes to image quality, bigger is better, as a larger lens lets more light through, making the image brighter. This is especially important if you’re often out in low-light conditions. However, a larger objective also means a heavier monocular, so if you’re only out in bright conditions, a smaller lens might be more convenient.
Field of view
Another number to consider when choosing a monocular is the field of view. This measures how wide an area you can see through the monocular from 1,000 metres away. Sometimes, you might see this in degrees instead. To convert it to metres, just multiply by 17.45. High magnification monoculars tend to have a narrower field of view. If you enjoy studying landscapes or historical buildings in detail, this won’t be an issue. However, a wider field of view is more useful when speed is involved, helping you to track a bird in flight or a fast-moving athlete.
Close focus
Sometimes, you don’t need to look far to see something special. If you want to observe butterflies or other insects through your monocular, a low close focus distance is a big advantage. This is the shortest distance at which a monocular can produce a sharp and clear image.
Twilight factor and relative brightness
From the magnification and objective diameter of a monocular, you can calculate two standard values that help compare different models: the twilight factor and relative brightness. The twilight factor describes how well details can be seen in low light. The higher the number, the better. Relative brightness indicates how bright the image appears through the monocular.
However, please note: These values don’t take the quality of the optics into account. High-quality glass and special coatings can significantly enhance a monocular’s performance. All BRESSER monoculars use at least BK-7 optical glass for good image quality. For even better detail and brightness, you can opt for models with BaK-4 glass. And when it comes to coatings, which reduce reflections and increase light transmission, BRESSER monoculars offer a range of options from standard full coating to advanced multi-coating.
Designed to last – the monocular housing
Besides the optics, there are a few other things to consider before you choose your monocular. Since outdoor adventures can be tough, the housing needs to be durable. A (partially) rubberised coating on the housing protects the optics from knocks and provides a better grip. However, there can be differences in quality. The robust rubber armour on all BRESSER monoculars is resistant to light and sun exposure under normal use.
Do you often venture out in bad weather? Then a waterproof monocular is a wise choice, as it prevents moisture from entering. An additional protective gas filling stops the lenses from fogging up inside during sudden temperature changes, ensuring you always have a clear view. Glasses wearers should look for monoculars with either a foldable rubber eyecup or a twist-up eyecup, which allow you to adjust the eye relief for comfortable viewing, even with glasses.
Whether you’re into water sports, hiking, or travelling, take a look at the BRESSER monoculars and find your favourite model!
