A standard tripod bush means you can attach the monocular to any photo tripod for added stability at high powers It's comfortable enough to use for relatively long periods and sports generous eye relief, but for really steady views, we recommend mounting the Outland X 10x50 to a tripod. The monocular also comes with a smartphone adapter for digiscoping, while the O-ring is sealed against water, and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. The size of the lens also makes a big difference. The bigger the lens, the wider the view it can capture and the clearer the image you get will be. However, if you do opt for a bigger lens there is also the possibility that the monocular will become bulkier and more difficult to carry. The main idea of a monocular is that it is light and more portable than a spotting scope or even binoculars. Making the monocular bulkier, therefore, is counterproductive. An ideal lens size for a monocular is anywhere between 20 mm and 42 mm. Prism A monocular is both lighter and smaller when compared to regular binoculars, and in our buying guides we look for a monocular that is lightweight, of good construction and that's able to withstand the abuse of the day-to-day activity of birdwatching and wildlife spotting. Magnification is also a big factor and we like to offer a wide range to suit everyone's preference. Budget is also an indicator, and within this buying guide you will find items to suit everyone's budget. The magnification power of a monocular refers to how far into the distance you can see with it and how clear that image is. A decent monocular should at least have a magnification power from 5x to 8x. You also do not want too high a magnification unless you have a tripod as the image is likely to shake at a higher magnification. The higher the magnification power, the field of view is also reduced. Lens Size

Resembling a miniaturized spotting scope more than a typical monocular, the Celestron Outland X 10-30x50mm monocular with a tripod is inevitably bigger than most in its class, while of course offering more with it.

Objective lens size: A bigger lens will gather more light and give you a clearer image at dusk or dawn, but will add to the size, weight, and cost.

The eyepiece is coated with rubber to prevent your eyes from getting injuries. It also allows for comfortable viewing. This makes it suitable for both glass wearers and non-glass wearers.If you choose an optic according to the quality of images it produces, this is the right choice. The fact that the lens is fully-multicoated and has a large diameter shows that it is excellent in its light transmission. With such, you will have a sharp and clear view, making it feel like the images are right next to you. At low light conditions, you can easily use them to obtain clear and crisp images. This means your adventures will not be put to rest by the low lights. Yes, the Powershot Zoom has an advantage over a phone in being able to optically zoom to 400mm. But pitch it up against another compact camera of the same price tag – something like the Panasonic Lumix TZ90– and at 400mm it also comes up short.
