Let's Start

Shortlist

The main consideration when selecting a monocular are the magnification level and objective lens diameter, which determine the optical capabilities of the monocular. The bigger the objective lens diameters, the better the image quality and the heavier the monocular may get. Waterproofing and night vision (thermal or infrared) are also important factors to consider when selecting a monocular.

Monoculars for surveillance should be small but still offer good performance. Consider choosing a maximum magnification of 10x and an objective lens diameter of not more than 42mm. An 8x42 monocular weighs about 1.5 lbs. (0.7 kg) and a 10x25 one weighs about 0.75 lbs. (350 grams).

Monoculars with a magnification of 8x to 10x enable both portability and good magnification power for backpacking, hiking, birding, and wildlife viewing. Monoculars with 8x magnification are very popular; however, for safari trips, you should consider a 10x magnification monocular (though a stabilizing tripod may be required).
