Review: Usable in art galleries - I bought the Carson 7x18 CloseUp Close Focus Monocular for use in art galleries, to get a magnified view of details in paintings. The monocular gives a sharp enough image for this, and acceptable brightness, even in the subdued lighting of a museum gallery. At 7x magnification, and being hand-held, the monocular always has to be held very carefully to avoid noticeable "shake" of the image. It is very useful for limited periods of inspection of details, but I would not find sustained gazing comfortable. At a quarter of the price of a specialist 4x magnification "gallery scope" (which might make shaking of the image a little less) I find the Carson product an attractive balance of cost to usefulness. ## Features - 6x Magnification & Close Focus – Offers clear magnification with close focus to 25cm, ideal for low vision reading and detailed observations. - Compact & Lightweight – Weighing only 80g, this monocular is portable and easy to carry on outdoor adventures or for daily use. - Wide Field of View – Provides a 130-meter field of view at 1,000 meters for sharp and wide observation in nature or on the go. - Complete with Accessories – Includes a soft pouch, carrying strap, and lens cloth, ensuring easy transport and lens protection. - Versatile Use – Perfect for hobbies, birdwatching, low vision reading, and other activities requiring detailed magnification and clarity. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0010KZJXC | | Best Sellers Rank | 25,245 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 86 in Monoculars | | Box Contents | Monocular, case, strap | | Brand | Carson | | Brand Name | Carson | | Coating | Fully Coated | | Compatible Devices | Stafork | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 860 Reviews | | Dawes Limit | 1.66 Arc Sec | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 3 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Fully Coated | | Eye piece lens description | Fully Coated | | Field Of View | 144 Degrees | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 18-36 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00750668006721 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 76D x 28W x 33H millimetres | | Item Type Name | Monocular | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Carson | | Manufacturer Part Number | CF-618 | | Model Name | CF-618 | | Model Number | CF-618 | | Model name | CF-618 | | Mount | Tripod Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 18 Millimetres | | Objective lens diameter | 18 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 18 Millimetres | | Optical-Tube Length | 18 Millimetres | | Power Source | manual | | Product Features | Close Focus feature | | Telescope mount description | Tripod Mount | | UPC | 163120847020 151903435106 086003933491 168141336201 750668006721 885417284317 141717429484 803983097919 100177481814 796793200283 843009054465 797749750944 021112037364 182682421028 887202440878 799472084396 001910031931 956258138210 115971180436 | | Zoom Ratio | 6x | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Carson - **Eye piece lens description:** Fully Coated - **Finderscope:** Reflex - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** CF-618 - **Objective lens diameter:** 18 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 18 Millimetres - **Power source:** manual - **Product dimensions:** 76D x 28W x 33H millimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Tripod Mount ## Images ![Carson CF-618 CloseUp 6x18mm Close-Focus Monocular, Grey | Grey (CF-618) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FD8BZGL+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what are the dimensions?** A: 3" x 1.3" x 1.5" **Q: Will this allow me to see the on screen text that is displayed on my TV from my cablebox such as the eletronic program guide? I have low vision.** A: It might. Sometimes I have trouble reading the satellite program guide from Dish Network without getting up from the armchair and the scope helps with that. But it depends too upon your TV set resolution. Cheaper and older analogue sets can be difficult to read fine text with -- even close up. **Q: Does it come with a case? How do you protect the lense?** A: What I got had a draw string case. **Q: What’s the exact weight ? In one description it says 2.8 oz, but another description says 1.62 oz. And does it have a rubber coating or is it metal ?** A: Hello, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will make sure to update the information in all the descriptions for this product. The correct weight of the CF-618 CloseUp is 1.62 oz. The structure is made of ABS plastic with rubber paint coating in some sections. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! *by D***P on 25 November 2015* Excellent product.
