Hawke Sport Optics Nature-Trek 8x42 Monocular Green

Compact 8x42 monocular for outdoor observation

This Hawke Nature-Trek monocular delivers 8x magnification through a 42 mm objective lens in an ultra compact design. It uses the same high performance optics as the full size Nature-Trek binoculars for bright, detailed viewing. The green rubber armour provides a secure grip in wet or cold conditions. Ideal for hikers, birdwatchers and travellers who need lightweight optics.

Single eyepiece limits depth perception

A monocular cannot match the stereoscopic view of binoculars, so depth judgment at distance is reduced. Prolonged glassing with one eye causes fatigue faster than two eyed viewing. The fixed 8x magnification offers a narrower field than lower power models, making fast moving subjects harder to track. Buyers who need immersive 3D vision or all day comfort should choose a binocular instead.
