Amazon.com Product Description
Quality optics have never been so small. Built with BaK-4 prism glass, the multi-coated 7x power Echo pocket scope has a near focus of only 13 inches, yet still delivers a terrific view from a distance (including a 181-foot field of view at 1,000 yards). More significantly, the Echo measures a mere 1.3 by 3.3 inches--not much bigger than a cigarette lighter--helping it fit handily in a shirt pocket or hiking pack. Whether you want to spy on your pals down the street or spot a mockingbird from a distance, the Echo delivers. Additional features include an 18mm objective lens, a 2.6mm exit pupil, and a 12mm eye relief. The Echo, which weighs only 1.8 ounces, comes with both a neck lanyard and a carrying case and is backed by a one-year warranty. What's in the Box?

 Very hard to beat for boating application (reasons why) August 19, 2008
testingagain (Los Angeles, CA USA)
When sailing, a monocular might make optical focus quicker than with binoculars, and this monocular in particular makes great sense. Here are some boating factors for the Brunton Echo: (1) This can cost $13 more elsewhere (before shipping). (2) Lanyard support and case is handy, and (3) customer reviews seem good for the price and seem accurate. (4) Another factor is 7x magnification - the max advisable for boats (given motion, a higher magnification is much harder to use). (5) The clarity here is really good for a budget scope, and (impressively) one can use it (likely) while wearing sunglasses or goggles. (6) Single-hand use is easy. (7) Five stars from me in the low-budget boating category.
Exactly what I was looking for! July 23, 2008
Dane Shepherd (Gulf Coast, Florida)
This is just what I was looking for; something to get me a little bit closer to an object, and be portable enough to have on me at all times.
I can't tell you how many times I've wished I'd had binoculars with me. Whether I'm at a sport event, on the beach, camping, touring, or just need to see if the vehicle up ahead is a police car or not. This is the perfect "with-you-at-all-times" gadget, and inexpensive enough to throw one in the glove box and keep another on your belt.
The optical clarity is very good. I can make out a license plate from over 100 feet. The close-up is spectacular! Another reviewer said they used it to look at their fish, so I tried it with my tank and I noticed details on my 4 year old Angels that I've never seen before.
I don't see how you could go wrong for the price. Buy a couple as stocking stuffers!
It's cheap, it's small, it works July 22, 2008
Megarat (Squirt Island, USA, Earth)
On the whole, this is a pretty incredible little instrument.
Having such a long focal range (16 inches to infinity) in such a small package, for such a low price, is quite miraculous. This makes for a brilliant throwaway, super-small scope, for when portability is more important than quality. But it's not for serious viewing.
The 18mm objective doesn't capture much light at all, so the image, especially for distant viewing is quite poor. I compared this with the 7x32 Carson monocular, looking at a pigeon nest on my neighbor's house; with the Brunton I couldn't make out any detail at all, while the Carson (which has its own weaknesses) picked up a very clear image.
For close-focus viewing (i.e., less than 20 feet), it performs much better, but still not better than close-focus monoculars with a larger objective.
I can only recommend this monocular to someone who needs a micro-size spotting scope (either close- and/or distant-focus) that is vanishingly small in size, and wouldn't break the bank if it got lost/damaged. If you are looking for a super-small scope that doesn't suck, then this is for you. If you are looking for a reasonable scope that would benefit from being small, then I'd advise you to continue looking.

great small pocket size. Not to be used over longer time, but for spotting objects its great.
 light but not very powerful June 17, 2008

Well Bought it to spy on neighbours! jk actually I got it for camping to see birds and deers. The reason I wanted small is it was for hiking. It is really small and very light. but very very less powerful. I mean i dont bother taking out. my cellphone has a 5 x zoom on it and it is like 3 times better than this one.
Its a great toy.
Not for a person who actually wants to use it to see far away objects.
A shot of what you can see without this and with this at 100 yards away would show that its useless. like I tested it out in a parking lot and well it did help to read plates of cars standing 2 lines further than what i cud read. BUT again this is not impressive. this is like a match when you need a maglight.
very very weak.
