Unlike many monoculars that require two hands to adjust the focus, the Carson 8x25 Bandit can be fully operated with just one hand – simply press the front or back of the rocker bar on the top of the housing. The Bandit comes with BK7 prisms and fully coated lenses for a bright, sharp image, and presents a generous 60° angle of view, or 393' at 1000 yards. The 8x magnification is a good all-around power that gives you a view of distant details without the image shake found on higher-powered optics. And at just 4.0 x 2.6 x 1.6" and under 3 ounces, the Bandit is easy to stash in a pocket.
