With the performance of a powerful spotting scope in a space-saving form factor, the Celestron 20x50 Outland X Monocular is an ideal optic for fast long-distance glassing at only 6.5 inches long and weighing just under a pound. Celestron includes their basic smartphone adapter that allows you to capture photos and video through the eyepiece on your phone to edit, share, and post quickly and easily.
The large lenses draw in copious amounts of light for use in low-light conditions, such as those at dawn or dusk and when peering into heavy brush or canopies. Complementing these performance features are anti-reflection multicoated optics and a field of view that approaches wide angle to produce an immersive and comfortable observational experience defined by bright, clear high-contrast views with accurate color rendition.
While you can hand-hold the monocular, because of the high power you may experience distracting vibrations. To eliminate this when you're looking through it or using the smartphone digiscoping adapter, the Outland X can be tripod mounted on its integrated 1/4"-20 socket. Its optical tube is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging and the chassis is wrapped in a protective slip-resistant armor. For ease of use, the monocular comes with a case that can be worn on your belt or pack strap and a tethered objective cap that won't get lost.
