What's up everybody? We have 10 minutes here with our dear friend Mr Mike McDowell to talk about

Monoculars the optic that doesn't really I think get enough love. We've talked about binoculars

We're talked about rifle scopes rangefinder spotting scopes get talked about binoculars, we've talked about rifle scopes, range finders, spotting scopes get talked about.

We've even talked about, there's all kinds of things glassing.

And binoculars hasn't been brought up yet.

Mike, you're sort of our resident observation optics expert when it comes

to binos, spotters, and these things. You know a lot about them because you've used a ton of them and so

yeah that's why you're here. explain monoculars to us they're

pretty simple are they not you're you're right they only get about half as much

love as a binocular sorry that, that was really lame, wasn't it?

Well, no, it was good.

I enjoyed it.

And you know what, and I would argue they don't even get half.

Probably not.

He's probably right.

They don't.

Yeah, I mean, really, they're half of a binocular.

They don't have a hinge, a bridge to go to another optic,

but a binocular is essentially two of these things connect together and aligned so that you get stereoscopic vision.

This we would call stereoscopic vision is a thing, is a term.

Would this be monoscopic?

Correct. This is monoscopic vision.
