Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Zeiss and leica monoculars are excellent, but excel in different ways. The plastic zeiss is much lighter than the all metal leica. Amazing for backpacking light. Ultralight, small, durable - it fits in any pocket.

Beautifully crafted, lightweight, no reason to not take it with you. Zeiss warranties it for lifetime; however, i have yet to see how easy the claim process is.

The slide focus takes a little getting used to in contrast to the turning ring of the leica. Focusing requires two hands, but is easily learned. We no longer usebinoculars as this instrument is so compact and easy to put in a pocket or purse.

The zeiss optics are amazing! The optics are fantastic. But then it weighs half as much, 2 ounces versus 4, and the optics are superb.

Cons

However, the cylinder assembly is plastic. This makes it lightweight, but also not as robust as aluminum of say a mini maglite. The optics are not great. Imho, it is nowhere near what i would expect from zeiss.

Quality

I enjoy its quality and the nice leather pouch it came with

Optics are a high quality multi crisp with negligible edge distortion with a decent exit pupil and field size for such a small tool

I know that given its quality i will have it for man years

84 ounces durable and gives excellent image quality however you may need to consider the following limitations before buying it

Price

The main advantage that you get for the high price is very small weight as miniquick is 34 times as light as other similar monoculars

The optics quality is not superior to other small monoculars such as brunton echo and carson closeup while the price is much higher 140 vs

Packaging/appearance

It is however not waterproof as i found inadvertently in the laundry

Competitiveness

This is a top of the line monocular perhaps the best in a 10x25

Plenty of other monoculars are on the market but none so small and capable as this one
