Review: Excellent! - Excellent product. Will focus down to 10 inches, so magnifies by 7 at 10 inches. Arrived very promptly. Plastic, yes but it feels sturdy. Small and light so easy to carry. Also good focusing at long range, so a versatile product that is very good value for money.
Review: Usable in art galleries - I bought the Carson 7x18 CloseUp Close Focus Monocular for use in art galleries, to get a magnified view of details in paintings. The monocular gives a sharp enough image for this, and acceptable brightness, even in the subdued lighting of a museum gallery. At 7x magnification, and being hand-held, the monocular always has to be held very carefully to avoid noticeable "shake" of the image. It is very useful for limited periods of inspection of details, but I would not find sustained gazing comfortable. At a quarter of the price of a specialist 4x magnification "gallery scope" (which might make shaking of the image a little less) I find the Carson product an attractive balance of cost to usefulness.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what are the dimensions?**
A: 3" x 1.3" x 1.5"

**Q: Will this allow me to see the on screen text that is displayed on my TV from my cablebox  such as the eletronic program guide? I have low vision.**
A: It might.  Sometimes I have trouble reading the satellite program guide from Dish Network without getting up from the armchair and the scope helps with that.  But it depends too upon your TV set resolution.  Cheaper and older analogue sets can be difficult to read fine text with -- even close up.

**Q: Does it come with a case?  How do you protect the lense?**
A: What I got had a draw string case.

**Q: What’s the exact weight ?  In one description it says 2.8 oz, but another description says 1.62 oz. And does it have a rubber coating or is it metal ?**
A: Hello, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will make sure to update the information in all the descriptions for this product. 
The correct weight of the CF-618 CloseUp is 1.62 oz. The structure is made of ABS plastic with rubber paint coating in some sections.
