Customer Reviews Summary

I love my new Nocs Zoom Tube monocular and microscope accessory attachment so much!I bought the Nocs Provisions Zoom Tube 8x32 Monocular and the Nocs Provisions Inspector Microscope 4X Multiplier Lens. (Items sold separately.)This thing is the best!I have been trying to replace an old 8 x 20 Hoya monocular-microscope that I bought way back in the 1980’s from REI in Seattle when I was just a teenager. I’ve used and loved that Hoya for 40+ years.(TY Hoya! I really hate to have to retire my old friend but it gave me many, many years of loyal service!)Unfortunately, the Hoya microscope attachment got crushed several years ago and I’ve looked for a replacement for the item occasionally over the years without success. I was so happy when I finally found this Nocs Zoom Tube monocular with a microscope attachment that I bought the items right away!First, it’s a perfectly good 8 x 32 monocular. It measures about 5.5 x 2.5 inches (about 14 x 6.2 cm) and weighs about 9-10 ounces (about 250- 285 grams or so).The monocular is easy to use and offers a very good view for such a small item. I use it while out-and-about to look at birds and other critters. The Zoom Tube is about the size of a smallish to medium-sized flashlight. It will fit in a pants or jacket pocket easily enough. It would fit in a day-use sized backpack with no problem at all. And best of all, it is small and light enough to pack for travel or extended camping so I can leave my heavy, bulky binoculars home.The microscope attachment is amazing. I’m using it now to do some detailed work on a fish fossil that I am cleaning (see picture) but also use it to look at all kinds of other things I find while out hiking.The microscope attachment is about 3.5 x 2.5 (9 x 6 cm) inches in size. I don’t know what it weighs but it’s easily half the weight of the monocular.The monocular is both sturdy and rubberized. It has a bracket for mounting on a tripod and comes with a wrist strap. The Zoom Tube is water resistant. (The Field Tube is Nocs waterproof monocular). The Microscope 4X Multiplier Lens is also listed as waterproof.The microscope attachment is much bigger and wider than my old Hoya, which is pleasing. The clear plastic visualization frame allows the unit to stand freely and allows maximal light to enter the field of view. The frame itself has two openings that can allow you to slide longer items that are less than about 1.5 inches (about 4 cm) wide and 1.5 inches tall through the visual field. The openings can also be used to reach a finger or probe into the field of view to reposition an item being viewed. It is certainly bigger, thicker, more sturdy, and less delicate than my old Hoya microscope attachment.The Nocs is about twice the physical size of my old Hoya that I’m replacing but that’s not a bad thing; the Hoya was nicely compact for sure but it was also a little on the small side. The Nocs is big enough to allow for better views overall but still small enough to carry and travel well.Nocs- a couple of suggestions:One, I would make the threads that join the two pieces a little larger. The threads are very small and thin. Since this is an outdoor-use item, I would make the threads that join the two pieces less refined since it’s safe to assume that some bits of dirt from regular use will eventually find their way into the threading and foul them over time. This is not a deal-breaker by any means though.Second, I’d also offer a protective case that would hold both items separately in one case. A case that would make it easy to get the monocular and/or the microscope attachment easily while out and about would be super nice! I lost my old Hoya because the case I hand-made for it years ago eventually failed, allowing the microscope attachment to get crushed. Of course I’ll be making something to protect my favorite new toy but if you sold one that held both items I would prefer to and would definitely buy one.I love this product so much! While I still have much love for my old Hoya and the years of service it gave me (even though part of it is broken now), the Nocs is a better item due to its larger Zoom Tube objective lens and the microscope’s larger field of view.If I had lots of money I would buy a Nocs Zoom Tube and Multiplier Lens microscope attachment for everyone I know and give them as gifts so everyone could enjoy one!
