## Description

Review: NO DECISION NEEDED - I bought this monocular last year. I really enjoy it, for primary for bird watching and observing the neighborhood. It is about six inch long so doesn’t take a lot of room on my end table. Closest bird feeder is 8 ft away and focus is sharp. Furthest neighbor 200 yards away still good. Built like a tank. Case is good too. Focusing is a stiff but acceptable. Works GREAT for eyeglass wearers ( I should know). You will not for on moment regret your decision after you purchase this guy. No heavy double lens to mess with, just on target quickly. Just can’t say enough how good it is.
Review: Top of the line product for reasonable price. - Crisp lens, very light and easy to use, brightens objects - fantastic for bird/ nature lovers.

*by C***C on August 17, 2022*

Crisp lens, very light and easy to use, brightens objects - fantastic for bird/ nature lovers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good optics & the long eye relief makes it easy to use with eyeglasses
*by A***R on July 22, 2024*

I wanted a top-grade monocular for sightseeing uses, something that had great optics and long eye-relief. I took a chance and bought the DBA VHD+ without being able to find one to try locally. I am very happy with my decision. Attached picture is just to show what comes in the box - This information was hard to find pre-purchase. Comes with friction fit lens covers, an alternate rubber objective cover that includes a ‘leash’, a strap, a cleaning cloth and a nylon case that has a belt loop. The rubber-with-a-leash objective cover makes it difficult to use the nylon case.
