Review: Handy Small, Sturdy - Small can hold in your palm, Good material, but not able to focus near distance, good to closer look from 50-300 metres Review: Uzunluğu ve ağırlığı bir çakmak kadar olan bu dürbünün iyi iş yaptığını söyleyebilirim. 2000-2500 metrede güzel sonuç veriyor, dahasına yetmeyecektir. Bugünkü fiyatı da baz alındığında gayet ideal ve tercih edilebilir. ## Features - Close focus monocular that can be used for long distance or close focus viewing | Close Focus feature works up to 10 inches away from your subject - Magnification: 6x Power | Objective Lens Diameter: 18mm | Field of View: 427 feet at 1,000 yards - Extremely Compact and Lightweight Design | Weight: 2.8 ounces - Great monocular for low vision reading, sight seeing, travel, surveillance, nature viewing, bird watching, hunting and so much more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0010KZJXC | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,506 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #44 in Monoculars | | Department | unisex-adult | | Item model number | CF-618 | | Language | Swedish | | Manufacturer | Carson Optical | | Product Dimensions | 8.89 x 3.3 x 3.3 cm; 45.36 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Carson - **Eye piece lens description:** Fully Coated - **Model name:** CloseUp™ - **Objective lens diameter:** 18 Millimeters - **Optical tube length:** 18 Millimeters ## Images ![Carson CloseUp 6x18mm Close-Focus Monocular (CF-618) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FD8BZGL+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Handy Small, Sturdy *by J***. on 4 March 2024* Small can hold in your palm, Good material, but not able to focus near distance, good to closer look from 50-300 metres ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***) on 14 December 2025* Uzunluğu ve ağırlığı bir çakmak kadar olan bu dürbünün iyi iş yaptığını söyleyebilirim. 2000-2500 metrede güzel sonuç veriyor, dahasına yetmeyecektir.

It does what it says it would do. I did buy another monocular but it didn't do what was advertised. This is the real McCoy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Carson CloseUp 6x18mm Close-Focus Monocular (CF-618) - Carson MiniMight 6x18mm Pocket Monocular with Carabiner Clip (MM-618) - Carson BlackWave 10x25mm Waterproof Monocular, Black (WM-025) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/329780238-carson-closeup-6x18mm-close-focus-monocular-cf-618](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/329780238-carson-closeup-6x18mm-close-focus-monocular-cf-618) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
