Monoculars are ideal when size and weight are priorities. Monoculars are also a simpler design and easier to use. Binoculars will generally benefit from a wider field of view and more comfortable viewing experience, especially for long periods.

This monocular weighs 11.2oz, complete specs can be found our site here https://us.hawkeoptics.com/endurance-ed-8x42-monocular.html
