The new Steiner Miniscope is made to offer incredible clarity and bright images in a new pocket-sized design. Measuring just 2" high by 2" wide, this 8x22mm monocular is small enough to travel in a pocket, purse or pack.

The 8x magnification brings you closer to the action or the view and makes it ideal for hiking, traveling, sporting events, concerts or the theater. Featuring Steiner's Sports-Auto-Focus system, once the Miniscope is focused for your eyes, everything from 65 feet to infinity will be clear and sharp. High-Contrast lens coatings deliver the same clarity and brightness found on much larger optics. It features an ergonomic design that's easy to hold and use with just one hand. Weighing in at just 2.8 ounces, it won't slow you down.

"The Steiner Miniscope was designed for today's active lifestyle and people on the go," says Tom Frane, VP of Sales, Marketing and Business Development. "The compact design and ultra-light weight make it easy to carry, easy to pack and inexpensive to own. Although it's our smallest optic, it features the precision, quality and reliability found on all Steiner optics."

The new Miniscope comes with a convenient carrying case with belt loop. The MSRP is $114.99. It is available at Steiner dealers nationwide.
