The generation of Americans born from 1996-2012 are known as "Generation Z," or, colloquially, as "Zoomers." Whether or not GOVIEW intends to evoke the latest cohort of young adults, there's no denying that this is a forward-thinking--and forward-looking--new optic. Called the ZOOMR 8x25 monocular, it's designed specifically for outdoor and travel adventures where brilliant image quality is essential. It's also priced for someone getting started in the world of outdoorsmanship.

Thanks to its ultra-compact magnesium housing, the ZOOMR Mono 8x25 can fit in a jacket pocket, ready to use at lightning speed in spontaneous observation situations such as hiking, stadium events, birdwatching, wild-game scouting, and more. With the 8x magnification, you bring objects eight times closer, as if they were right in front of you, in razor-sharp color and clarity. And because the young might like personalization, it comes in four colors: Sunset orange, Miami blue, Light brown, and Phantom black.

Despite its price, this robust monocular has nitrogen filling for anti-fog qualities, and boasts fully multi-coated lenses. Its diopter adjustment and spacer are constructed of aluminum, and its short hinge design offers maximum ergonomics.

The ZOOMR Mono 8x25 comes with all the smart accessories the next generation has come to expect. The CLOSR smartphone adapter seamlessly connects the analog magnification of your monocular to the digital world of your smartphone, so you can effortlessly capture and share stunning images and videos. With the specially designed PORTR Mono strap with easy click closure, your ZOOMR Mono 8x25 is always at hand. The high-quality carrying case, made of robust fabric, has belt loops and a practical carabiner and additionally protects your monocular from dirt and rain. MSRP $149; GoView-US.com.
