M.1 - 8x42 / 10X42
The M.1 Monocular takes inspiration from the clean design of our compact B.3 and B.7 binoculars and pushes simplicity even further. Built with the same premium glass, Schmidt-Pechan prism, and 42mm objective lens as our flagship B1.2, it delivers high-end optical performance in a lightweight, single-handed format.
Whether stashed in your truck or slipped into a coat pocket, the M.1 is built for mobility without sacrificing clarity. It’s our top pick for everyday use - ideal for treestand hunts, birding, or general wildlife viewing when you want less bulk and more convenience.
Part of the Maven B Series, our elite line of optics, the M.1 offers premium performance at a fraction of the price of top-tier binoculars. Designed for the modern outdoorsman, these optics blend best-in-class materials with cutting-edge tech to deliver an uncompromising experience in the field.
Includes wrist strap, lens caps, and double-layered microfiber storage bag.
