How does the 25mm objective lens perform in low light conditions such as dawn or dusk?

The compact 25mm objective lens produces a 3.1mm exit pupil, which limits light gathering compared to larger 42mm or 50mm optics. While it excels for mid-range daytime observation across open and forested terrain, it is not optimized for deep dawn, dusk, or heavily shadowed thick bush glassing.

Can the Hawke Endurance ED 8x25 Monocular focus on close-up targets?

This monocular has a minimum close focus distance of 5.0 metres (16.4 feet). If you need to view subjects closer than this, such as for detailed macro-style observation, you would need to look at an alternative optic with a shorter close-focus distance.

Does this monocular require any Australian electrical certifications or battery compliance?

No, the Hawke 36310 is a purely passive optical device containing no electronics, laser systems, batteries, or mains power connections. Therefore, Australian electrical standards, 240V mains compatibility, and SAA or RCM compliance are not applicable to this product.

Is it possible to mount the Hawke 36310 monocular to a tripod for stable, long-duration viewing?

This model features a lightweight, handheld-only optical design weighing just 150g and does not include a tripod mounting thread. It is engineered for rapid, single-handed pocketable carry rather than long-duration stationary observation that requires image stability.

8x25 Monocular - Hawke 36310

The Hawke Endurance ED 8x25 Monocular (Green) is an ultralight, pocket-sized roof-prism optic designed for quick, single-handed daylight glassing. Featuring Hawke's System H5 optics, Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass, and phase-corrected BAK-4 prisms, it delivers sharp colour fidelity and high-contrast imaging while minimising chromatic aberration. Housed in a waterproof, nitrogen-purged rubber-armoured body measuring 105 mm in length and weighing just 150 g, this compact monocular fits into a shirt pocket for immediate optical scouting in the field.

Key Features

ED Optical System: Extra-low Dispersion glass and Fully Multi-Coated (FMC) lenses provide clear light transmission and true colour reproduction across an apparent 54° field of view.
Phase-Corrected Prisms: High-resolution BAK-4 roof prisms feature phase correction coatings to maximise contrast and image clarity.
Weatherproof Chassis: Nitrogen-purged housing prevents internal fogging and ensures complete waterproof performance in wet conditions.
Single-Handed Handling: Ergonomic green rubber armouring with a 35 mm diameter profile and a twist-up eyecup allows rapid one-handed operation on the move.
Protective Accessories: Supplied with stay-on objective lens covers, a carry pouch, a protective case, a lanyard, and a lens cloth.

Who is the Hawke Endurance ED 8x25 Monocular for?

Ultralight backpack hunters — Needs an unobtrusive scouting tool that cuts carry bulk, utilizing an ultra-compact 150 g chassis and 8x magnification for rapid daytime target verification without adding pack fatigue.
Mobile bushwalkers and hikers — Needs a shirt-pocket optical glass for mid-range wildlife observation, benefiting from a 119 m @ 1,000 m field of view and 13 mm eye relief in an easily deployable 105 mm long housing.

Less suitable for: Glassing in deep dawn, dusk, or heavily shadowed thick bush where the 3.1 mm exit pupil restricts light gathering (better suited to a larger 42 mm or 50 mm optic), viewing subjects closer than the 5.0 m minimum focus limit (better suited to a close-focus optic), or stationary long-duration observation requiring a tripod-mounted spotting system.
