New Maven M.1 & M.2 Direct-to-Consumer Monoculars

Maven has just rolled out the red carpet for their latest direct-to-consumer launches: the M.1 and M.2 monoculars. These new, higher magnification monoculars are the successors to the Maven B.1 and B.6 binoculars, with the M series featuring a much more compact and lightweight design for quick glassing or just less bulk and weight in your kit when you don’t need the comfort that binoculars offer.

New Maven M.1 & M.2 Direct-to-Consumer Monoculars

LANDER, Wyo. (Sept. 10, 2025) – Maven Outdoor Equipment Company, a Wyoming-based direct-to-consumer brand known for offering world-class optics at affordable prices, has expanded its lineup with the introduction of the M.1 and M.2 Monoculars. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want premium glass in a lightweight, single-barrel format, the new monoculars bring Maven’s flagship-level performance into compact, durable bodies.

The M.1 (10×42) takes inspiration from Maven’s acclaimed B1.2 binocular, delivering the same crisp clarity and edge-to-edge sharpness in a pocket-friendly form. The M.2 (12×50) draws on the optical system of the B.6 binocular, offering increased magnification and enhanced low-light performance, making it ideal for extended-range observation.

“With the success of the B1.2 and B.6 optical systems, we wanted to bring that same high-end performance to a more compact, one-handed format,” said Mike Lilygren, Maven Co-Founder. “The M.1 and M.2 monoculars are built for those who value portability but want the very best in optical quality.”

Both models feature premium ED glass, Schmidt-Pechan prisms, IPX7 waterproof construction, and Maven’s trusted ergonomics. The M.1 weighs just 14.7 ounces while the M.2 comes in at 20.0 ounces, ensuring easy carry and durability in the field.

The M.1 10×42 ($450) and M.2 12×50 ($500) Monoculars are now available at www.mavenbuilt.com. Like all Maven products, they are built with durability in mind and backed by the company’s unconditional lifetime warranty.

We’ve done plenty of reviews of Maven’s products here on TFB in the past, and for the most part, I think most of the crew here would agree that Maven’s optics, while not the cream of the crop, do offer quite a compelling combination of price and performance. If you’re ready to upgrade your field kit or just want a solid new option that’s easy to pack and built for adventure, Maven’s new M Series seems set to impress. That’s the latest for today— let us know what you think in the comments.
