Thinking more about this device, while it might not be a particularly good camera or monocular, it's an interesting change in form factor that could be useful.
Pocket sized long zoom cameras achieve their size by extending the lens when turned on, which is a nuisance and makes them vulnerable to lens barrel damage. This device is the save thing, but turned sideways so that the lens can be long, but fully internal. If they added some normal camera controls on the side, it could potentially work quite well.
