Pocket telescope

Can anyone recommend a good monocular for hiking use? In rough order of preference I'm looking for some or all of these features:

• Available in Britain, either directly or to import
• Not made using forced labour
• High magnification - at least 30x
• Robust
• Ability to clip to a camera (phone or other)
• 1/4" tripod mount
• Zoomable
• Small - ideally not much more than 6" long
• Good light-gathering

I know the last two in particular are contradictory in an optical device, but I've seen some that do good compromises. I'm looking to spend around GB£50, but might be persuaded to up the budget if there's something really good out there. I might be persuaded to spring for compact binoculars instead, but am trying to minimise the size and price.
