Vortex Solo Monocular 10x36

I have two of these. I have one at home and use it to watch birds, deer, ducks, foxes and other wildlife on my property. The second one, I use for work inspecting utility poles. It’s light enough to carry without lugging me down and slip right into and out of a pocket with ease. The 10x magnification and stability is great for reading the names and numbers on overhead tags. It’s easy to use and pretty rugged with the rubber exterior. It is difficult to fog up and the optics are crystal clear. They are pricey but if you’re looking for a quick, rugged, clear & compact optic, this one works really well!

Not a bird watcher, but rather a infantryman veteran that wanted something compact and easy to pack that's high quality. I'm not doing bounding overwatch, but handling it seems rugged enough for my purpose. It's really easy to use and even though some had trouble adjusting the focus one handed, I had no trouble at all. The image quality is pretty good, and it's quite powerful for it's size and weight. I haven't tried it in low light situations yet, but so far I really like it. I do wish it had some lense and eye cup covers, but that's my only gripe so far.

Used these during archery deer and rifle elk this year. The glass used in these are incredibly clear for what you pay and are durable. I used the built in utility clip to attach them to the waste band of my pack. Not being use to having them on my pack I dropped the pack onto rocks twice but they took no damage. They were great for quick glassing for game as we moved from spot to spot. Perfect size and power magnification for hunts where you want to glass an area quickly.

After some use in the field: May look like a plastic potato but the image sharpness and color fidelity are first rate even in challenging light conditions. Because the lenses are deeply recessed, end caps aren't necessary in the field and combined with the heavily armored body this scope is fast to the eye without any fuss. One problem is that the focus ring is very stiff and very unfortunately located, making this scope quite difficult to focus even with two hands.

I recently purchased Vortex Solo 10x36. I am pleased with the functionality and build quality of the mono and would recommend it to friends. I especially appreciate the Vortex unconditional guarantee. I have a wide range of optical products including binoculars (several), monoculars, various scopes (many), and ranging devices. I have had no problems and have been quite pleased with previous Vortex products (spotting scope and high-end binoculars). I typically use my Solo out on hikes and bird watching when I don’t want to lug the much heavier binocs. The Solo is replacing an older pair of Nikon binocs (8x25) that has a hinge wearing out. The mag difference between the 8x binocs and the 10x Solo is quite noticeable. The Solo also has noticeably better brightness and image crispness than the small binocs. Of course the field of view (FOV) of the Solo is significantly smaller. Size wise the Solo is 5 in tall and 2 inches in diameter fitting nicely in a one-hand hold. The focusing ring inboard of the eyepiece is rather stiff. I typically use my off hand to focus. The lanyard loop is large and designed to be worn around the neck. A belt clip is attached. However, a screw hole for tripod mounting is lacking as are lens covers.

. Anyone familiar with optics knows there is no getting around cheap glass. Spotting scopes under $300 are pretty much useless. Astronomy scopes under $500 will bring you limited satisfaction. That being said, this little monocular is a handy piece of optics in lieu of binocs or a larger scope. It would either be something to keep in your vehicle or if outdoors, have attached to your pack for a quick look at something. I'm glad I got the x36 rather than the x25 as it gives you a lot of light, clarity, and field of view. And you just can't beat the price; it's quite remarkable1

I bought this for bow hunting and camping/hiking. i tried out a bunch of differrnt binos and found that what I wanted was a good quality mono. I chose this after trying out several at gmountain. it is a little bulky for a mono but still smaller and lighter than all equivalent binos. the 36 obj lens makes it excellent at dusk and the 10x is more than adequate, even for rifle hunting, to ID animals. Some have said the adjuster is to stiff but i prefer it stays where i set it. I can still adjust it with just my thumb. comes with a belt clip, which I removed since I hang it arount my neck, also making it even more comfortable to hold. I did rig it up in my bino straps instead of the supplied lanyard as the lanyard isnt comfortable longterm and lets it flop around while walking and could hang up in my ghily suit or bow string. The optics are quite clear and holding it steady is just a matter of practice. I am very happy with this even tho its made in china, they seem to have done a good job with this.

Can never go wrong with vortex but this thing is amazing easily fits in a pocket not bulky like binoculars. Nice clear view easy to focus

This is the second one i bought. My husband uses it kayaking and has had it for many years, rolling around in his boat and finally the part around the lens came off. More from wet and abuse than fault of product. He loves it and keeps commenting how clear it is.

Fantástico! Era obsequio pero el final lo decidí conservar para mi porque me gustó mucho jajaja

握りやすく滑りにくい、そして良く見える。単眼鏡ですが片目瞑らなくても不自由なく見えますね、覗いてない方の目で向きに当たりをつけつつ使えば見たい対象も直ぐ見つかります。

sehr guter klarer Durchblick, liegt gut in der Hand, guter Zoom, kann am Gürtel befestigt werden, wird mit einer Tasche geliefert.

Ça respire la qualité , livré avec un étui que je trouve très pratique avec en plus une petite dragonne autour du cou et un essuie vitres. Lumineux , propre , large ... la luminosité est pareil qu’avec nos propres yeux on peut distinguer beaucoup de détails Les deux seules défauts constatés sont le poids ( Qui est compréhensible pour que la lunette soit solide ) Et la vue qui n’est pas vraiment stabilisé
