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.

I’m going to be using this on my little outdoor adventures or even watching wildlife in my backyard. The monocular seems to be generally not recommended if you read up on them online. People was say that Binos are better in just about every way. The reason I bought this is that it’s small enough to always be with you and the best optics are going to be the ones that are with you. bought both 8x and 10x solos. I like the belt clip idea. Build quality seems ok, vortex is supposed to have a good warrantee policy. The 8x was very underwhelming. Clear and extremely stead but didn’t get me as close as I wanted. I ordered the 10x and was much more satisfied. It’s ever so slightly more unstable but I can actually see what I want to see. The two pictures of the rose bush are from around 30 ft or so. There’s a very small difference. It’s not until you look at an object farther away that the 10x really starts to shine. I’d actually be interested in a 12x but it seems most major brands don’t make a 12x monocular and most people think 10x is over kill for monoculars. I’m new to this but I’d rather use my naked eye than 8x in my humble opinion. I hardly ever order things to compare and send one back but the 8x will be getting returned this time round. Note* As an added bonus you can flip it around and look into the end backward and use it as a magnifier. I can see the lines of my finger prints in detail like a microscope. Could be handy in the right circumstance!

In optics, like everything else, you get what you pay for. For $110, I rate this as excellent. The Vortex does not have the super resolution of a Zeiss or Leica, but you aren't paying $300+ for it either. Don't get me wrong, the optics are clean and clear and I would buy another one of these if I ever lost this one. Construction is excellent. It's heavier than it looks in the pictures (hint: read the specs before you buy) it comes in at under a pound, but not by much. The only negative is that the included carry case has open sides and there are no lens caps. Not really a big deal considering that when using a mono in the field you're going to wear it around your neck or clip it to your belt for quick access - which means that lens caps would just get in the way during real-life use. Yeah, I'm happy with the performance - for $110, I'm really happy with the performance. Bottom line: Solid build, clear optics, easy to use, excellent design. If you have $100 to spend on a monocular, take a serious look at the Vortex 10x32.

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.

Good picture quality, bright and sharp. I would have liked the ability to completely remove the belt clip, but I do end up using the clip a lot so it's not so bad. Tough, already dropped it and it was totally fine, not even a mark.

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.

. 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

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
