Great for backpacking

Got this monocular to take backpacking and hiking. Feels solid and great in hand. Very clear optics and the compact size is great!

I have not got to

I have not got to use it but one fishing trip so far. Plan on using it during turkey and deer season. It is easier to carry than a pair of binoculars. I only have one good eye, so don't need binoculars. It seems to be clear and gather light well. Wish it came with lens covers for the wa rainy hunting seasons. If you're looking for something more compact and lighter to carry around, this would be a good choice.

My wife has a hard

My wife has a hard time using regular binoculars and mentioned how she needed only one side. I figured the Vortex monocular would be perfect, and with their warranty, it's hard to beat. Now she has something she can use and I get to keep my Vortex binoculars.

Terrible

Absolute worst design ever. The optic itself works great BUT the design of the belt clip is trash. My very first trip out scouting I put it on my belt after getting out of the truck and after about a miles hike, i reached for it and it was gone. Apparently the strap was unsupportive! Would only recommend if vortex fixes that issue.

Fantastic Monocular

Tried it out on two boat rides, one that ran along the Chena River in Fairbanks Alaska and another boat ride to see the Kenai Fjords, it worked very well on seeing the wildlife. Also used it in Jasper np, banf np and Yellowstone np, and it worked wonderfully as well. All my friends that tried it out, loved it and were amazed by the power it has for a 10x36

Works Better Than Expected

I bought this so that I could have something light and small to do quick spotting with. The clarity is far better than I would have ever expected. If there was one thing I would change, it would be to have attached lens caps. As it comes, there are no lens caps at all. I know that Vortex will repair/replace any damaged items, but that doesn't really help me if the lenses get dirty while I'm out in the woods.

Just receiverd mine - I regret nothing!

I was undecided between the Vortex Solo 10X36 and the Hawke Endurance ED 10x42. The price swayed the decision towards the Vortex. Looking now at what I've got, I can say it was the right choice for my needs. The build quality is as expected, the image is good, and the side clip is a very smart and useful detail. Can't wait to test it on my first trip on the forest trails!

10 power fixed

Received as a gift. Well made and great Vortex quality but thought the 10 x 36 was the variable magnification. Can't use it to replace a spotting scope at rifle range. I'll stick with binocs for hunting.

Vortex Monocular

This is a great little monocular. I mostly use it while im fishing to check out the Osprey and Bald Eagles. Very clear and works well in low light. Honestly, i'm a vortex fan and own several vortex scopes, binos, red dots, etc... and they always perform well.

Great picture but not fun to use

I had high expectations of using this on my hunt in NC for Whitetail and found it highly annoying to have to close one eye all the time. The monocular had a crisp picture and is easy enough to adjust, but its not very useful in long range situations. It would be more useful for trekking in the woods to a long hunt and scanning shorter distances for horns. I am going to put this to rest in the back of my hunting gear and buy myself an upgraded binocular instead.

Great optic for the truck

Clear glass you can expect from Vortex. I'm certain others who spend more on optics convince themselves it's better because they paid more. Remember being the first at the camp with a vortex scope. Everyone "who's Vortex" they are ALL running Vortex optics now. Looked through $2,000 Swarovski and my Vortex was brighter, sharper and untouched on warranty and customer service. Why would you buy anything else. Customer for life

Spotting aircraft

I used this product while supervising personnel around military aircraft as a safety officer. I was able to observe and communicate with personnel in and around jet aircraft from a distance with accuracy. The zoom and lens worked great and the focus adjustments were easy to dial in.

Quick and handy

By OSHA h.

My friends always make fun of me for buying and using this monocular when we are out hunting but it's a versitle tool to have. I attach it to my Bad Lands bino case with the Molle webbing. It's perfect for when you're packing a rifle in one hand and using the other for the monocular for fast identification. If I need a second look, I simply slide the metal clip through the Molle webbing and use my binoculars. It has saved my butt more than once.

Like this more. Than Binoculars

By The n.

Bought it a while back and very happy with it I like the fact it's small . Like the fact I can see. Out to 1000 yards with it for a little optic like this . Would. Definitely buy another 1 if I had to have had it out in the. Woods and has preformed well I give it to 2 thumbs and a 90 degree toe as. Well highly recommend
