At this price point, I believe there is some value with this monocular.

Great product for this price. Very light clear and bright. No halo or aberration. Did not expect such a good product.

I usually don’t write reviews, but since I went through some extra effort here to trial 4 brands at the same time, so I hope this is helpful information.Background: I wanted to find a good monocular that I can easily throw in my fanny pack or in my pocket in case I need it … mainly for hiking, site-seeing, etc. This is a good time to establish the value of a monocular: It is strictly for go-anywhere compactness – the viewing image will never be as good as a pair of good binoculars (my compact Nikon 7x20 binocs are superior to any monocular I’ve tried). Onto my testing …I tried four different models – at different specs and price points (listed):Vortex Solo ($ 67.00, 10x25): Hi quality construction and grip BUT larger & heavier than most (wouldn’t want it in my pocket). Good optics quality BUT the eyepiece created interference with viewing and adjustment was very stiff.Carson Monozoom ($ 29.99, 7-21x21): Design was funky and the dual controls (separate for magnification (from 7 to 21) and focus made it difficult to use. Optics were just so-so … high magnification was too blurry, low mag was OK.Roxant Viper ($24.99, 10x25): Good quality, compact design (small/light enough to go in your pocket), and the easiest to use. Optics were surprisingly good and the adjustment was the easiest to use.Leonuoraso ($12.79, 10x22): OK quality and easy to hold and use – these were the smallest and lightest of the four. Optics were OK, with a bit lower light coming thru the smaller (x22) aperture.Decision: The Roxant Viper was a stand-out value, providing a good quality compact monocular that hit the right features and compromises – it will be my go-anywhere optics. Due to the super-low price, I also kept the Leonuoraso as a dedicated accessory for my RV (I recently went to Yellowstone and FORGOT to bring any optics – that won’t happen again . I wanted to like the Vortex Solo, but the size and eyepiece awkwardness made it easy to eliminate. The Carson was just too gimmicky and clunky to operate.

I bought this along with the similarly priced monocular from Celestron and Barska along with the much more expensive Vortex, all 10x25. I needed something small for quick and simple looks at targets, or for some nice views while hiking, in situations where a proper spotting scope was unnecessary. After comparing, the Roxant is the only one I kept and I'm very happy with it (Celestron was good too).Some details:The Barska was the only one with meaningfully inferior optics, mostly chromatic aberration. To my delight, both the Celestron and Roxant were close to if not comparable to the ostensibly higher quality Vortex, with the Roxant possibly just edging out the Celestron (no complaints with either).The Roxant mono's ergonomics are very similar to the Vortex, just slimmed down. I actually prefer this. The Vortex is built like a freakin' tank, which is great, but I intentionally wanted something small and light to keep on my belt and to grab at a moment's notice. For this the Roxant is a little better. Moreover, the placement and resistance of the focus dial on the Vortex made it just a little more awkward to use single-handed. Not a huge deal, but again subtle benefit to the Roxant.This of course is not even touching on the price. For $20-25 this is a fantastic piece of gear that I can just keep in my bag or belt without having to overthink it. The Roxant says it's waterproof, and it might be, but I haven't tested that. The Vortex makes the same claim, and build quality feels a little more reassuring, but the Roxant doesn't feel cheap and the truth is if it does get a little banged or beat up and I have to replace it, I can do that at least three times before matching the price of the Vortex... so yeah, great value.For what it's worth, the Celestron had perfectly acceptable optics and easy focus action as well. It's slightly less ergonomic (different traction and finger grooves), but by no means was it uncomfortable or difficult to use. Feels a little less rugged than the the Roxant though. For my purposes I went with Roxant, but if you like the Celestron better and are looking for a budget 10x25 mono I doubt you'll be disappointed.The ONLY critique I have, which isn't even that bad, is the case it comes with definitely does feel cheap. It's a very thin polyester rip-stop kind of material, compared to the Vortex which comes with a strong, beefy ballistic nylon case. With that said, for $22 I'm absolutely not complaining. If you do intend to have this on a belt or in a bag with things that can bump it maybe consider getting a different case; this one will get the job done though, just not super protective.

I am very happy that I found this optic! The clarity of the image and level of magnification are very impressive for such a small optic. I have several larger, heavier and more expensive optics that provide the same quality image! I like to keep a zoom optic handy at all times, and this is perfect for keeping in my truck and taking along when I hike. The Viper is incredibly small and light, yet still manages to feel very solid and durable. I love the feel of the molded case that provides a good grip, and it included a handy lanyard so I can hang it from my wrist when walking about and a carrying case for attaching it to a belt. As if that wasn't good enough for the price, I reached out to Roxant with comments about the product and got a great answer right away. Quality product, fair price, and excellent service: You can't ask for better than that! Roxant has made a fan out of me, I'll definitely be looking at their other products for my next optic purchase!

I think the ROXANT VIPER is awesome. It is easy to carry around because it fits into my pocket. Its very easy to use and has very good clarity. The reason i go the ROXANT VIPER is because i am registered severely sighted (blind). I have a bit of sight left and this is helping me to see things I never thought I could see. Its amazing. I have not stopped using it since i got it. The shipping was very fast. The quality is very good with the rubber outer casing and it feels good to hold. You can just tell it’s going last by the quality. I know that people that go walking and camping will use this but it can be used for so much more like people with severely sight impaired (blind) like me. I know this may sound corny but this has changed my life.

I have been on the hunt for another small scope like the Viper. No luck, all are 2 to 4 times larger.What I like about the Viper first is the size, then the range and magnification and always viewing quality.I mostly use the scope for my business, I am in the sign industry. Many signs go in high and hard to access locations.The scope allows me to see up close the actual location conditions, from anywhere I can see the location. And we need signs to be seen, right?The size being important because I’m in a safety vest with a handful of other tools and devises needed for the job. All needing to be light and compact.The 10x25 is great for my needs and the size is perfect, quality exceeds my requirements.So now this scope will live in my daily bag of import devises for my work. I won’t leave the office without it.
