Good quality optics. Good luminosity (I used the 10x25 Solo for a few years, and it was very hard to see in low light - morning and evening, when I use it most.This one is just great in low light.The reticle is very useful for ranging distances and doesn't get in the way.Clarity adjustment for distance and reticle (two separate adjustments) work just fine - so can be adjusted to be used without prescription glasses.The rubber ocular extender (flip back when using with glasses, extend when using without glasses) cracked all around first time I flipped it... Poor quality rubber. And I don't think it's easily replaceable. But can be used without...Overall, very useful light and compact piece of kit, and great value for money (I've got it on sale).

Exactly the great quality I expect from Vortex. Wow - this brings the picture right to you and your other eye is able to see the 'big picture' at the same time, whether finding the item of interest or just watching the scenery (for flanking predators!) Fits my hand perfectly which really makes the shake less, with that and the soft eye cup against your face it gives it three degrees of freedom to hold steady. Works well with or without my eyeglasses or sunglasses. Separate adjustments for reticle focus and object focus, make it so you can adjust for your exact eyes, whether nearsighted, farsighted, astig, it is all adjustable this way, for a perfect picture. Excellent carrying case (to cover the optics) slightly padded, with belt loop; monocular has wide and strong belt clip, lanyard attaches if you want.

C'est le top pour observé tout ce que vous voulez avec une taille vraiment pratique et pour resté discret c'est du bon tactique ! Legé, lumineux, ça rapproche vraiment bien ,j'aime beaucoup surtout pour les marchés en nature etc ...ça a l'air du costaud,après si on en prend soin aucun souci c'est du bon matos vortex donc les commentaires négatif je pense il sont du faire tombé le monoculaire sur le sol ou autre car ça ce casse pas en regardant mdr 🤣 comme je le répète c'est du bon matos c'est pas un monoculaire de chez Lidl a un moment faut arrêter la vous balancé 160 balle c'est quand même pour un matos à la hauteur du prix !!! Bref pour moi il es top ,même pour évaluer la distance je trouve précis même si je sais pas encor exactement la distance Exact avec les graduation mai voilà superbe qualité et design tactique donc pour moi c'est une petite merveille. Hésité pas et foncé ça vaut les 160 balle 👍😉

I received this item more than a few days ago and it is very lightweight with exceptional clear glass view! I was skeptical getting a monocular over $100 but this one was worth it. Can’t beat the lifetime warranty for peace of mind if anything happens to it. I have range easily over 50 yards and without much shake holding one handed/arm. The offset Range markers on the glass are spot on +- here and there but it’s all about your own perceptions of the size of the objects that you are scoping /ranging to. The focus dials are a bit stiff to move but over time it wont be an issue for me. I prefer it stiff so that I don’t have to refocus dials out to the 50 yards I’ve set to The 10x42 monocular I got before was a bit heavier and one handed/arm does shakes a lot. Some product enhancement I would suggest is to add a universal tripod mount so that you can put this on a tripod. Unfortunately this does not have one, but the metal clip can be attached to a magnet and then to a stand of some sort. There are people selling custom mounts so I’m considering. The metal clip is very durable and would like to see a more rounded off clip to allow more of a softer hold to it. The extended eyecup will not stay down unless you hold it down but I’m confident over time it will stay down on itself when you fold it over when needed. There are no covers for the front or back of it so I will be looking for a pair soon. The glass/weight/consistent accuracy and mobility is why I’m keeping this which will now be a family heirloom. Vortex does have a larger monocular but cost 4x/5x as much. May get that one also one day.

During my research for a monocular I repeatably was confused if there was a reticule marking range estimates (Mrad) or not.This does.Construction:Very solid. This is in no way cheaply built. Conforms to the hand nicely too.Controls:You have two controls, image focus and reticule focus.image focus is obvious but the reticule focus is for some kind of past complaint that the reticule would be blurry.Basically - set it so it's perfect and never touch it again.Carry case:This made me laugh when I saw it. It's "custom" all right. Doesn't mean it's good. nudge it a bit and your optic might fall out. Nice big open spot to let the environment scratch the lens.The belt loop is a snap on loop. Not sturdy for a pound heavy monocular. If you're climbing and it falls loose, your consolidation is it's in the case as it falls I suppose.My advice?Sew the loop so it's permanent.Turn the case inside out and sew patches of cloth on both sides closing the gaps. I had some leather lying around (black leather) and sewed it on. Looks 10x better and 100x more sturdy. Beats buying a new one and after all, it is "custom" made for it. Too bad they didn't spend an extra 20c on cloth for each one but oh well.Reticule:Uses Mrad measurement. Basically you need to know the height in yards and how many mrads it takes. TargetHeightx1000/mrads.very accurate. Tested it out on some houses (using 10ft for a story) and cross referenced with Google Earth - correct distance.If you hate math, go for the cheaper non reticule sponsoring monocular. I think they're $90.Optics:Very clear. It's harder to tell what I'm looking at as quickly as binoculars and harder to see with at night vs binoculars.But remember you're using 1 eye vs 2.With that in mind, These are perfect flawless optics. It reflects very little of the sun which is great as it reduces glare and bright reflections.Pro'sFor price - very well made.Unconditional, transferable lifetime warranty.Accurate distance measurement.ConCarry case is cheap and needs work.Summary:for the price, if you're looking for great optics, this is great in every way that matters. I would buy a new one if this ever broke.Which I wouldn't have too, because of the warranty.
