With the Vortex Solo 8x36 in your pocket, you'll always have the target in your sights very quickly. Despite its small size, this compact monocular boasts 8x magnification. You can also view vast landscapes with a field of view of over 130 meters. You can calculate your distance to a subject by comparing it to an object of which you know the size. You can do this with the integrated tactical scope. Thanks to the fully multi-coated lenses, the Vortex Solo 8x36 has optimal light transmittance, and because the monocular is filled with nitrogen, your lenses will stay fog free.

Handy viewer, crosshairs clearly visible. Unfortunately no lens hoods, but a handy case. Lens rubber can be folded away so that the viewer can also be used with glasses.

Good Monocular especially for this money!
- Easy to use
- Good picture
- Rubber at eye bends quickly
I bought this monocular to get a quick look when I'm walking in nature. There is an option to estimate distances. The "crosshair" is not too thick and does not interfere with viewing natural beauty. Overall happy with my purchase so far.
