Vortex Solo 10x36 mm Monocular

Good clarity and easy to use

Product is of good quality and clarity is good. But it looks like I have received a 2nd hand item.

It stopped working after 2 months

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

This is a superb piece of kit. My old monocular of 30+ years, having given up the ghost, I was looking for a replacement. This Vortex 10 x 36 is, in my (experienced but not expert) opinion, about as good as it gets. I have seen no sign of chromatic abberation (fringeing) and the viewing field is sharply focused practically right across. (On cheaper models it is often only the centre of the viewing picture that stays in focus) It is not very heavy and is comparitively small, fitting snugly in the hand thanks to the rubber armour. It is actually a very solidly put together optic and although I haven't dropped it yet (!) it looks and feels like it could easily survive occasional rough handling. Unlike others here, I had no problems with the focusing ring being stiff. Perhaps that problem has been fixed? In use, the Vortex offers up a bright, clear image. 10x magnification is about all you would effectively need, since anything more powerful would be almost impossible to use because of the natural movement you encounter with one-handed operation on a narrow field of view. What's critical is the diameter of the objective lens. Most monoculars have objective lenses of around 25mm. But the bigger this number, the more light gets in and the brighter and clearer the image you will see. Of course, the bigger the lens, the bigger the device, so a balance has to be struck. And, for me, Vortex have got it bang on with a 36 mm lens in a compact, rugged and, it has to be said, quite stylish looking device with superb optical performance. If I have to be picky, it's the case it comes with. This is open at the sides which can let dirt in. Also the belt loop is fixed with a press stud. This came undone on my first outing. However a bit of swift needlework has now permanently closed the loop, so problem solved. Lens caps would also be a real advantage. But the sheer optical quality, manufacturing excellence and performance in the field, to say nothing of the lifetime guarantee, are more than enough for me to give 5 stars. If you are looking for a powerful monocular with robust performance that could easily last you a lifetime, I recommend this without hesitation.

Ótima recepção de luz na lente. Só esperava um alcance maior

Anteriormente tenía otro monocular que pensaba que era decente. Al extraviaron me compré este y la verdad que ni comparación con el anterior. Este de la marca Vortex le supera en todo, gran nitidez de visión, más luminoso, en fin mucho mejor. Yo lo recomiendo.

明るさもあり、とても見やすい。
