The monocular is handy to have. It has a very clear view and is light weight and easy to access quickly. Take it with you indoors and out.I own other Vortex optics and I believe their value is second to none.Get one, you'll like it.

It has taken me some time to get used to a monocular, but I find it easier and easier to use. As others have noted the optics are not the same as even a modest set of bins; however, I can use the lanyard and tuck it into a shirt pocket and hardly know that it is there.

I was shocked at how bright and clear this monocular was. It focused easy and is comfortable to hold. I wish it had covers for the lenses but the carrying case pretty much takes care of that. It works very good in the woods to look at animals. I would definitely buy it again

I am very pleased with the Solo 8x25 Monocular by Vortex. It is a 8x power that is very handholdable without jitter in the viewfinder. I wish it had a zoom feature but I didn't see that feature when I was in the market to purchase a monocular.

Bought for travel when carrying binoculars is just too bulky. This is a perfect size, has clear full field of vision. Seems very durable with cushioned grip. Easy to focus. Would recommend to others.

The optical quality is good for the price. I have the 10x25mm and it is very compact and light. The best gear is the gear you can carry with you anywhere and that is why I got the solo. I can put it in my pocket for walks so I can bird or view wildlife, or take it hunting or hiking with ease.

I'm an LEO/ SWAT Team member and I have purchased a couple of these for work. I carry one in my duty bag for patrol. The other one I carry in a small pouch on my tac vest. The solo is perfect for those times you can't afford to carry a traditional set of binoculars.

Bought this for compactness and tree stand hunting its simple focuses well crisp clear image great glass awesome little optic and very handy its very durable couldnt ask for more in a simple magnifying optic.

The Solo 10x25 is just great. My wife loves it so I find my use time limited, it looks like I will have to get another.

As I'm a Scotsman it took me some time to final buy my monocular and I'm very happy to say I bought this 8x36 solo.As alway Vortex Opics are of high quality.
