I have one at home and use it to watch birds, deer, ducks, foxes and other wildlife on my property. The second one, I use for work inspecting utility poles. It’s light enough to carry without lugging me down and slip right into and out of a pocket with ease. The 10x magnification and stability is great for reading the names and numbers on overhead tags. It’s easy to use and pretty rugged with the rubber exterior. It is difficult to fog up and the optics are crystal clear. They are pricey but if you’re looking for a quick, rugged, clear & compact optic, this one works really well! Review: Great monocular. Great company. - I purchased this item in February 2021. I carry this when I hike or travel on my motorcycle. I use it mainly to observe wildlife. I like that it is light weight and that I can see clearly thru it. It has survived in temperatures between a little below zero to above 120 degrees. I keep it in the carrying case unless I take it out to use it. Three weeks ago I could not get it to focus. I got onto desertcart to order another and discovered it has a lifetime warranty. So went to Vortex website and contacted them about what happened. I received an email the next day with instructions and a label to send it in for repair or replacement. A new monocular arrived yesterday. I have purchased four Vortex rifle scopes, one Vortex binocular, and this monocular over the last five years. I am very pleased with the quality of their product. I had no idea there was a lifetime warranty with their products. Vortex is a great company and they produce a great product for my needs. I will definitely purchase more from this company. ## Features - 10x magnification and 25mm objectives lens, the Solo Monocular is a small, lightweight optic with fully multi-coated lenses, increasing the light transmission and resolution giving you the clear, crisp images you want. - The monocular is fully rubber armored providing a non-slip grip to the user and making it extremely durable. - Nitrogen purged and o-ring sealed, the Solo delivers waterproof and fogproof performance in any environment. - The adjustable eyecup allows for comfortable viewing with or without glasses. - Backed by our unlimited, unconditional, lifetime, VIP Warranty.

Does this not also hinder holding steady?** A: It's A LOT easier to hold steady a 8X than a 10x...not always you are going to be calm enough to hold steady a 10x...Steadiness it's crucial. **Q: Hi all, I've read many reviews, and the specs...but am still unclear about what the "close focus" is. 1 foot? 10 feet? thanks!** A: Close focus is 25 feet, a little fuzzy at 20 ft. I use mine to spot bullet holes in a target when shooting with iron sights at 50 yards. Works great! **Q: how close is close focus?** A: I am estimating it to be about 15 feet. Didn't find this out until after I bought it and started using it. Would have really liked something that was more like 5 to 6 feet, or closer. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality & compact size! *by D***R on August 11, 2025* I have two of these.

After an extensive online search and gathering of information this one made it. About the product: I went for the 10x36. The feel in hand is very good, hard rubber gripy and sturdy in general, it seems well made, with good fit and finish. No protective caps is good for practical carry and quick use, bad for storage, transportation or for people who cares about maintaining gear in good condition, I personally miss the caps, not only for scratch protection but for keeping the glass clean of fingerprints, it's really annoying having to be careful at handling. I don't use the pocket clip so I dismounted it but it's good to have the option, it works. The eye relief is good with or without glasses. It works perfectly with Vankey cellphone adapter, it allows using the focus wheel while mounted. The focus wheel is a little stiff as I see in other reviews, it's true, it's a 2 hand operation but works well, although when turning the wheel all the way to both sides I can hear a "sanding" sound, like it's fragile, but this is an assumption. The optical experience is good, I'm glad I went with the 36 objective because the light gathering is better than I expected. I can see a clear an very defined image, with just a bit of blue glare at the edge of objects, but it's really hard to notice, not something that I consider a negative at this price point, moreover this happens only when the object is with heavy bright contrast at the background. Up to 100m the focus is excellent, past that distance the focus is very hard to find, it always seems tiny bit off focus, this is the main negative I've experienced so far. The second negative is a very very short range of focus, my guess is about 2m. I constantly find myself having to refocus. Personal experience: The first time I use the cellphone adapter the eye relief plastic piece made a "crack" sound and came off. I red this in another review and it happened to me too. I found myself with the eye piece attached to the adapter in one hand and the monocular in the other with the glue exposed at the eyepiece, I thought it was over, but put it back together and it's like nothing happened. It's a very sticky soft glue I think that allows for this to happen but beeniusing it 2 weeks after that and it works fine. There is no tripod mount but the monocular it's so light that I rather use the tripod attached to the cell phone adapter instead when digiscoping and works well. I own a pair of old Simmons binoculars 7x50, I believe they are from the 90s, these binoculars deliver exceptionaly good optics, a great field of view and very generous range of fucus, I could say 100m range of focus, so I'm used to that experience, that's why I can't enjoy the short range of focus of this monocular. The only downside to my binoculars is the weight. General information: My options where between unknown (or barely known) Chinese brands and very expensive known and established brands. The expensive Leica and zeis where out of range mainly because I don't want to babycare gear, so I started looking at these chinese ones. It seems that all brands are the same, same factory, same quality control, etc. Only the marketing changes. Too many "top 10 best monoculars" videos that are obviously paid advertising. Product reviews by doubtful channels and lame or inexistant socialmedia presence. That doesn't give me so much confidence. In a deeper subject I red on a forum that chinese BAK4 is not really BAK4 and that there are not really any standards in the optics industry for using that term or the famous "fully multi coated". I'm aware Vortex are produced in China but there are some standards by well stablished brands. At least there is customer service and warranty. So I recommend to dig into this matter of optics specs and marketing schemes if you are really into optics. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics Solo Monocular 10x25 - Adjustable Eyecup, Fully Multi-Coated Lenses, Rubber Armor, Non-Slip Grip, Fogproof, Waterproof - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty - Mchoi Hard EVA Travel Case for Vortex Optics Solo Monocular 10x25, Case Only - GOSKY Smartphone Adapter Mount Regular Size - Compatible with Binoculars, Monoculars, Spotting Scopes, Telescope, Microscopes Fits almost all Smartphones on the Market Record Nature and The World --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1147421-optics-solo-monocular-10x25-adjustable-eyecup-fully-multi-coated-lenses](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1147421-optics-solo-monocular-10x25-adjustable-eyecup-fully-multi-coated-lenses) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
