Vortex Solo 8x36 Monocular -monokulaari

Vortex Solo 8x36 Monocular

Vortex Solo series monocular with 8x magnification and 36mm front lens.

This is the brightest monocular in the Vortex Solo series, and the one best suited for viewers who wear glasses.

The budget-friendly Solo series is aimed at users looking for a lightweight and compact device for nature observation and for those who don't want to carry regular binoculars with them.

The monocular is suitable for hiking, backpacking, excursions, hunters, and as an accessory in a nature photographer's backpack.

The 8x magnification is more reachable for observation, and is less susceptible to hand shake and other vibrations than a higher magnification unit. The combination of the 8x magnification and the 36mm front lens provides a 60-degree apparent field of view, which is approximately 131m at 1000m. The closest focusing distance is 4.9m.

Like most monoculars, the Vortex Solo is focused by turning the focus ring on the eyepiece end. The focus ring is thin, but the high ridges on the ring make it easy to see and turn, even with gloves on. Focusing from the closest focus distance to infinity requires less than one turn, so focusing is fast.

The rubberized body increases the impact resistance of the viewer, thus improving the chances of it being saved if accidentally dropped or bumped. The rubberized shell also improves grip, which is an important feature in damp or wet weather, as well as when wearing gloves.

The Solo monocular is waterproof. Thanks to the O-ring seals, the body is protected against moisture and dust, making the device waterproof. The seals are also airtight and the interior of the body is nitrogen-filled. This combination prevents fogging of the glass surfaces from the inside, as well as fogging, which often occurs when the temperature changes quickly, such as when going from a warm interior to a cold winter day.

The Vortex Solo 8x36 binoculars have an eye relief of 18mm. This is what makes this 8x magnification monocular stand out from the other monoculars in this series. 18mm is a sufficient size for most people who wear glasses, so the 8x36 is the best option for those who wear glasses.
