Description
With a generous objective lens, a stable image, and a housing designed to withstand the elements, the Solo 8x36 Monocular from Vortex is suited to birding, hiking, hunting, travel, sightseeing, concerts, sports, theater anywhere you want a good look at distant details. The Solo's 8x magnification has plenty of power for long-range observations, but is less susceptible to image shake than higher powered optics. The 36mm objective has light-gathering power for a bright image even at low-light times such as dawn and dusk. This combination of magnification and objective size yields a wide 60 apparent angle of view that's nearly 400 feet at 1000 yards. This monocular also offers a very useful close-focus distance of just 16.4 feet.Use the built-in utility clip to hang the monocular on your belt, strap, or pocket when you need your hands free. The rubber-armored housing is O-ring sealed for resistance to water and dust, and purged with nitrogen to prevent internal fogging no matter the conditions. The twist-up eyecup and 18mm eye relief make the monocular comfortable for people who wear eyeglasses. The monocular is compact at just 4.9 x 2.6" and fits easily in your weekend bag.Optical Performance 8x magnification36mm objective lensRoof prism for a compact form factorAntireflection fully multicoated optics improve light transmission, color rendition, clarity, and contrastUse and Handling Easy focusing collar around eyepieceAdjustable eyecup for full field of view when wearing eyeglasses393' field of view at 1000 yardsComfortable 18mm eye reliefBright 4.5mm exit pupil16.4' close focusConstruction Details Protective slip-resistant rubber armorO-ring sealed to be dust and waterproofNitrogen-filled for fog-free performanceIntegrated utility clip for belt, strap, or pocketCompact at 4.9 x 2.6"Lanyard & carrying case
