Vortex Solo Reviews

Convenient, Rugged

I am not a serious bird watcher but the Solo Vortex is with me on my daily walks. Good for sighting any animals without scaring them off. Clear view, clips to belt or fits in pocket when not in use.

Handy!

Birdwatching during a casual walk in the hood, don't want to carry my binoculars. These are easy to use, almost as good, and much less conspicuous. Fits in most pockets.

question

Does this have a zoom feature?
Asked by: Anonymous
No it does not. It has a fixed magnification. I find this monocular handy for travel due to its size and quality build. I have used it for both motorcycle and air travel.
