Review: Excellent quality & compact size! - I have two of these. 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: Worth It - Used these during archery deer and rifle elk this year. The glass used in these are incredibly clear for what you pay and are durable. I used the built in utility clip to attach them to the waste band of my pack. Not being use to having them on my pack I dropped the pack onto rocks twice but they took no damage. They were great for quick glassing for game as we moved from spot to spot. Perfect size and power magnification for hunts where you want to glass an area quickly. ## Features - 10x magnification and 36mm 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.

I plan to use it at concerts, while hiking and when sailing.** A: Since you mentioned sailing, get the 8x36 version. As power increases, hand shake becomes more noticeable. It's also worth noting the extra eye-relief the 8x has over the 10x: you'll appreciate the eye-relief if you wear corrective lenses and/or sunglasses. **Q: What is the length, circumference & weight of this monocular...? Can it be used 1-handed...?** A: 2" x 5" dk weight needs 2nd hand to focus but can use 1-handed if already focused. wonderful clarity of vision **Q: Is this "Made in U.S.A." product? China?** A: Hello, this is made in China? "Vortex Optics S136 Solo 10x36 Monocular" **Q: Also -- I wear progressive lenses (eyeglasses). Is there a better model to accomodate that?** A: I also wear progressive lenses - Like all monoculars, useing them is like looking thrugh a soda straw - This brand and model is better than the smaller, cheaper brands, but it will take some getting used to - learn to point with your nose, then bring the monocular to your eye - Best wishes ... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality & compact size! *by D***R on August 11, 2025* I have two of these.

The glass used in these are incredibly clear for what you pay and are durable. I used the built in utility clip to attach them to the waste band of my pack.

I’ve compared 8x and 10x *by D***L on May 28, 2024* I’m going to be using this on my little outdoor adventures or even watching wildlife in my backyard. The monocular seems to be generally not recommended if you read up on them online. People was say that Binos are better in just about every way. The reason I bought this is that it’s small enough to always be with you and the best optics are going to be the ones that are with you. bought both 8x and 10x solos. I like the belt clip idea. Build quality seems ok, vortex is supposed to have a good warrantee policy. The 8x was very underwhelming. Clear and extremely stead but didn’t get me as close as I wanted. I ordered the 10x and was much more satisfied. It’s ever so slightly more unstable but I can actually see what I want to see. The two pictures of the rose bush are from around 30 ft or so. There’s a very small difference. It’s not until you look at an object farther away that the 10x really starts to shine. I’d actually be interested in a 12x but it seems most major brands don’t make a 12x monocular and most people think 10x is over kill for monoculars. I’m new to this but I’d rather use my naked eye than 8x in my humble opinion. I hardly ever order things to compare and send one back but the 8x will be getting returned this time round. Note* As an added bonus you can flip it around and look into the end backward and use it as a magnifier. I can see the lines of my finger prints in detail like a microscope. Could be handy in the right circumstance! ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics Solo Monocular 10x36 - Utility Clip, 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 8x36 &10x25 / ROXANT Grip Scope View Monocular(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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/1144568-vortex-solo-monocular-10x36-utility-clip-adjustable-eyecup-multi-coated](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/1144568-vortex-solo-monocular-10x36-utility-clip-adjustable-eyecup-multi-coated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
