Vortex Monoculars 

Happy to help out.

@@wisemencompany Watch my videos comparing monoculars, you should like it

Thank you so much.

I agree. Some amazing specimens. Their "plumage" is fascinating

The Birb is a simple species able to derive great joy from merely existing. They’re very enjoyable to observe

glad it helps

Cheers 🍻

Can you adjust the "zoom"with it or is it only at 8x ?

How did you find your monocular

@@littlebull8881 amazon has it last i checked.

Tripod Brand: Manfrotto Tripod head: Manfrotto - Grip ball head. Tip - if buying sturdy Tripod, get the 4x leg-sectioned & buy Carbon fibre..Manfrotto. Will fold small, weigh little.. *Or transporting the long-Legged, heavyweighted Tripods can cause injury & ruin a trip.

For hunting binos out west, most people think 12x too shaky for handheld use and opt for 10x. And 15x binos are used almost exclusively on tripods. I don't think a monocular would have any reason to fair better than the binos, and I noticed in the video at 6:55 that he indeed had his mono 15x on a tripod.

Same here, I think I’m going to buy the Solo R/T

Yup. Howdy, brother!

So you don’t see in stereo?

50% a waste to be exact.

Japenese glass maybe

I will second this question. They seem nearly identical, so why the price difference?

Solo - made in China vs Recce - made in Japan. Recce has better glass, and even with the small reduction in objective size, you get markedly better color, clarity, and definition. The Recce also has attached lense covers, and furthermore, better build quality.

Seems to me like Vortex is actually not interested in selling the Recce Pro. They don't explain the price difference enough....

Those are all passive monoculars, with glass lenses .... sure they don't have a digital zoom, weird question.

The Solo is a wee bit lighter, to boot.

I'm looking at the Reece after ordering (and returning the Solo R/T). It comes down to design details and use case. One thing to note for my situation is that I am left handed. The Solo R/T's clip is located on the segment that houses the reticle itself (and is set up for right-handed use so the clip is located on the left side). So when I rotate that element so the clip doesnt get in my way (clip is now located on the right side) the reticle marks are now upside down in my field of view. For the regular Solos (the x36 series, the x25 does not have a clip design element) the clip is attached to the body itself and is not rotatable. What I'm curious about the Reece is that the clip is designed to be at the bottom. I'm curious about the lower objective lens size (I don't think I"ll see too much difference between x32 and x36). And I am also interested to see how the different focus knob design will feel in use. Also add in lens cap designs and the Reece seems to be hitting all my marks (except for budget...)

It has better glass clarity. According to Vortex, The Reece is made in Japan and has glass equivalent to their Viper line while the Solo is made in China and has glass equivalent to their Crossfire line

You probably want to check out 'spotting scopes' for that sort of thing. And for the more snarky answer: it depends on how big the sign is and how big your blocks are. If you are in Salt Lake City, you have no chance in hell lol.

Glass quality and durability.

@@jpowens2253 thanks! I’ve been on the fence for a while now. I love the Solo R/T but ended up gifting mine to my little brother and have been considering upgrading.

@@jonjonckheer5063 no problem

I agree with you actually haha. On camera it’s easy to get wrapped up in a talking point and fidget with the product. I had the same criticism of my self. Thanks for the comment.

Better ask RU-vid for your money back.

He clearly said vortex sent them so that would be vortex
