While the monocular can be used with a smartphone attachment, it does not come with one.

Value
This seems to be a very solid monocular. The only negative reviews we came across were from users comparing it to their thousand dollar models, and this being said, the lowest reviews still come with three stars. While this definitely isn't one of the cheapest options on our list, it is quite outstanding and worth the higher cost.

Vortex is a brand that shouldn’t be overlooked. Forget the ‘toy’ like feel, the Vortex is sturdy and feels real while maintaining its lightweight attributes. Vortex understands that a lot can be demanded of outdoor gear, so they have crafted a monocular that is waterproof, fog-proof, and shock-resistant. That covers nearly everything- bring it with you on every trip you go on! One negative drawback is that this monocular has a hard time drawing in extra light so as to allow for a more quality image- it is most noticeable at dawn and dusk when you might find your naked eye sees better than your monocular. That aside, this monocular is great, easily coming in as one of our Top 3 Best Products!

Scope/Sight
10x25 but you could also buy the 8x25, 8x36, or 10x36 options as well. This scope will have sight for up to 1000 yards or 378 feet. The first number in any of those sets indicates the power or the magnification strength, the second number in those sets of numbers is the objective lens size. The Vortex Monocular doesn’t draw in light to help with visibility like some competitions will. This really only becomes a problem at dawn and dusk- your naked eye might work better than the scope of this monocular.

Construction
This monocular is fully armored in rubber.

Durability

Size
4.4” x 2.2” inches with a handgrip of 1.8” inches. Weighs in at 5.6 ounces.

Features
It only includes a neck lanyard and a soft carrying case. If by ‘soft’ they mean ‘exposes your monocular to the elements’ then they are right about it. The case that it comes in, while it straps to your belt- leaves you wanting. Buying a new- not factory- the case wouldn’t be remiss.

Value
The less you pay the less you often get. Vortex has a great mid-range priced monocular that deserves attention. There was some negative feedback from consumers, but by and large, everyone was happy with this purchase!
