Top 5 Best Monoculars Under $100

[@jmlivingston]

All your video clips of the Vortex Solo 8x25 that you borrowed from Vortex are showing the version with the 36mm objective which is larger and has the belt clip. The 25mm objective series does not have a belt clip.

The vortex monocular is okay but cabela makes a monocular called the intensity and it is an unbelievable value. It is a slim bodied monocular with a crystal clear view that rivals a high-end pair of binoculars. Everything about it is better than the vortex. I own several pairs of vortex binoculars and I don't think there is a better value on the market then vortex but the cabela monocular is on a different level. $89 at Bass pro shop.

Think I’ll check it out ! I’ve fallen victim 2 Star Scope Monocular ( Big Mistake ) since then I’ve done so much other product reviewing so so much 2 chose from competitively speaking that is a consumer has 2 be totally cautious ! I’ll certainly review your suggestion ! Thanks ! Mark

I tried to order Cabela's monocular into Europe from their official shop but customer service told me that they don't meet customer personal data privacy requirements of the EU, nor they are planning to spend extra doing so anytime soon, so they don't send them to me while in Europe, but if you live in North America with questionable privacy laws, then by all means... So, I took luck with Hawke Endurance ED 10x25 for 85 GBP instead. It's a bit bulkier than bare metal monoculars due to rubber protection, yet easy to watch through even with glasses, and a permanently but removably mounted exit pupil protective cover will likely save you from a few scratches just by not losing it. Optics is also nicely sharp but despite the inclusion of ED optics to combat chromatic aberration (rainbow effect on the edges of objects) in high contrast situations, there is still some spottable in a noticeably larger quantity than on 330 GBP/ 400 USD Vertex Recce Pro HD 8x32, but hey, it's not mean to compete with Carl Zeiss or Leica with his reasonable price tag while being far more rugged for the outdoors than current lightweight but plastic Carl Zeiss monocular offerings, which in some cases according to reviews with photos fall into pieces if hitting concrete hard enough, nor you will worry anywhere as much about losing something costing a fraction of what you pay for high-end pieces...

I’m wondering has there ever been a review on Star Scope Monocular I’m quite curious and excited to view your findings on this brand ! Sincerely ! Mark

[@goOutdoorZone]

We're glad you like it. Cheers!

@@goOutdoorZone Not sure if message understood I was wishing a consumer review of Star Scope Monocular G2 I’m just another 1 on the list of being a disappointed customer ! No response from manufacturer of this product !

[@colingregory7464]

The Hawke Endurance 8x42 or 10x42 is a bit over 100 probably but comes with ED glass and nitrogen purged and less than half the price of the equivalent bin

[@goOutdoorZone]

We'll take a look into that. Thanks a bunch for sharing.

[@colingregory7464]

@@goOutdoorZone it hasn't let me down yet, decent clarity, feels a little under powered for spotting zones on 3ds, but most of the alternatives are much more, one handed operation, decent warranty ? (but haven't needed to test that yet). Will probably end up with mid range bins (but somewhat grudgingly),

Any good monoculars for viewing at 500ft? Looking for one to view long distances with.

[@goOutdoorZone]

You can check the Vortex Optics Solo 10×36 Monocular

[@mrdrivebytrucker]

Please help me! I can’t find anything that will give me an answer. I DID find out I’m looking for an “image enhancement” product. Something to use for stargazing that has that green image to it. Everything I see that says “stargazing” shows people looking at things in the day time. Can you please help. Looking to spend $500 or under. Thank you

[@goOutdoorZone]

We'd suggest you to go for the Recce Pro. It's an amazing one from Vortex Optics!

[@paullowe2906]

Great video thanks 😊

@@neoaliphant thank you, I'll check it out!

[@alinacicelik]

pentax objective diameter is 21 mm, not 25 mm.

[@goOutdoorZone]

Thanks for pointing out. We stand corrected.

[@Harikusa]

Isn't 6-10x magnification is super little?

[@goOutdoorZone]

Yeah it is!

[@IonorRea]

Higher magnification in such small diameter optics will give you poor low-light performance (just compare smartphone and full-frame camera low-light shots) and will greatly limit the field of view when compared to binoculars thus shaking of your hand even due to heart rate become rather pronounced, so most of premium optics manufacturers don't even bother making high magnification compact monoculars as they would be outperformed in low-light conditions even by 10$ cheap Made in China monoculars with 7-10x magnification.

No images from the actual scopes…. Not helpful

Sorry if you felt that way
