Q
Patricia, guest, from CA, United States, asked on November 24, 2022

Can you use the Vortex monocular for golf to find the range to the flag/pin?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on November 29, 2022

The Vortex 8x25 Solo Compact Waterproof Monocular is not intended for use with golfing. It also is not capable of ranging objects like a pin. I would recommend using a dedicated rangefinder for golf ranging purposes like the Athlon Optics Talos 800 Yard Golf Rangefinder, found by using the link below:

Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on July 11, 2022

Using a Phone Skope mini-optic adapter, as well as an appropriate Phone Skope cellphone adapter, like the Lollipop Universal, you can absolutely pair the Solo 8x25 to a smart phone!

Here are some links to the adapters:

Q
Rick, guest, from FL, United States, asked on October 14, 2019

Where can I purchase lens caps for both ends of this optic? A flip-up lens cover for the objective side, and an extended rubber eyepiece cover.

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on November 08, 2019

There are no lens covers for this unit. The objective end is tapered and there are no "extended" eye pieces for the ocular lens.
