Questions & Answers
Can you use the Vortex monocular for golf to find the range to the flag/pin? Expert Answer

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:

can I mount this to my Samsung S 0 smart phone> Manufacturer Answer

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:

well made, good price by sel, September 1, 2014
Works fine with 2 exceptions: - I'm very near-sighted and this piece will not focus past about 200 yards to infinity for me without my glasses. I have a much older monocular that does, and I prefer no glasses because it gives me a wider angle view....

Vortex Solo Monocular by Ganesh, January 3, 2015
This monocular is the best i have ever owned. It is comparable to my far more expensive Leitz and Zeiss 10x20 mm. binoculars. At $50 it's a steal. It has great depth of field, excellent contrast, sharp acuity and real brightness from edge to edge. It...
