Roxant Viper Monocular Telescope – 10x25 Monoculars for Adults High Powered | Military Grade BAK4 Prism Pocket Scope | Weatherproof with Case, Wrist Strap & Smartphone Adapter

I am very happy that I found this optic! The clarity of the image and level of magnification are very impressive for such a small optic. I have several larger, heavier and more expensive optics that provide the same quality image! I like to keep a zoom optic handy at all times, and this is perfect for keeping in my truck and taking along when I hike. The Viper is incredibly small and light, yet still manages to feel very solid and durable. I love the feel of the molded case that provides a good grip, and it included a handy lanyard so I can hang it from my wrist when walking about and a carrying case for attaching it to a belt. As if that wasn't good enough for the price, I reached out to Roxant with comments about the product and got a great answer right away. Quality product, fair price, and excellent service: You can't ask for better than that! Roxant has made a fan out of me, I'll definitely be looking at their other products for my next optic purchase!

I have been on the hunt for another small scope like the Viper. No luck, all are 2 to 4 times larger.What I like about the Viper first is the size, then the range and magnification and always viewing quality.I mostly use the scope for my business, I am in the sign industry. Many signs go in high and hard to access locations.The scope allows me to see up close the actual location conditions, from anywhere I can see the location. And we need signs to be seen, right?The size being important because I’m in a safety vest with a handful of other tools and devises needed for the job. All needing to be light and compact.The 10x25 is great for my needs and the size is perfect, quality exceeds my requirements.So now this scope will live in my daily bag of import devises for my work. I won’t leave the office without it.

I usually don’t write reviews, but since I went through some extra effort here to trial 4 brands at the same time, so I hope this is helpful information.Background: I wanted to find a good monocular that I can easily throw in my fanny pack or in my pocket in case I need it … mainly for hiking, site-seeing, etc. This is a good time to establish the value of a monocular: It is strictly for go-anywhere compactness – the viewing image will never be as good as a pair of good binoculars (my compact Nikon 7x20 binocs are superior to any monocular I’ve tried). Onto my testing …I tried four different models – at different specs and price points (listed):Vortex Solo ($ 67.00, 10x25): Hi quality construction and grip BUT larger & heavier than most (wouldn’t want it in my pocket). Good optics quality BUT the eyepiece created interference with viewing and adjustment was very stiff.Carson Monozoom ($ 29.99, 7-21x21): Design was funky and the dual controls (separate for magnification (from 7 to 21) and focus made it difficult to use. Optics were just so-so … high magnification was too blurry, low mag was OK.Roxant Viper ($24.99, 10x25): Good quality, compact design (small/light enough to go in your pocket), and the easiest to use. Optics were surprisingly good and the adjustment was the easiest to use.Leonuoraso ($12.79, 10x22): OK quality and easy to hold and use – these were the smallest and lightest of the four. Optics were OK, with a bit lower light coming thru the smaller (x22) aperture.Decision: The Roxant Viper was a stand-out value, providing a good quality compact monocular that hit the right features and compromises – it will be my go-anywhere optics. Due to the super-low price, I also kept the Leonuoraso as a dedicated accessory for my RV (I recently went to Yellowstone and FORGOT to bring any optics – that won’t happen again . I wanted to like the Vortex Solo, but the size and eyepiece awkwardness made it easy to eliminate. The Carson was just too gimmicky and clunky to operate.

I had this monocular for 3 months, worked well when i received it. nice and light weight. I the focus working after 3 months of very gentle and barely any use. Do not recommend, buy something else.

Roxant viper monocular lets light in but the resolution is low when you look at far distant object and that’s when you need high magnification the most.After comparing it with Carson 7-21 ,The Carson 7-21 appeared clearer at 7x and 8x than the 10x roxant viper! although roxant is brighter but it lacks the resolution. The Carson 7-21 is more versatile and it’s best clarity at 7x to 8x (at 7x the objective lens of Carson gives a bigger 3mm pupil size compared to the fixed 2.5mm pupil size of the roxant viper) and then start losing resolution, brightness and focus control as you go up but still gives a nice performance for its price and smaller objective lens size.The roxant fill from a car dashboard on a hard object inside the car (70cm hight) and became blind with objects shaking inside. Opening it showed how the inside glass broke a thin and cheaply plastic holder easily..! What is the benefit of using a strong rubber outside and using cheap thin plastic pins inside that can’t hold the glass for a moderate hit!.

This thing rocks!It's just the right size and I love the case and the fact I can loop it on my belt. It's easy to use and has good magnification, very clear too. I've been using it during hikes, and I'm sure for bird watching. The grip is rubbery and texturized, and the ridges are pretty cool and functional. Ultimately I bought it for it's light weight, it's easy to stow away in a backpack, and that fact that I'm not going to use it for extended periods of time. These were the factors that made this a preferred option to traditional binoculars.Do your research (like I did) and land right here where I did for value: quality at a good price, and great customer service.
