Recce Pro HD 8x32 Monocular | HD Optical System, MRAD Reticle, Utility Clip, Adjustable Eyecup, Fogproof, Waterproof - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Just bought the recce pro hd and first impressions were great. Totally worth it in my opinion. That being said if you’re reading this you’re probably like me and read the other reviews as well. One of the reviews I read kinda tried to throw this optic under the bus lol. They sounded very opinionated so I had to see for myself about the performance and ergonomics of this monocular. So far so good lol the pouch fits the monocular with ease(I think they were trying to do something a** backwards lol), and you could easily manipulate it with one hand lol the clip is in a fine position unless you’re a (in my nice voice) prissy pants lol it’ll be located under your thumb, so if your having a issue don’t grab it like you’re trying to break it. Alternatively you could wear gloves if your kong fu grip is to serious lol as for the ring tightness, they are a bit stiff but if you’ve owned vortex optics before you should already have a idea of how these feel. The glass is extremely clear and exceeded my expectations. I love the radical and the placement of it. The silhouettes make range guestimation easier. The crosshairs are nice for making corrections on paper. I’m also a fan of the crosshairs being offset. The upper right portion of the monocular gives you a clear and unobstructed view of your target. They also have the look and feel of something that can take a beating. I would recommend this for duty use. All and all I think that these were the best choice for me. Will update if anything changes but I do like the quality to say the least and you can’t beat the Vortex VIP warranty.

A well built and rugged unit. While it's no Swarovski, at this price point the glass is excellent. There is a slight bias toward the reds - looking at a white surface through the unit vs viewing same surface via naked eye, there is a very slight pinkish tone. Without making the direct comparison, this bias is not noticeable. It's for quick peeks at stuff, not for spending a day bird-watching. :-) Haven't had a chance to check the reticule against a known size object at known distance yet, but I'm sure it fine. Reticule offset to the left so it doesn't interfere with field of view when one is not using the unit for ranging. Focus rings are quite stiff (both reticule and view focus). I suspect this is a by product of the seals. Better to have seals that will not fail vs very easy to move focus with seals that will end up leaking with use. The lens covers are a nice touch. The rubber eyepiece rotates so one that is left eye dominant can use it with the left eye. This unit will live in the console of my truck for viewing stuff at a distance when I feel the need or in the range back for viewing groups. My Swaro binos are both two damn big (and expensive) to toss in my truck for casual peeks at a distant item.

This is a great product. I purposely looked for a Japanese-manufactured rather than a Chinese-manufactured monocular, and the clarity is excellent. I wanted something very compact that could be used for birding and hunting, and this perfect for both.

I was looking for a nice magnified optic for my go bag without either the bulk or weight of a set of binoculars. Knowing the reputation and quality of Vortex optics, I chose this little monocular in their mid price range. While it may not be their absolute top tier optic, at half the price, you sacrifice none of the functionality. It is compact, easy to use and most importantly, there when you need it to be. The glass is crystal clear as are the mil-dot markings and while I have yet to use them, I have used the ranging silhouette and found them handy and accurate. The focus ring I have found on my optic to have just enough resistance to hold focus once I get it there, but it is not overly difficult to adjust. Just a pleasant palpable resistance to let you know the monocular is well put together. I like the included case, alot, it has attached to the MOLLE slots on my pack solidly with very minimal play. Where I do agree with my fellow reviewers is that it can be slow and difficult to take the monocular in and out of the case repetitively. The case is great for long term carry, but if you are going to be using the monocular often over a short period of time, I would utilize the included belt clip which is solid and will keep the optic with you and handy. I wasn't entirely sure this was what I was wanting, until using it I found it was exactly what I needed. Vortex did an amazing job with this little monocular and I recommend it highly. Amazon had it to me in just a couple of days and with provided tracking, there were no issues there at all.

High quality monocular. It’s designed as a mil-dot range finder, but I use it while hiking as a replacement for binoculars.

I'm happy with this scope its small and light weight and travels well with gear since its well protected within the provided case. Able to sight in quickly with one hand once set. I almost took of a star because of the no tripod connection, but that would not be fare since that is not what this is intended for. As a small stow away scope this works quite well for its price range and has a solid build quality.

Monocular is great!, holster is terrible; material is harsh and fit is very tight. I will look for options to replace holster.

Just received the monocular and it's just what I was looking for. It's nice to have lens caps on both the objective and ocular lenses for protection from dust and water if you are not using the carrying case. Have not had the chance to use the reticle for range finding but I'm sure it'll be useful when I need it. The optics are clear and bright and the focusing wheel is easy to use. It's a bit heavy but reasonable when you see how rugged it is.

今まで、コンパクト双眼鏡を使ってました。 使用用途は、バス釣りやシーバス、キャンプやオリエンテーリング(本格的な物ではなく、サバイバル能力の自己啓発です※コンパスと地図を使い現在地把握や目的地へ到着できるかの訓練)です。 双眼鏡が必要だったのは、メガネはしたことがありませんが、目が悪くなってきたこともあり、遠くがよく見えなくなったからです。 使用している目的は、遠くの物を正確に認識(スポットの状態把握や何の建造物かの把握等)する必要があるため双眼鏡を使ってました。 不満だったのは、双眼鏡だと仰々しい感じをいつもしていたのと、ある程度、使用スペックを満たすには双眼鏡だと高額になることです。 こちらも、フィールド単眼鏡としては高額ですが、同レベルの双眼鏡の半額で済みます。 買って使ってみると(まだ近所で試しレベルですが)、これは良いです・・・単眼鏡って良いですね・・・ 解像度も色味も文句なしです。 スペック表では、アイレリーフが短い(合わせるのが難しい)と想像していましたが、裸眼なので接眼パットが良い仕事してくれていて全然そんなこと無く瞬間ピタっと合いました。 コンパクトで軽いし、手のひらに自然に収まるし良い買い物しました。 不満があるとすれば、ポーチが小さいことですかね・・・、これは使い物にならないので、ポーチ探しの旅に出ようと思います。 ピント合わせは、無理して片手でやる必要は無いと思っているのと、物が小さいのでそもそも男の手サイズで片手操作は厳しい、なので硬いですが不満はありません。 これお勧めですよ。 サイズ感や質感、デザインや実力、etc 所有感も満たしてくれる良い単眼鏡です。 光軸も真円でズレもありません。 ※注意)光軸の確認は、実視で見たら人によって楕円に見える場合があります(人の目の錯覚)、確認はスマホでも良いので物理レンズ側から白背景を通して画像に撮って見るとよく分かります。 最後に、レティクルは主張しないので気になりませんよ。 ちなみに、レティクルで距離計測するの何気に楽しいですよ・・・これ買ってからカード電卓買って一緒に持ち歩くようになりましたもん(笑 RECCE(偵察)の名に恥じない逸品です。 追記)ポーチにタオルをキツキツに詰めて数日おいておいたら、良い感じに広がってスムーズな抜き差しが出来るようになりました(笑 ポーチを常用するならお試しあれ。

購入して1年半ほどです。 この単眼鏡は光学性能、堅牢性、防水性、携帯性の全てを兼ね備えてます。 見え味はめちゃくちゃクリアで対象物をはっきりと認識できます。 中途半端な双眼鏡の10倍より確実にはっきりと見えます。値段は高いですが、持ち歩きに何を持って行こうと悩む事はなくなり、どこに持って出かけようかと楽しみになりました。 何個か双眼鏡と単眼鏡を所持してましたが、コーワの10×50ミリの双眼鏡とこの単眼鏡以外は処分しました。 あ、ちなみに夜でもそこそこ使えます。

少しゴツめですが、頑丈で良く見える。

焦点の合わせがシビアではあるが明るく、歪みもないて大変良い。

レンズが明るく鮮明に見えます！ グリップも持ちやすく、内部スケールの表示もはっきりしてて距離感もよくわかります。 デザインも良く、保管ケースからも伺えるようなアーミー的マニアックな製品です！
