Solo
Invariably,
while on my way to fulfill some promise or to run an errand, I find myself in
need of some instrument that would help me see a bird better. I keep a pair of binoculars handy around the
house. Yet, I find it more of a challenge
to keep a pair handy in a car. I believe
I have a solution now.
Hikers and
backpacker may appreciate this solution, too.
Their concern always includes the amount of weight carried. The goal is to be as well prepared as
possible but minimalist in weight.
Take a look at
the Vortex
8 x 36 Solo monocular. Less than
five inches, less than 10 ounces, perfect size and weight for both scenarios
above. It’ll fit in the glove
compartment or side door pocket. Spy a small
bird in the fence row, whip out the Solo and you have a very nice
sighting. Return it to its snug
cubbyhole and off you go. The hiker can
wear it on his or her belt using the utility clip or fit it in the pack.
This is it. This is what you’ve been looking for. It’s small, compact, rugged and comfortable
in your hand. It’s fully multi-coated
with antireflective coatings for bright clear images.
