    You. Hello again this is just gonna be short. Quick review of a monocular and that i. Carry out in the field because even though i have a really nice pair of binoculars which I'll do a review of as well they're just it's still too bulky. Because if you get it really small like a 25 mil objective they're just tiny and really useless pretty much oricon where. Is this one alright it's just perfect. You know it's its it's got a big enough objective to be you know useful and but. It's not too bulky and it's I've got it. Now for a couple years and it's its. Going really well and it doesn't surprisingly like the one and only metal. But on it which is the belt that has not started to rust so the coating on it is. Really good but anyway what it is it's. The your cedar there's snap shots at the. Start it is the vortex solo 10 by 32. Monocular and the serial number is s 136. So you want to buy it just go online and. Just look up the vortex s1 3 6 and it. Will come up it's what you get with it. You get the unit itself you get this. Really long landed mm suppose it's for. Hanging around the neck duck probably good for good bird watch it but yeah what i think i have that hanging. Around the neck contracts there in the bush bow down you did come up it does. Come with a nice carrying there does speeding pretty much perfectly. Yes so it's a perfect fit so that's. Really nice then it's quite sturdy carry bag it's not really flimsy garbage like. What if the chinese stuff away it's made in china like no where is it made it's a. Made in china there you go but obviously vortex that. Was standard so it's got the actual. Carry case has got elastic sides and. Sort of padded a padded front and back. And body one-piece so that's in a belt. Loop of course so it's yeah it's really. Sturdy it hasn't fallen part stitching hasn't started coming apart so all in. All it's a pretty good uniter than out the specifications are let's see the size. Length and width it's four point nine. Inches by two point six inches its nine point seven ounces see the screen. Showing you a bit so the eye relief is. 15 mil field of view is at one thousand. At 1,000 yards it's 325 feet close focus. Is the closest that you can fire because it is sixteen point four feet yeah. Mm-hmm doesn't really matter because what would you be using a monocular if you're looking at less than 20 feet. On the side what's it has to say it's. Fully multi-coated with anti-reflective. Coatings for brighter views nitrogen gas. Purging delivers fog proof waterproof performance rugged rubber armor provides. A secure non-slip grip yeah it is. Quite and contoured designed for. Comfortable handling and it is. Actually quite yeah it's quite a economic the white shaped just the way. It sits in your palm so it's yeah it's. Really good there's there's nothing like there's not ridiculed or any you have arranged boney. Reticle for a deer forest and we've. Got like seven species of d here in australia so have it and some of them at. Like small too big so they're gonna. Completely muses but anyway just it's. Just straight lines straight clean. Lenses there's really not much more to. Say it's a really good unit as far as price and the belt clip is. Really big long it's an ample belt clip you know thanks dude so with two big. Yeah two good-sized is a this is. Even though it's mounted on a piece of on a plastic looks like a plastic block. The there are actually making ferrell's. Steel ferrell's that the screws going to. So the allen screws I'm not going into plastic so that's its really. Really sturdy you'll have to give gore-tex you know kudos I'm not really. Owned any vortexes but from time to time. I hear people what their eyes just bagging him and then other people say no no they fantastic i don't know but as. Far as this is the one only vortex of it was i don't know episode it's good stuff. Let's see. Yeah it works fine. Um there's really not much more to say. About a price that's frozen in estate price oh I've seen it like the price. Very live look online i think i paid. Like just add 100 bucks for mine at 100. I'm sitting double that so shop around. Because if you're paying more than a hundred bucks for that you're just over 100 for that then i think you're getting ripped off and some people are selling them for twice that price oh yeah damn pain wouldn't home the bucks but all in all i would highly recommend it the vortex so. Low ten to thirty-six with the 36 miller. Did that i think that's optimum bigger than that yeah they get pretty bulky small on that like with it with the 32. Or 25 or something that just too small so finally recommended the solo vortex. So low ten by thirty-six get yourself. One and you won't be disappointed and that's about it and I'll see you like.

    How's everybody doing today we have the nikon monarch hg an amazing. Product i know i say that a lot but i truly mean it this one has won awards we'll get into. That here in a little bit we'll talk about a couple features with this thing this is a great product as i mentioned this is nikon monarch hg this is an. Amazing binocular the one that i have in my hands right here is the 10 by 42 the msrp is $9.99 95 this is also offered in. An 8 by 42 for nine 7995 this is the box. That it comes in it also comes with a little case so you can put the binocular and fits in there perfectly if you want to put it in there to put it in your pack or you can just leave them out floating freely like most people do than. I do as well also at the same time that. Does come with some of the eye caps i was blocking the sign back here so thank. You for moving that so again comes with some white caps to put on the protection well get into the great stuff so edie glasses in here essentially that is high definition for your eyes we all remember was like watching tv several years ago. Before hdtv came out this is hd for your. Eyes low-light conditions up to 92% more. Light transmittance into this binocular here it comes with field flattener lens. So it's going to get rid of in that chromatic aberration that you're going to be getting it's gonna be a wide field. Of view, it's gonna be about 362 fields of. View at a thousand yards so very. Crystal clear amazing products you look. Through these once and you won't ever want to look through another pair of binoculars again 10 by 42 offered. An 8 by 42 covered by no constant nikon. Snow fault warranty policy so again that is the best warranty policy out there that you. Never need to use you know it's not one of those policies that gets often used you never hear about it because the product doesn't break which is more important than a solid warranty process. But again this is covered by nikon it's no-fault warranty so you can turn it in. At your fault somebody else's fault turn it in nikon will repair or replace it very lightweight magnesium alloy body so. It's going to be about 24 25 ounces for. The 10 by 40 to about 23 to 24 ounces. For the 8 by 42 binocular so very lightweight very compact compatible you have your long consistent eye relief if you're wearing glasses very easy all of us that have used binoculars before you know you just twist your eye caps back here for your eye relief if you have glasses or not this does have a locking. Diopter that you can see here so you can set it to your personal settings and it will lock in place once you push it down you cannot twist it so you lift it up twist it a couple times to get your focus right lock it down and then it won't move around so it is set in place they're very easy to operate maneuverable everything is very smooth. And fluid the award that we've talked about a little bit it was awarded filming streams best of the test for. 2017 the award is back here you also see it on the website nikon sport optics comm and if you do have your copy then. You've read about how they tested it they torture test at all the binoculars froze them pull them out use them while. They were frozen use them in low-light conditions they also use them you know. Very bright conditions as well and so these one Nikon are excuse me one. Filled the streams best of the test amazing part of this is not just the quality but the price that i mentioned earlier 999 95 you know this binocular. Right here was competing against optics.

    Hey guys it's harley wood just got back. From a montana elk hunt and before the hunt i showed some of the gear that i was going to take with me i had some guys asking me about the binoculars in particular the nikon monarch sevens so. I'm gonna go over those a little bit today just a real quick video these Bushnell's are the ones that I've had for years probably eight or nine years and a couple things i don't like about them one is these old-style eye relief caps here they flip you can see. This one's completely missing i lost it don't even know where it is this one's you know on its last leg these new icons. Have a really cool way of doing that. Look twist for more eye relief if you're. Wearing glasses you can scale them back out they also have so you would get your. Focus with this ring here with your left. Eye and then on your right eye let me turn around so on your right eye you would actually use this to fine-tune your right eye now they also have integrated lens protection one of the. Things that i really liked about these was the ability to change my focal depth. With those Bushnell's i didn't have this dial on there were i could pull the focus out or push it in and the benefit of this is let's say. You're looking at a deer through the woods if you pull your focus sometimes back it reveals branches and things that are in between you and the target you know the subject matter and can. Probably help you to avoid taking a very bad shot I'm gonna roll in some footage right here so you can kind of see that you'll see that I'm focused out on something and as i pull the zoom back you can see that it reveals things that you could not previously see so very. Beneficial loved these rings there. They're adjustable in different increments so very innovative they're these are completely waterproof depending on where you get them they're probably going to be in the $600 or $700 range somewhere around there I'll post a link in the description below I'm gonna do some searching try to find you the best price at the time of filming this video if you find them somewhere cheaper by all means hit me up tell me in the video and I'll change the link so that's it guys the nikon monarch 7s had a. Couple guys asking me about it so hope that answers your questions if not hit me up in the comments thanks for watching if you like this video please hit that subscribe button lots more videos to come, and we'll see on the next one.
