Anyone ever used one? Thinking about getting one to use on my 10x42 Vipers on a tripod instead of a spotter.
-
I've used one on a buddies Swarovski binos, was not impressed and I'd be willing to bet it hasn't been used since. Can't imagine that you'd get better performance from a Vortex doubler.

Agreed, no doublers perform well at all not even swaro's doubler. They take away from clarity & light gathering suffers. Test one before purchasing, it'll save you money!

There ya go, if Elknut says it, you can take it to the bank, he's a Vortex dealer.

I have one. They don't take the place of a spotter, but if your just looking to get a look at something at lone distance it will work. With that said if your looking to find game with the doubler your better of saving your money for a spotter or a set of big binos :twocents:

I was planning on using it as a way to get a better look at something I find glassing with my 10x binos. I really don't like using a spotter, let alone hauling it around. I'm not at a horn hunter, so I don't need to get a super clear look at everything that's going on with the headgear, I just need to know that its a buck/bull with horns. However, if they are that bad, I don't want to waste my money. I would consider a big set of binos on a tripod, its just that much more stuff to haul around.

For the price of the Vortex doubler, you can now purchase the Vortex Diamondback 12x50's binos. I would opt for bigger binos over a doubler.

I've heard phone scope or similar products aren't bad you can use the zoom on your phone to see closer. Haven't tried it myself but something to look at maybe.
