## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a range finder? Thank you!**
A: Yes, it does contain a range finder.  It is an optical rangefinder based on a graduated reticle.  It is not an electronic rangefinder where you press a button and get a number.  To use the Vortex R/T (Ranging/Tactical), you need to know the approximate height of the object.  That info, combined with the built-in reticle will give you the distance.  An internet image search will give you a picture of the reticle, and several sites have info on how to use it.  As an example, if a human (2 meters tall) viewed through the scope was 3 hash marks high (milliradians) then the distance would be 2 meters X 1000 / 3 (hash marks) = 666.6 meters (give or take).  As a side note, I really enjoy mine, goes with me often on hikes.  Well built and compact.

**Q: have a belt clip?**
A: Yeah, a huge metal belt clip. and comes with a pouch as well. both are not very useful. But the mono itself and the R/T are awesome!

**Q: will it attach to a tripod or camera stick?**
A: No it won't it has a clip to attach to clothing or gear. If you want to attach to a tripod you need to get the Vortex Recon..

**Q: How useful is the manual?**
A: I guess its fine as manuals go. Its in English so that's a plus.  It also is good if you need to start a fire or need something to read when your on the john, lots of versatility i guess.
