Leica Geovid R 8x42 Rangefinder Binoculars (Metres)

Description

Leica fuses the image quality of a fully multi-coated optical path with the practicality of an 1100-metre laser rangefinder and integrated ballistics calculator to create their Leica Geovid R 8x42 Rangefinder Binoculars (Metres). Using an infrared laser rangefinder and a built-in inclinometer, the on-board computer adjusts the displayed range for more precise shot placement. An in-view four-character LED display allows the observer to view the range without having to take their eyes off the subject. This version of the Geovid displays distances in metres and is controlled with a convenient single push button.

Complementing its ranging qualities, the Geovid sports Leica's proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings help to boost light transmission, and improve colour and contrast. A generous exit pupil and a field of view that approaches wide-angle provide an immersive observational experience with competent low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk. Protecting the optics and electronics is a lightweight and durable aluminium alloy chassis that is nitrogen-filled for fogproof and waterproof performance in extreme conditions. It is wrapped in a protective armour that also provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather.

Key Features:

Optical Performance

• 8x magnification.
• 42mm objectives.
• Compact roof prisms.
• HDC anti-refection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, colour fidelity, and contrast.
• 112m field of view at 1000 yards.
• 56° apparent viewing angle.

Laser Rangefinder

• Measures range in metres only.
• Simple one-button design.
• FDA Class 1 eye-safe IR laser.
• Range: 10 to 1100 metres.
• Measuring accuracy: ±1 metre to 350 metres, ±2 metres to 700 metres, ±0.5% past 700 metres.
• Spot mode: Use spot for stationary single measurement.
• Scan modes: Use scan for continuous measurement to a moving or multiple targets.
• Display: In-view LED shows four characters and automatically adjusts to ambient light, while displaying measurement in metres only.
• EHR ballistics function: Utilises a built-in inclinometer to measure angle to the target relative to the user, and displays the equivalent horizontal range for distances from 10 to 550 metres using the adjusted distance for more accurate hold-over/under.
• Runs on one CR2 lithium battery: Battery life is approximately 2,000 measurements at 68°F (20°C)
