Leica Geovid R 8x56 Rangefinder Binoculars (Yards)

Description

Leica fuses the image quality of a large-objective fully multi-coated optic with the usefulness of a 1200-yard laser rangefinder and integrated ballistics calculator to create its Leica Geovid R 8x56 Rangefinder Binoculars (Yards). Using an infrared laser rangefinder and a built-in inclinometer, the on-board computer adjusts the displayed range for more precise shot placement when shooting up or downhill, and 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 yards and is controlled with a convenient single push button.

Complementing its ranging qualities, the Geovid sports oversized 56mm objective lenses and Leica's proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings to boost light transmission, improve colour and contrast at long distances, and, with its expansive exit pupil, extends its usability to provide excellent low-light performance even during the dawn and dusk hours. 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.
• 56mm objectives.
• Compact roof prisms.
• HDC anti-refection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, colour fidelity, and contrast.
• 108m field of view at 1000 yards.
• 54° apparent viewing angle.

Laser Rangefinder

• Measures range in yards only.
• Simple one-button design.
• FDA Class 1 eye-safe IR laser.
• Range: 10 to 1200 yards.
• Measuring accuracy: ±1 yard to 400 metres, ±2 yards to 800 yards, ±0.5% past 800 yards.
• 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 as well as displays measurements in yards 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 metre using the adjusted distance for more accurate hold-over/under.
• Runs on one CR2 lithium battery: Battery life is pproximately 2,000 measurements at 68°F (20°C)
