Leica Geovid 8x42 R Binoculars - Metre Version

Combining Leica’s world-renowned image quality and an advanced onboard computer, the Leica Geovid R Binoculars offer professional performance with in-view digital analysis. The onboard computer uses an IR Laser Rangefinder with an accurate inclinometer to provide a meter-distance measure away from your chosen subject. This is displayed on an in-view LED display with 4 characters and ambient-light-controlled brightness. Furthermore, you can make use of the EHR ballistics function that measures the angle of your subject relative to where you are at the point of viewing. All of this would be nothing without the intricate optical structure that offers incredible image-quality from dawn till dusk. Aiding this, Leica has implemented their proprietary anti-reflective lens coating technology that helps to boost light transmission and improve colour and contrast. This optical structure and onboard technology are encased in a lightweight and durable aluminium alloy chassis that is wrapped in a protective, slip-resistant grip.

Expanded Leica Geovid R Binoculars Key Features:

On-Board Computing

There are two modes - A spot mode, which can be used for stationary single measurements and a scan mode, which is used for continuous measurements of moving or multiple targets. Finally, there is an EHR ballistics function. This function makes use of the built-in inclinometer and measures the angle of your subject relative to where you are at the point of viewing. This is displayed in-view and shows the equivalent horizontal range for distances from 10 to 550 meters using the adjusted distance for more accurate hold-over/under.

Optical Performance

As you’d expect, this set of binoculars is fitted with extremely high-quality lenses that uphold the Leica name. Both the 8x42 and 10x42 options feature Leica's proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings (HDC anti-reflection) that are designed to boost light transmission and improve overall colour and contrast. These are complemented by high-quality and compact roof prisms that provide beautifully clear and consistent images. Finally, each set of binoculars are afforded a generous exit pupil and wide field of view, both of which offer an immersive viewing experience that allows you to comfortably scan and track subjects, as well as allowing for excellent low-light performance.

Built to Last

Protecting the advanced and intricate optical structure, as well as the intelligent computer system, is an impressively strong but lightweight aluminium alloy chassis. Each tube is nitrogen-filled which offers effective fog and waterproofing performance, allowing you to continue use even in adverse weather conditions. The exterior of the chassis is wrapped in a protective, slip-resistant armour grip that adds a premium, stylish finish as well as providing a comfortable grip even in cold, wet weather.
