Leica - 8x42 Geovid R Binocular/Rangefinder (Yards)

Leica Geovid R Binocular and Rangefinders

Leica fuses the image quality of a fully multi-coated optical path with the practicality of a 1200-yard laser rangefinder and integrated ballistics calculator to create their 8x42 Geovid R Binocular/Rangefinder. 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 yards 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 color 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 aluminum alloy chassis that is nitrogen-filled for fogproof and waterproof performance in extreme conditions. It is wrapped in a protective armor that also provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather.

Optical Performance

8x magnification

42mm objectives

Compact roof prisms

HDC anti-refection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color fidelity, and contrast

368' field of view at 1000 yards

56° 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 382 meters, ±2 yards to 766 yards, ±0.5% past 766 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, while displaying measurement in yards only

EHR ballistics function: Utilizes 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 meters 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)

Use and Handling

Closed-bridge configuration

Two-position twist-up click-stop rubber eyecups for use with or without eyewear

Large knurled center focus wheel

Tripod mountable with optional adapter

±4 diopter correction range

Comfortable 5.25mm exit pupil

Construction Details

Lightweight aluminum alloy housing

Nitrogen-filled for water and fogproof performance

Submersible to a depth of 16.5' (5m)

Protective rubber armored exterior

Weight: 33.5 oz with battery
