Leica Binocular – Geovid 8×42 HD-R

Description

Leica Binocular – Geovid 8×42 HD-R

The Leica Geovid 8×42 HD-R Binocular fuses the image quality of a fully multi-coated optical path with the practicality of a 1800-meter laser rangefinder and integrated ballistics computer. Using an array of built-in sensors, this electro-optic measures the ambient atmospheric conditions as well as the shooter’s angle relative to the target. By compiling data from the laser rangefinder and environmental sensors, the ballistics computer will calculate several values that can help improve shot placement.
