Leica Geovid 8x42 HD-R

Binoculars LEICA Geovid 8x42

The Geovid HD-R 2700 LEICA 8x42 rangefinder binocular combines superior optical performance with a powerful 2700-yard laser rangefinder and ballistic computer in highly portable and easy-to-use optics.

Optically, the Geovid uses LEICA 's Perger-Porro prism optical design that produces the compact form factor of a roof prism with the large depth of field and interference-free light path of a traditional Porro prism. To further improve image quality, there is an internal baffle system to suppress stray light and the fully multilayer HDC optical system that maximizes light transmission, while improving color fidelity and contrast. These optical features, combined with moderate magnification and larger lenses, produce optics with a wide exit pupil and large ocular relief that is comfortable and easy to use with an exceptionally wide field of view.

The range seeking system integrates an inclinometer and ballistic computer with the powerful IR laser to improve first-shot accuracy. Their inclinometer measures the relative angle between the user and the target, then combines it with the linear range, to provide a tight distance that allows them to better judge the hold above/below. The addition of LEICA 's advanced ballistic compensation system uses one of 12 pre-programmed ballistic curves based on common ammunition loads, combined with adjusted range and environmental conditions, to further improve retention accuracy. Users can also create custom curves on the LEICA website and upload them to Geovid, further refining accuracy. superior/bottom retention values can be displayed as the adjusted range, relative angle, or in MOA/thousandths of an inch to allow quick click adjustments to the viewfinder turrets.

LEICA employs an open-bridge/dual-hinge design that makes the Geovid lighter and easier to handle without sacrificing strength or stability. The protection of the optics and electronics is a magnesium alloy chassis that is lightweight and durable. The body is wrapped in protective rubber armor that provides a non-slip grip. To withstand the rigors of the trail, the optical tubes are filled with nitrogen and sealed with O-rings to be waterproof and submersible, and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperatures and environmental conditions.

Optical performance

• 8x moderate power increases without sacrificing field of view and exit pupil for easy viewing, especially in low-light conditions
• 42mm objective lenses increase light-gathering capability and ensure optical tubes remain thin for easier handling
• The optical design of the Perger-Porro prism combines the rich depth of field of a Porro prism's light path while maintaining the most compact straight-line optical tube of a roof prism, without the phase interference, to minimize light loss and internal diffraction.
• The fully multilayer HDC system has abrasion-resistant and anti-reflective properties to protect the outer surfaces of the lenses and maximize light transmission with natural neutral color fidelity and enhanced contrast.
• Internal baffle system suppresses stray light to improve contrast
• AquaDura hydrophobic coating on external optical surfaces makes it easy to remove dirt, dust and fingerprints without leaving residue on lens surfaces
• Ultra-wide 65° apparent viewing angle presents the user with a spacious and immersive viewing experience
• 426' field of view at 1000 yards
