LEICA Geovid 8x56 HD-R (Typ 500) - Ex Demonstration 

The 8x56 Geovid HD-R Laser Rangefinder Binocular from Leica combines a precision optical instrument with a laser rangefinder to create a versatile tool that is useful whether you're nature-watching or hunting. The large objective lenses give this binocular greater performance in low-light conditions, such as at dawn and dusk, versus smaller objectives. Optically, the binoculars use fluoride glass and Leica's proprietary HDC multicoatings that produce bright and clear images with high contrast and true color fidelity. The housing is nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance. Two-position click-stop twist-up eyecups allow you to customize your eye relief with or without eye wear.

The built-in rangefinder uses a class 1 eye-safe IR laser to measure distances from 10 to 1340 meters. You can range to a stationary target in single-distance mode, or use the scan mode to track moving targets or to quickly measure multiple subjects. The rangefinder has a built-in inclinometer that measures the up or down viewing angle, and calculates and displays an adjusted horizontal distance that can assist you in ballistic compensation calculations. This model displays ranges in Meters only, and it cannot be changed.
