Built for the way you use them

Ten times magnification, a 42 mm objective and a laser rangefinder in one body. Here is where that combination earns its keep.

Scanning a stubble field at first light

Birdwatching and wildlife

Ten times magnification and a 6.1 degree field, wide enough to hold a bird in view and sharp enough to read the markings.

Open hill and moorland

Range to 1500 m and read the true horizontal distance on steep ground, without putting the binocular down to pick up a rangefinder.

810 g of magnesium alloy, IP65 sealed. Carried on the chest it stays out of the way until you need it.

1500 metres, with the angle taken out

Press once for a distance, hold for a continuous scan. The inclinometer reads the slope up to ninety degrees either way and returns the true horizontal distance, which is the number that matters when you are looking up or down a hill. Class 1 eye safe 905 nm laser, accurate to half a metre.

How we sell

Optics is a category full of numbers that do not survive contact with a specification sheet. Ours are checked against the maker’s.

Numbers off the maker’s sheet

Every figure on this site comes from the manufacturer’s specification. Where the product does not have something, we say so. It is not ED glass, and it is IP65 rather than fully waterproof.

Advice before the sale

Tell us the ground you cover and what you want to see on it. We would rather talk you out of the wrong pair than take the order.

Questions we actually get

How far will it actually range?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Up to 1500 m, a little over 1600 yards, on a large reflective target in good conditions. Expect less in rain or fog, and less again on a dark, soft subject such as a deer in cover. Ranging accuracy is plus or minus half a metre.

What is angle compensation and do I need it?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

The inclinometer measures how steeply you are looking up or down, up to ninety degrees either way, and returns the true horizontal distance rather than the straight line one. On flat ground the two are the same. On a hillside they are not, and the horizontal figure is the one you want.

Is it waterproof?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

It is IP65: sealed against driving rain and dust. That covers a full day out in British weather. It is not rated for immersion, so do not submerge it or leave it lying in a stream.

Can I use it wearing glasses?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Yes. Eye relief is 15.1 mm and the eyecups twist down, so you get the full field with spectacles on.

What battery does it take?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

A single CR2 lithium cell, included. It is not rechargeable, so carry a spare on long trips. The binocular itself works normally when the cell is flat, you simply lose the ranging.

Does it have ED glass?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

No. It uses BAK4 roof prisms with coated optics, not extra low dispersion glass. That is part of why it is £349 rather than £900. If your priority is the last few percent of colour correction rather than a built in rangefinder, a plain ED binocular is the better buy and we would say so.

Is the laser safe?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

Yes. It is a Class 1 eye safe 905 nm laser, the same class used in consumer golf and outdoor rangefinders.

What is the difference between the black, green and sand?

keyboard_arrow_down
add remove

The armour colour, and nothing else. Same optics, same magnesium body, same rangefinder, same price. Green and sand sit quieter against cover and stubble, black is the classic.
