I'll be hardpressed not to break the bank on these !
Custom ballistics by micro Sd card. WOW

I had just purchased a pair of HD10x42's three months before SHOT, wish I would have researched and waited for the new model.

Re: 2013 Leica Geovid

I'm gonna pass on this one. This time. I don't like my ballistic program and my rangefinder on the same battery. Just me. Not a judgement.

Haven't seen the new model, but my old 10X42 have been superb, lost in the snow/ice (weeks but were returned by a guide, eventually), he didn't know they had a rangefinder. For my envelope, they are near flawless. I paid $1542 shipped, very worth it.

Anyone know when these babies are going to ship?

Re: 2013 Leica Geovid

I'm curious, is this model still locked to either metric or imperial units like the previous Geovids?

No, you can toggle between the two measurements.

 

[Dkindels]

Anybody using these yet?

I was hoping someone on the hide has one and would do a review on the new Leica Geovid HD-B soon. I have a Vector IV but scared to take it out of the country.

 

[Shooter0311]

Who do you guys think will have the 8x or 10x hd-b's for the best price?

 

[Macmathews]

I'd buy from Doug @ camera land !

I was told that the ballistics program only goes out to 500 yards. I don't know if thats true.

Would be a deal breaker for most of us though.

I will reserve judgment on these, but for now I'll pass.

There is a copy of the manual on Leica's web page.
The limit the unit will read out on the 12 preprogrammed ballistic setups is 875yds.
It will calculate and read out to 1000yds on custom setups (which you input via an SD card)

I'm glad I waited for the Bushnell one miles. I can't imagine the Leicas having that much better glass than these. Even if the glass is better it surely doesn't constitute the 3x price tag. As far as I'm concerned the ballistics program in the Leica is worthless without the ability to measure wind. No one will be replacing their Kestrels and iPhones for these. As soon as the Kestrel Applied Ballistics comes out, we will all be leaving our iPhones at home.
