Does anyone have suggestions for binocular laser range finder? Variable magnification would be preferred. Any comments on Leica Geovid? Thanks.

You'd be hard pressed to find a variable magnification rangefinder.
Heres a few comments on Geovids from previous posts.

Re: Binocular range finder suggestions?
I have been using the leupold RXB IV for about a year over here. They are under $700 and work as well as one would expect for that price. They are no geovids, but work well for my needs. My only real complaint is the shape and how they need to be held right up against my nose, there is no notch. It gets a little uncomfortable with extended use. Plus optics planet got them to me APO in 5 days... hard to beat that.

Looking at link that dpreston's posted, there they seem to prefer Leica over Zeiss. Here Zeiss prefered. I'll update list with links to be clear we are talking about same products.

It's "Ultrapod", they make several, this model ("Ultrapod II")is strong enough to hold the Leicas for use prone or on the bench. It folds up pretty nicely as well, and being plastic weighs pratically nothing.
The ARDs were from a set of objective covers with them, not Butler Creek, the Bushwhacker.
Anyway, the ARDs from a set of them (I'll have to try to find the size so I can order a couple of spares) snap tightly into the Leica objectives, especially after I built up the diameter of the inside edge a bit. I've expected to lose one, but haven't yet. Also, I can see no influence over the laser rangefinder's performance at all. Obviously, I don't use them all the time, but I like having the option.
I have never seen the Zeiss, and yes, the Swaro rangefinder performs a bit better than the Leica. But I've had these Geovids for years now, and have always found them much more than adequate both as a rangefinder and binoculars.

Re: Binocular range finder suggestions?
Well... we've done this before, we have lined up Leica's and Zeiss together, and the Zeiss hands down are ahead everytime. The Zeiss and Leica both have good glass, the Zeiss out performs on rangefinding, both in distance and discerning the correct target.
I'm thinking of trading my zeiss for the new bigger set coming out... it's only money...

Well said, but it is a lot of money!
I bought the Geovids several years ago (on Zak's recommendation) for $1495 shipped online from an old link deleted from the dealer's website, didn't think they would honor it but they did! It sure as heck is convenient to have RF/Binoc combined.
In my 800 meter envelope, the Leica rangefinder has been consistent and reliable, only slightly inferior to the Swaro. Past 800-900 meters the Leica starts show it's limitations, and past 1000 it's no contest although the Leica is still useable (unlike many others).
One other thing to consider, the Swaro's glass is good, very very very good. Sure it's a monocular, but a very dang good one at that!
Mike, how does the Zeiss binoc's rangefinder compare to the Swaro?
And what about the Zeiss rangefinder/monocular, is it in the Swaro's class?

Love my Geovid 8x42, great for hunting and range. Have tried the more cumbersome Zeiss RF but didmt think the extra weight really made it as practical for carrying etc. You cant go wrong with the Geovid!

I've got the 10X42, but if I had to do it over I'd get the 8X, they really are that much easier to use, the slight increase in power isn't worth it handheld.
With the 10s, some sort of "pod" is a blessing, even from the prone position where you can get pretty good stability using both hands.
A short monopod, with an adjustable ball head is in the works. For me, from the prone position, I think this will prove to be superior to the 3 legged pod, operationally.

Can't answer that, haven't played with the Swaro RF, although the Swaro binos I have looked thru have been first class. Main thing we liked most about the Zeiss RF binos was the range finder, it kicked butt over the Leica on range and ability to range in less than perfect conditions.
Keep in mind, Zeiss didn't release their RF binos for about 3 years after Leica, they worked on the thing long after it was designed, before it was released. As fast as electronics advance, 3 years is a long time. As you may know, there is a limit on how much laser power a consumer device may possess. I think the difference in the two is how sensitive the reception of the reflected signal is..... specify, I THINK, this is the difference.
Also, using NVD's ( PVS14) the zeiss beam appears more compact, that may also contribute. I think if we can get a bunch of RF binos together again, we may take some pics and share.... unfortunately, most of my gang has the Zeiss RF, only one guy left has the Leica's anymore.
I guess, last consideration, if 800 meters is your envelope, either is going to work out for you, most of the time. Past that, or in foggy/dusty or bright conditions, YMMV.

Re: Binocular range finder suggestions?
I bought a new pair of Leica Geovid HD 10x42 (meters) in November 2009. Had them 4 months and they quit working. I sent them back to Leica, while I was waiting for them to get repaired I picked up the Zeiss 10x45 RF. Hands down a better unit, worth the extra cash. They range farther, faster and the optics are better. The feature I really like is getting a range when you release the button. On the Lieca you push the button the reticule appears, than you have to push the button again to get the range. I don't like left handed design of the Leica either. I just got my Leica's back, they sent me a new pair which was great, so if you want to try a pair out they are for sale.

Re: Binocular range finder suggestions?
I learned three things about zeiss.
1. The first day I could not even range 250 to 350 yards. I was pissed to say the least...I was kicking my self for even getting rid of my Leica's. Then by chance I opened the Binocs a little bit and They worked great... I mean great.... See my eyes are really close together so I need the binocs completely closed to use them...
2. On a really sunny day I had to range tree line or big trees or bushes when I went to 800 + yards..
3. Then one day the clouds came in and It was overcast.... I literally could range animals out to 1700+ yards... Yes I said animals....It was completely amazing... I know for a fact and I have used all of the high end commercial range finder binocs.....
The zeiss 10x56 Are the best....

Re: Binocular range finder suggestions?
VKC, got the 3200 through Sportsman's Warehouse here in CO Spgs. They are available through some on-line sites though. Just google Bushnell 3200 doubler. Heck, bet Doug here's got 'em too. The FOV is just slightly out of focus at the edges on this optic though since the ocular lens on these Leicas is quite convex. It's perfect though on my Leupold 10-20x Compact spotting scope making it at 25-50x. Works well even at 50x on bright days. Best part is the portability and a slip-on system--way better than the screw-ins...IMO. Obviously not really made for a long spotting session though.
