These will pair with Kestrel and Garmin devices. Full AB Engine. Full sensor suite (compass, inclination/declination, temp, pressure....)

Anynody knows the beam divergence size?
Any idea when they will be arriving to place an order?We are excited for them to come in

Got it! Thank you!It is the size of the reticle . This is by design.
Paired with Kestrel or a manual input. It will capture DOF.Also shows it can do wind, is this part of the laser technology and included in the ballistic solver?
Direction Of Fire would be part of the internal compass, but for wind values, is it simply pulling wind from a linked Kestrel or is it actually using the laser to determine wind downrange?Paired with Kestrel or a manual input. It will capture DOF.
At that price point the laser is definitely not giving you wind speed. If you look at their videos/how to, they explain 2 of the options for wind. One pulls from kestrel and the other is a user entry/guesstimate of wind or the standard 5mph and 10mph crosswind.Direction Of Fire would be part of the internal compass, but for wind values, is it simply pulling wind from a linked Kestrel or is it actually using the laser to determine wind downrange?

So is the beam divergence 1.77 mrad ?It is the size of the reticle . This is by design.
I can’t find the latest patents but the idea has been around for a whileIs the beam 850nm or 1550nm? Can’t find any info on it.
Also, how could a laser possibly be used to measure wind speed? I can’t envision any way that would work, regardless of expense.

@DocUSMCRetired How does the glass on these compare to the Kilo 3000? About the same? Slightly better? Way better?
Vortex Viper and Fury line have a blue tint, Razor HD and UHD tend to be more neutral, Sig also has the blue tint and I have not heard of any of their bino's not having the blue tint. Leica is more "warm", my eyes definitely have a preference for warm to neutral and optics with blue tint bother me. Someone posted that Vortex has confirmed they did not change the glass from the regular Fury HD 5000 so I am assuming these have the same blue tint.How does the glass on these compare to the Kilo 3000? About the same? Slightly better? Way better?
So, I'm a novice at portable ballistic calculators and input devices....really, have just used on-line calculators and made up try dope cards from the result.
For this bino/Kestrel combo....where do you do the data entry? Not for environmentals which I understand comes from the Kestrel or the range which is determined by the binos...but the rest of it. Muzzle volocity, BC, whatever?
I have been looking at this subject with some good degree of confusion and it seems to me (so far and yes, I'm an idiot on the subject) that data entry/screen display are limiting factors of Kestrel's themselves (and binos) and a preferred approach would be linking to an calc app on your phone for range/enviros and preserving the easier data entry/display of a phone app.
Am I way off base on this?
You are absolutely correct that there is much more independent research I need to do....and yes, I'm most often a proponent of RTFM.Your questions can be answered by pulling up a user manual for whatever unit you are looking into
It is 1.5x.1 mradAnynody knows the beam divergence size?
You can also create profiles on our Fury AB app and push them to the bino and use the bino standalone because the bino has a built in sensor suite.You can create profiles in the Kestrel itself. You can also create a profile on your phone and then push it to the Kestrel via BT. Then basically the workflow is: the Bino's range the target, that range is pushed to the kestrel via BT, then the firing solution is pushed back to the Bino from the kestrel via BT.
The Fury AB's will also work this way. You can also activate the laser from the app.I have been looking at this subject with some good degree of confusion and it seems to me (so far and yes, I'm an idiot on the subject) that data entry/screen display are limiting factors of Kestrel's themselves (and binos) and a preferred approach would be linking to an calc app on your phone for range/enviros and preserving the easier data entry/display of a phone app.

Did you call in to order? I am only seeing the older model on the website.I got mine on order from Liberty Optics. This is what I have been waiting for in a LRF Bino. Anybody wanna buy my Sig Kilo 3000s?
Yes I called Scott @LibertyOptics .......worth the call.......Did you call in to order? I am only seeing the older model on the website.
I would like to share a feature and to answer a question I have seen a couple times. With the Vortex Fury 5000 AB Binos you have the ability to choose where you get the firing solution from. So if you pair them to a Garmin or Kestrel then you can choose to run the solution from the paired device, or you can choose to run the solution internally in the Binos. Just make sure you go through the settings in the app.

Does anyone know if these new Fury 5000’s with AB will work with the Kestrel 5700 with Hornady 4DOF? I realize I’m crossing calculators here, but it would be nice if it would at least send a range over to my other device.
Not sure how you are interpreting what Doc mentioned as far as Garmin/Kestrel connectivity.Just wanted to clarify what Doc said. The Fury's pair to the Garmin but you can not see the Garmin's solution in the Fury's display. This is only available for Kestrel 5700 Elites with AB onboard.
