I hear you, same here. Have to pay to play on this one, unfortunately. That said, I think you can probably swing a slightly better deal than the price points you mentioned if you call around.

One thing I’m curious about is it’s sensors
I bright sun are you going to get a correct temp reading?
The kestrel you definitely want to spin it and then lock it or it heats up in the sun and gives you shit elevations.
In the video the guy talks about retained velocity and I think that’s awesome for hunters
I’d love it if Time of flight was listed for my usage as that’s really helpful for spotting.

It’s like the older version, it’s internal to the unit, so acclimation would take time (I think he said 12 minutes in the video). If you see my comment re: the video, you can manually set the temperature, which is the mode I’d be using. Same on the wind, they’ve made it relatively easy to set manually for both.
32 objective and AB ultralight though.
I believe the AB Ultralight is a misprint. Should be the AB Elite.
I don't use a AB kestrel I have a cheaper one that reads everything then a app on phone for drops. It would be very nice to have it all in one. But are they touchy I might be In 12 degrees or 90
Oh wow I never see those on sig website. I will look into them if there the same as the 10k it's a go

I just saw in the video manual temp capability
I can work with that using my kestrel.
Waiting 12 minutes to get to temp? Nope.
but honestly I’m really not focused on the sensors or software for this unit.
I’m more focused on its ranging capability for the $$$

Very interesting review video posted on page 2. Seems like it has some sort of projected display so the glass/optical quality may be a significant trade off. Still, it seems like a very capable unit. Can't wait till more get into people's hands for review and testing!
I really hope the glass is better than the sig 3000
Curious on the glass quality. If it’s a substantial upgrade it’s a no brainer
I talked to Doug at camralandny today helping me with another issue but while I had him on phone I asked about these he said next month should be here and he hasn't seen one but didn't think the glass was going to be that much better.
Does anyone have info on a tripod mount for the 10k? I have one for the 3000 hopefully the same
I will be ordering a pair when they come out
I like this RRS Cinch-LR mount the best for binoculars - verses the center mounts that attach to a tripod - many of the center mounts break really easily (like when wind blows over your tripod and bincoulars)...

Not sure it it will work with the Sigs?
RRS Cinch-LR Elite - Bison Tactical - Binocular Adaptor
The RRS Cinch-LR Elite is an extremely easy way to mount your binocular or monocular optics to your tripod. Made in America.

Ya not quite enough room to make it work on my 3000’s.I like this RRS Cinch-LR mount the best for binoculars - verses the center mounts that attach to a tripod - many of the center mounts break really easily (like when wind blows over your tripod and bincoulars)...

dang, they are nice, and there are not a lot of great solutions for mounting binoculars...
Guess I didn’t push my up far enough. When I tried it kinda double up on me.
If it's the weatherflow wind meter they're gtg I've got one and love it.
I wanted to shoot into a field this weekend that was 1700 yards away, and I was thinking about that basemap feature would have been nice to check easily if that was public or private land rather than searching through the topos to not being too sure...

So is it like onxmaps or something?
much the same but better and cheaper
Alright I will look into it. I use onxmaps alot for work and hunting ect.
Yeah there was a guy in fb that had a discount code pm me I'll try to find it
I’ve been using the cinch on my K3k’s for a couple years with excellent results
Where did you order yours?
I appreciate it. Let me look into more I haven't got to play with it much. But all my buddies us onxmaps as well
10% off anyway: https://www.basemap.com/coupon/
Sorry for the digression. These binos look awesome and someday they'll be in budget. I wish they had wind buttons but other than that they seem awesome.

Liberty optics has them on the website now for a price you can't refuse. Make sure you add them to your cart. Scott said he's only got 20 to order.
I was told more like Thanksgiving time on these now
this is literally everyone in the manufacturing market right now. Stating one thing and then another thing happening. There’s nothing wrong with unforeseen circumstances; apparently it happens a lot so they say, but habitual over promises is getting rather annoying. But that’s just me venting.
So no units are in the hands of us mortals yet? I guess it takes a while to switch out 3000 labels to 10k…
I received my 8K monocular yesterday from EuroOptic. So far living up to what is advertised, and I’m happy the solution is onboard. That said I did verify I can connect it to my Garmin 701 in external mode without a hitch. Hit 2500 yards hand held on a flat of oak trees below my position yesterday evening. I don’t view that as a real test yet, but it’s encouraging. BaseMap connection and use went exactly as instructed. Return is very quick. First impression is that it is a very nice unit. I am slightly tempted to grab a Terrapin-X to compare Just for fun, but I also prefer this smaller form factor for my bino harness. Cheers.
My 8k was waiting for me at the door this evening. Ranged a few trees and set it down. Started skimming through the manual and it does have the reticle alignment feature that some have asked about, but let me caution you, it’s for advanced users only, so I’m fucked. I would imagine the 10k will have it as well.

They need to post the PDF copies of them manuals for the new RFs. The 8Ks are in a few hands now, so no sense in keeping them hidden.
The process is easy, the manual wording just sucks. You tripod mount your RF and point it at a tiny target far away. You range, and if it doesn’t return the correct result for the target, you move it around until you determine where the laser actually is in relation to the reticle. You then adjust the positioning of the reticle. Once you aim at the tiny target with the reticle adjusted and get the return as expected, you’ve got it squared away. Anything with a sharp edge that’s far away will work reasonably well.
