So I am at Sportsman’s Warehouse Wasilla Alaska with my Noctivids trying to buy ranging binoculars as I have been in the mountains weekly for six months and would love to know distances before moving, especially across valleys. I have three optics before me: my own NVD 8x42, the 10x42 EL’s, and 10x42 Geo’s.
The Geovids give data for range, incline/decline, temperature, and atmospheric pressure! I can even figure exact elevation diffs with known distance and incline in degrees. AND, the Leica ranges almost to 2 miles at 3000 yards.
The Swaro EL Range only measure to 1500 yards, no other data is given, and takes longer to give you distance.
BUT, the Swaro EL Range has somewhat superior optics on par with my Noctivids, superior brightness compared to the Geovids, better eye cups and better focus mechanism. Almost the same price. So I have a real dilemma. Buy the superior data pusher or the superior binoculars.
Any experience out their with either of these? Thank you
