Leica Geovid HD-B 42 "Edition 2017"
The overall concept of the new Geovid HD-B 42 "Edition 2017" brings about a revolution in rangefinding. Unique to these rangefinding binoculars is the supreme optical performance of their patented Perger Porro prism system, the optimised ergonomics of their bridge construction, and the additional integration of an extremely high-performance laser rangefinder with a multifunction ballistic computer. The Geovid HD-B 42 accesses an internal database with ballistic curves for practically all standard ammunition. In addition, users can upload their own specific parameters for hand-loaded or special ammunition from a microSD memory card.
The newly developed ABC® (Advanced Ballistic Compensation) allows hunters to determine the point of aim more easily especially when shooting longer distances. The precise parameters needed for a particular reticle or click adjustment are available in a split second. And all this taking the ammunition specifics, angle, temperature and barometric pressure into account.
The overall design of the new Leica Geovid HD-B and of Leica Geovid HD-R makes it revolutionary in the field of the distance measurement. The combination of high optical performance, due to the Perger-Porro-prism system, optimized ergonomics due to the bridge design and the additional integration of an extremely powerful laser rangefinder with multifunctional ballistic computer make these binoculars unique. It is thus possible to make a distance measurement for 3000 yards (2750 meters) respectively 2700 yards (2500 meters) (see product name).
Geovid HD-B binoculars make use of an internal database that covers the ballistic trajectories of practically all the standard calibres. Additionally, separate data from hand-filled ammunition or special cartridges can be loaded via microSD card.
The newly developed Advanced Ballistic Compensation (ABC) ballistics function lets the hunter determine the correct aiming point more simply and safely than ever before. In a split second hunters receive accurate information for their particular telescopic sight or click adjustment. And this also takes into account the cartridge, angle, temperature and air pressure.
Both models offer - in addition to extended distance measurement over long distances - a newly designed LED display that perfectly displays the measured data and is clearly legible under all light and weather conditions.
