AGM Global Vision quotes 950 m, 2.4× our figure, because makers usually measure against a person’s full height rather than their width. Why the numbers differ

02Pros and cons

From the published specs, not owner reports.

For it
  • Takes 18650 batteries you can swap in the field
  • Light at 10.6 oz, 28th-lightest of the 112 handhelds here
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • Warranty: 5 years
  • ~$745, well under the ~$1,995 typical for handhelds here
Against it
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
  • Entry-level 320×256 sensor, with less detail than a 640
  • Zoom past 3× is digital and gets blurry
