Calculated from the sensor's pixel pitch and the lens focal length, for clear air.

Armasight quotes 1,305 m, 1.8× 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
  • 640×480 sensor, 2.8× the detail of an entry-level 384
  • Smooth 60 Hz picture on a running animal
  • Takes CR123 batteries you can swap in the field
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
Against it
  • Only 4 h of battery
  • Short 35 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
