Armasight quotes 932 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
  • Light at 14 oz, 4th-lightest of the 29 clip-ons here
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
Against it
  • Only 4 h of battery
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
  • Zoom past 1× is digital and gets blurry
