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

ATN quotes 320 m, 2.2× 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
  • 8 h of battery
  • Light at 9.5 oz, 16th-lightest of the 112 handhelds here
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • Wide 25° view for scanning a field
  • ~$379, well under the ~$1,995 typical for handhelds here
Against it
  • Built-in battery, so no swapping in the field
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
  • Entry-level 256×192 sensor, with less detail than a 640
  • Zoom past 1× is digital and gets blurry
