  • Built-in laser rangefinder that feeds the ballistic calculator

  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • Warranty: 5 years
Against it
  • Sensitivity (NETD) not published
  • Built-in battery, so no swapping in the field

  • No waterproof rating published
  • Zoom past 2× is digital and gets blurry
