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

Bering Optics quotes 900 m, 1.2× 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

Built-in laser rangefinder
Takes AA batteries you can swap in the field
Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
Records video and connects to a phone app

Against it

Short 35 mm lens: a wide view, but less reach than a 50 mm scope
Entry-level 384×288 sensor, with less detail than a 640
Rangefinder but no ballistic calculator, so holdover is up to you
Zoom past 3.5× is digital and gets blurry
