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

Nocpix quotes 1,300 m, 2.5× 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
  • 640×512 sensor, 3× the detail of an entry-level 384
  • Smooth 60 Hz picture on a running animal
  • Swappable battery pack, so a spare doubles the run time
  • Light at 8.5 oz, 10th-lightest of the 112 handhelds here
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • Warranty: 5 years
Against it
  • Sensitivity (NETD) not published
  • No rangefinder, so you judge distance by eye
  • ~$3,099, well above the ~$1,995 typical for handhelds here
  • Zoom past 1× is digital and gets blurry
