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

Nocpix quotes 1,800 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
  • Sensitive sensor that picks out small heat differences on humid or rainy nights (the best of 285 that publish it)
  • Smooth 60 Hz picture on a running animal
  • Built-in laser rangefinder
  • Swappable battery pack, so a spare doubles the run time
  • Light at 24.7 oz, 3rd-lightest of the 22 binoculars here
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
Against it
  • Rangefinder but no ballistic calculator, so holdover is up to you
  • Warranty terms not published
