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

RIX 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
  • Sensitive sensor that picks out small heat differences on humid or rainy nights (104th-best of 285 that publish it)
  • Built-in laser rangefinder that feeds the ballistic calculator
  • Takes 18650 batteries you can swap in the field
  • Waterproof (IP67), survives a dunking
  • Records video and connects to a phone app
  • Warranty: 5 years
Against it
  • Entry-level 384×288 sensor, with less detail than a 640
  • Zoom past 2.6× is digital and gets blurry
