Measuring Range And Precision - Leica GEOVID 402 Instruction Manual

MEASURING RANGE AND PRECISION

The measuring range of the Leica Geovid HD-R is up
to ±1825m/2000yds. The maximum range is
achieved with target objects with high reflectivity and
a visual range of approx. 10km/6.2mi.
Note:
For reliable measurement of distant objects, we
recommend that you either hold the binoculars very
steady and/or rest them on a stable surface.
The measuring range is influenced by the following
factors:
Range higher
