Thread: Leica Geovid HD-R/HDB/3200.com V.S Geovid R

I did use the R model for a long time and I cannot imagine the glass quality getting any clearer.

If there is any difference it would have to be very minor.

The Rs have no tinting and the need to re focus when scanning over different distances doesn’t seem to be as picky as vortex and sig binos I have hunted with. This is even more noticeable at first light. You probably know what I mean having used the HD-Bs.

Field of view is also great. Older models did not give angle compensation but new ones do.

Hit range and the line of sight distance appears for a couple seconds then the corrected range will show up.

The red led readout is nice and bright even in full sunlight. It times out quickly unlike other binos which save battery life and lets you get back to scanning.

You have one option only for your readout so make sure you get them in metres if you like metric or yards if you are weird.

If you decide you want to start using ballistic computers and environmentals then buy a kestrel to supplement the Rs. That would be a mean set up and still cheaper than leicas ballistic models.
