Thread: Swarovski EL 10x32 range question

Hi everyone, been lucky enough to get the above binoculars. I have input the validated ballistic information into the binoculars.
Quick question :
Do the binoculars show the true ballistic range automatically(for steep up or downhill shots?) , or does it need to be adjusted somewhere else in the binoculars?
Manual is a little bit vague…

Also, does anyone find thePLUS section useful, and if so what parameters?
Thanks

Mine show the range and TBR range out to about 800y then its just the range

Hi, any idea how to set that up? Thanks

was like that when i got the man but there is probably a youtube video that shows it

Mine show two ranges

Menu button is under the hinge then use range button as well to enter or menu to cycle. Can change yard or meters etc. top number is line of sight bottom is adjusted range with inclimeter or ballistic range. No adjustment needed u just dial to the bottom number range

Critical to read out the bottom number.

Missed a chamois buck a fortnight ago from confusion of this. 500yards LOS, 400 corrected, dialed 500. Buck lives to grow another day. Lesson learned

Can you not just put your ballistics into the app and get the bins to tell u range and what to dial like the 10x42?

The guys in H&F said that with my rifle ballistics in the binos it automatically showed the true ballistic range ie in the one reading I.e. I didn’t need the second reading SO now I’m real confused… any other EL Range experts out there to tell me what is actually needed? Cheers

Assume you got your issue resolved?

How you finding those bino's? I ask as I am contempleting swithching to a pair of LRF binos, but struggle with the weight of the 10 x 42's. Can't quite understand why manufacturers haven't applied themselves to building some high quality lighter binos.

TIA.

Yep sorted. As earlier , top line is line of sight and bottom line is TBR. It was unusually difficult to get good advice on how to set up TBR but I suppose it’s because they’re so new to market.
No issues with weight at 690 grams. these are quite light for alpha binoculars. The EL’s 10 x 32 are good compromise of weight vs FOV. I’d suggest if you’re doing a lot of walking go the smaller size, but if not too mountainous or too demanding, or close to bike or vehicle the 10 x 42 would be better.
As mentioned by others the LRF binoculars make ranging so much quicker and easier. I’m definitely converted there. You end up ranging hillsides and distance in general in case the quarry pop out somewhere and you need to act quickly. I was concerned about technology becoming outdated quickly, but this does everything I’m ever going to need it to do hunting wise.
The biggest thing was the cost at close to $5k!! Still getting over that. But long term I’m sure is a good decision. But there are other good brands out there too. The Vortex LRF’s are very good I hear.

Hope that helps.
