In the world of precision hunting, Leica has always been synonymous with optical quality and technological innovation. In September 2024, the German company launched the new Geovid PRO SE 8×42 and 10×42, tools designed to satisfy the most demanding hunters, combining top-level performance with an extraordinary price of 2550 €. This new version of the binoculars with rangefinder promises to revolutionize the market thanks to its quality-price ratio, beating competing models by more than 1000 euros less, without compromising quality or integrated technology.
Ergonomics and precision optics
The design of the Geovid PRO SE has been designed to ensure easy and intuitive use even in the most difficult conditions. The robust and weather-resistant magnesium chassis is rubber-coated for perfect ergonomics, allowing the index finger to rest naturally on the measurement button. The optics, fruit of Leica's renowned German tradition, offer a Light transmission greater than 90%, ensuring sharp, three-dimensional images thanks to the use of prisms Porro-Perger, one of the distinctive features of the Geovid series. This unique optical system ensures sculpted contrasts and exceptional color fidelity.
State-of-the-art rangefinder and ballistics
The technological heart of the new Geovid PRO SE It is the laser rangefinder system that accurately measures distances up to 2000 meters with an accuracy of ±0,5 metersAssociated with the ballistic computer integrated, this system allows the hunter to obtain essential data in real time, including the angle of site, atmospheric pressure and temperature. These parameters are quickly processed to calculate the correct elevation or clicks needed for the ballistic turret of any riflescope, making the Geovid PRO SE an indispensable tool for those seeking extreme precision in shooting.
Through the app Leica Ballistics, Bluetooth compatible, hunters can store ballistic profiles of their weapons and ammunition, automatically transferring the data to the binoculars before the hunt. This feature allows you to always have customized settings ready, without the need to manually manage the menu on the go.
Leica ProTrack Integration
One of the most interesting novelties of the Geovid PRO SE is the function Leica ProTrack, which transforms measurement data into precise navigation directions, allowing hunters to reach the point of impact of the shot. Thanks to the integration with Google Maps and the American app basemap, hunters can locate prey even in the absence of a signal, using a simple arrow navigation system.
