Leica remains true to its brand promise and its focus on the essentials – and continues to evolve as a pioneer with 30 years’ experience in rangefinding.

You don’t want to choose between powerful binocular optics and a precise rangefinder? You don’t have to: Geovid R offers the best possible combination in one product, at an attractive price. The extremely compact, lightweight premium binoculars deliver a field of view that is outstanding in their class, as well as great image detail and fascinating color fidelity.

With an improved measurement range of up to 1,800 meters/2.000 yards, you are perfectly equipped for almost any hunt. The ballistics function EHR, which outputs the equivalent horizontal distance for angle shots at up to 1,100 meters/1.200 yards, additionally facilitates an ethical shot.

The newly developed Geovid R models focus fully on Leica’s core values: powerful premium optics, precise rangefinding, maximum optomechanical reliability, and easy, intuitive operation. Thanks to highly efficient manufacturing and a focus on the essentials, you no longer have to choose between conventional binoculars and a rangefinder.
