I spent a lot of time looking at options from Swaro, Zeiss, Lieca, vortex, and Sig for a range finding binocular that met my needs as a long range shooter/hunter.
Glass quality is on par w Swaro/Zeiss, and way better than sig/vortex.
The onboard ballistics program is average at best. Similar to Swaro/Zeiss but not as good as sig/vortex. It’s good enuff for 500-600 yard shots but I don’t trust it beyond that. However, the ability to connect to a kestrel is a real game changer to quickly get AB drops and wind reading that display in your binos. I feel confident in my dope to 1500+ yards w the kestrel pairing and it’s much quicker and easier to use than anticipated. I really wish it had AB onboard but since I’d have to get wind readings anyway it’s not a huge deal. In my research, I read that some users experienced connectivity issues to kestrel due the magnesium housings limiting BT connectivity, but I haven’t had any of the these issues.
Leica doesn’t do a great job of providing “how to” content and the manual is worthless. However, there are other sources on the web that provide good enough info to get your going.
In short, I believe this is the best quality Bino/ballistics system on the market when using with a kestrel. As a testament, I’m now selling my G7 rangefinder.
PS I had a lot of issues w UPS on my delivery as I ordered overnight 2 weeks before a hunt and UPS lost them. Europptic did everything they could to make it right (including sending a pair to my destination) but i didn’t actually get to use them until I got back home.

These binos are the real deal!! The glass is top notch, the ranging is reliable, and the link (with my kestrel and phone app) is fast and reliable. One thing to know, with these binos, is you need to step up a size with your bino harness as these will not fit in the standard 42mm size pack (I tried the new Kuiu, the standard AGC, and the old style sitka and these binos wont fit in any of them). I ordered the XL size kuiu and the larger AGC and both sould work fine with these... As always, the customer service with Eurooptic is top of the class and is the place I always look to to buy any high end optic.

Ranged houses across the river at 3220 yds. Works really well. Bright clear optics compared to sig kilo 3000 binos that have blue green hue which is super annoying. I realize not apple to apple comparison but these are worth saving for.

I purchased this Leica 10x42 Geovid 3200.com range finding binoculars to replace my Swarovski 10x42 EL Range binoculars because of the added length of range and the Ballistic part of it that my Swarovskis didn't have. The glass is very close to being the same with several friends not agreeing on which is the better glass. The tint on both sets is a little different. I sold my Swarovski binoculars for what I gave for the Leica binoculars so it was a wash price wise. I still have to get the ballistics set up to my rifle but think I will be more than satisfied with it.

Purchased for a just completed northern Kodiak Mountain Goat hunt. 8 days in field with weather ranging from sunny and 50 to rain snow lows in 20s and 40 knot winds. Very simple to operate, glass is incredible and even tried fogging with breath and could always see perfectly through them. They handled the moisture, temp fluctuation from on the ground throughout the night to a 2 day pack out without a glitch. Considering changing my rifle glass to Leica based on it.

Excellent glass, ballistic software works great and the new app makes it easy to use. Highly recommended.
