I posted on the launch of the new Leica Geovid PRO 32 HD rangefinding binos 2 weeks ago, and today got to handle them at SHOT SHOW in Las Vegas.
I personally think Leica hit a home run with these units.
They will be available in 8x32 and 10x32 versions, and include Applied Ballistics Ultra-Light ballistics software ON BOARD - good to 875 yards - so no separate Kestrel unit needed.
And for an in-app purchase for US$150, the AB Ultralight software can be upgraded to Applied Ballistics Elite for long range "dope" without a Kestrel AB meter - giving a ballistics solution as far as the rangefinder is able to hit a range to an object.
Priced at a competitive $3624 for both the 8x32 and 10x32 models.
These units are actually shorter than an iPhone 13 Pro Max. See picture for comparison - Geovid PRO 32 HD next to an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max.
These will start shipping to me on 1 April 2022. Please contact me to get your name on a backorder list - as these units will be seriously backordered, with Leica already getting way more pre-orders than available product.

Some specs and info:
• The first premium laser rangefinder binocular with 32mm objective lenses. – Approximately 2/3 the size of other LRF binos

• Still the best warranty offered by any premium optic manufacturer- 10 year protection against accidental damage (including electronics) and 30 year warranty against manufacturer‘s defects in optics and mechanics
• Optics that rival any 42mm premium LRF bino in a much smaller package
• VASTLY improved BlueTooth communication range (up to 10m) and computing capability
• Built-in Applied Ballistics Ultralite provides ballistic corrections to 875m
• In-App upgradeable to AB Elite via the app –no need to connect with a Kestrel for elevation and wind corrections as far as the Geovid PRO can range
• Ballistics managed by an all-new app designed and built by Applied Ballistics
• Enter wind direction and value via the app or directly via the buttons on the binocular
• Connect with a windvane-mounted Kestrel for automatic and continuous wind updates
