Kahles Helia RF 8x42 Binoculars

These Kahles Helia 8x42 RF binoculars will give you a good view when handheld. Its 8x magnification is perfect to get good close-up view of objects, without enhancing micro movements of your hands too much. The view is nice and steady. Kahles once more shows it deserves its high-end reputation by using very clear lenses that offer a contrast rich view with an impressive edge sharpness.

The letters RF say it all, this Kahles Helia 8x42 RF binoculars features an integrated laser rangefinder. On a high-quality OLED display (with five light intensity levels), the distance is shown in metres or yards, up to a distance of 1500 metres (1650 yards). For this you can do a single scan or use the scan mode. Besides this, five other parameters can be displayed:

•        Angle – the amount of degrees your looking up or down
•        EAC (Enhanced Angle Compensation) – the corrected ballistic distance you need to use with a rifle that’s sighted in horizontally
•        Temperature – the outside temperature
•        Air pressure – in hPA
•        Long range – for highly reflective and easy objects, this mode takes multiple measurements to calculate distances up to 4500 metres (4950 yards)

A viewing angle of 7 degrees (thanks to the magnification, resulting in an apparent viewing angle of 56 degrees) these Kahles Helia 8x42 RF binoculars has a field of view of 122 metres at a 1000 metres distance. Focussing, by the way, can be done from 5 metres onwards. To be able to make any adjustments to match your own eyesight, the right dioptre has a wide adjustment range of +/- 4 dpt. The eye cups can be twisted to adjust them in four steps for a correct eye relief.

The Kahles Helia 8x42 RF binoculars can be worn with a comfortable neck strap, that is easy to take of with quick release buckles. Its housing features a surface that offers a very secure grip, even when wearing gloves. The binoculars only weighs 900 grams and uses a CR2-battery.
