Looking to purchase a compact rangefinder with ballistics function for shooting out to a mile ish. The Leica is somewhat appealing in that it seems to be able to connect to kestrel, applied ballistics, Hornady and geobalistics.
There is next to no reviews on YouTube and only real comments I found in forums related to poorly illuminated displays. With the displays it sounds like even though you can select the illumination level it still auto adjusts within a range. The ambient light sensor picks up illumination levels at the rangefinder, not at the target, so if your in the shade or inside building and your ranging into sun or against a bright target then the display may not be bright enough. Vortex seem to have an auto mode and then a manual mode to avoid this.
How are you finding the above mentioned "issue"?
What is the realistic ranging capability on trees, rocks, steel gongs?
How have your found reliability?
How do you go with reliability and connectivity with external apps and kestrel etc?
