Leica CRF Pro Rangefinder

[mthayr]

Can confirm the new pro unit has a compass. Haven’t used basemap, but have experimented with the tracking feature within the leica ballistic app (protrack). Early impressions are good. You just connect via bluetooth and enter the protrack menu. From there, whatever you range gets sent to the app and displays the nav to that previously ranged spot

Thanks!

One last question, in the Leica Ballistics app, using the AB-Lite enabled device, are Custom Data Models (CDM) available for bullet BC, or still just G1 and G7? If not, any idea if upgrading to AB Elite provides access to the CDMs (I checked the manuals and specs, and surprise... couldn't find anything)?

AB-Lite is just G1 & G7. I just decided to upgrade to AB-Elite. I have to admit I am still learning how to fully take advantage of the upgrade, but I can tell you that once upgraded it does give you a third custom option called "CC". Also, I found at the link below that CDM is a confirmed option you gain when you upgrade to elite.

so the CRF-R is no EHR first, and the CRF pro has EHR first capability?

I spoke with someone at Leica that seemed to know the units well and the CRF PRO is the only rangefinder in the lineup that offers EHR only (not LOS first then EHR). The CRF-R is the same as the CRF 2400-R in that it is LOS then EHR. I pushed on trying to discern if there was a way to make the CFR-R/CFR 2400-R do EHR only and he said no.

Thanks, in the past, I've spent some time on the phone trying to get them to push some kind of update for the 2800.com. The optics and laser quality keeps driving me back to Leica so ill probably end up with a pro.

I'm testing out the Leupold Full Draw 5 this evening next to my old Sig Kilo 2000 and my Swaro SLC 10s.

Question for the OP @autumnaspens, do you see any downside to the CRF Pro for archery? EHR is pretty much instant? What's the low end range?

How long is the ballistic solution display on this unit, vs say the sig products??

Only downside would be losing out on archery specific ballistics when compared to the LP Full Draw units and Bushnell Broadhead. I know the Sig Kilos also incorporate arrow speed when updating software. Otherwise, you’re not losing anything when compared to other RFs that use trig for cuts.

Lowest I can get my unit to read is 10 yards, so no issue there for me. EHR is first and only reading in EHR mode, so happy with that too. I have owned some Full Draw units (both 4 & 5) and I am still planning to use the CRF Pro as my do it all unit for the foreseeable future. What got me converted to the Leica alone was the optics, EHR first update, and the updated warranty also

I’ve tested both and there wasn’t a discernible difference in my opinion. Both are brief.

Timing is similar and both display in sequence (yardage, elevation correction, windage correction). Sig units do give you angle and battery indicator info on screen which Leica does not
