Revic Acura BR10 Gen 2 Binoculars

[JBahr]

Figured it out. From the manual "To access previous range data: While holding the MENU button -> Press the FIRE button -> Release both buttons simultaneously."

What you are looking at is the COM Firmware. Need to see the Bino on the bino

Yup, saw the other thread. Thanks for the help. I have 2.2. Called and left a voicemail.

You’re probably the best to answer this based on your conclusion that you will never run a 2 piece kit of RF and Bino.
I’m torn between the BR4 and the Gen 2 bino.
My hold up is the weather. Being in Wyoming, the wind and cold is the harsh reality. Emphasize the wind. I glass off a tripod more than any thing 8x Zeiss and only pop the spotter out to check antler size.
My fear I guess is if I have the Revic binos up on the tripod in the cold windy conditions to just pick apart the landscape, I am compromising them for when I actually need them to range accurately.
My initial thought is that having the BR4 with my normal 8x binos allows me to keep the range finder warm and ready until needed to work.
However, I hate using 2 pieces of gear when 1 can do both tasks. I would much rather run 1 bino/rf setup.
In your experience so far, have you found any weakness in the binos electronics when they’ve been out in the elements, especially cold and windy….down to single digit temps, after being used as your primary glassing tool for a day?

Do you use the Revics as your primary glassing tool for a hunt? Or do you run a separate bino to do most of the eye work and the Revic is more of your lazing tool. You have sold me on Revic for their lasers and ballistic solvers on board.

BR10 is primary glassing tool. Exposed to env conditions is actually preferred (for weather sensors). Laser and display work well below reasonable hunting temps, that is not a concern.

I use both whatever 8/10x bino LRF I ah e at the time and usually 15x bibos about evenly for glassing. The ballistic RF must stay out in the elements for sensors to pull the required data- keeping it warm means it doesn’t give you the real solution.
As for cold soaking with the Revics- nope. They have been excellent to well below 0° F for days and days- they stay in my unheated truck or trailer at all times, and it is very cold here for several months. Zero issues.
