IPX5 is moderate — Good for splashes and rain, but don’t expect it to survive being submerged or used in very heavy downpours.

Accuracy in difficult conditions — Like all rangefinders, performance will degrade in low contrast, overgrown, or reflective/low visibility environments. Targets may be missed or readings unstable.

No angle compensation / inclinometer — It doesn’t seem to provide built-in incline/decline corrections (unless in modes or add-ons not documented). So for steep terrain you’ll have to do manual correction or use external tools.

Battery dependence — Using a CR2 battery; if you use it often, you need spares or know where to get replacements locally.

Display limitations — LCD display, which may be less visible in very bright sunlight or glare.

Minimum range — The minimum distance is ~6 m (≈ 7 yards) so very close-in targets (<6 m) may not range properly.

Good range vs price — 800 m is substantial for many hunting, outdoor, and tactical uses, especially at this price point in South Africa.

Versatile modes — The extra modes like Rain, Flag, Hunt help adapt to different conditions (rain, obscured targets, vegetation) which improve usability.

Compact & lightweight — 130 g and modest size make it convenient to carry.

Decent optics — Fully multi-coated lenses and BK-7 prisms give adequate clarity in many conditions.

Weather resilience — IPX-5 water rating, nitrogen purging and fog proofing are useful in rain, mist, or damp conditions.

Warranty + local availability — Sold by multiple South African retailers; two-year warranty.

Hunt or shoot in bush / veld where you want good range but don’t need super premium build or advanced environmental features.

Need something reliable, durable, weather-tolerant but still fairly affordable.

Want versatility in modes (rain / flag / hunt) for different target types or visibility conditions.

Prefer lighter, compact gear you can carry easily in the field.
