The IWA Outdoor Classics is an annual fair held in Nuremberg, Germany, drawing industry leaders in firearms, sports optics, and related fields to showcase their latest innovations, attracting thousands of attendees.
At this year’s exhibition, our marketing team visited the Element Optics booth to explore their new 2024 products, which notably included three innovative rangefinding devices.
This article will focus on the rangefinder module that has been developed for use with riflescopes and prism scopes, with a special emphasis on their HYPR-7 scope. Additionally, for those interested in learning more about Element Optics’ Helix 1500 and Titan 3K rangefinding monoculars, our blog features two articles providing a brief overview of these products. Be sure to check them out.
How does it work?
The rangefinder module is not merely a standard rangefinder accessory; it features an advanced ballistics calculator. It is optimally paired with the Element Optics’ HYPR-7 scope which features a digital reticle. Attach it to a Picatinny slot on the HYPR-7 and establish a Bluetooth connection between the two devices. When a ballistic profile is created in the Element Optics’ smartphone app and synced with the HYPR-7, select it. After ranging, a firing solution appears on the digital display – users can choose either to have the reticle automatically adjusted or to be guided by a blinking dot that indicates where to aim.
The rangefinder module can also be connected to other scopes. After syncing with the Element Optics’ app, it will offer ballistic corrections in either MIL or MOA units, with the correction information displayed directly on the module’s screen.
Price and availability
The rangefinder module is slated for release towards the end of April 2024. It is anticipated to retail for approximately 530 €. Upon purchase, customers will receive a 3-year warranty period.
