The IWA Outdoor Classics is an esteemed yearly event taking place in Nuremberg, Germany, attracting leaders in the firearms, sports optics, and associated industries to unveil their most recent innovations, attracting thousands of visitors.
During this year’s fair, our marketing team made their way to the Element Optics exhibit to inspect their lineup of new products for 2024, prominently featuring three novel rangefinding devices. This piece will shed light on the Titan 3K, a distinguished rangefinding monocular from their collection.
Additionally, for those interested in gaining further insights into Element Optics’ Helix 1500 and the brand-new Rangefinder module, our blog hosts two articles that offer a short overview of these products. Check them out.
Impressive measuring ability
The “3K” in Titan 3K signifies its capability to accurately measure distances up to 3000 meters under standard conditions, with the potential to exceed this range in optimal conditions. This is double the capability of the Helix 1500, another new product we reviewed at their booth, positioning the Titan as the choice for users with needs for extreme long-range shooting. The device features a large laser lens, key to its ability to achieve such impressive distances with high accuracy. Additionally, for enhanced stability during measurements, it can be mounted on a tripod, catering to the precision requirements of long-range shooters.
Battery
The Titan 3K distinguishes itself with a larger form factor and is designed to be used horizontally, unlike the more common vertical orientation of similar devices. This larger size accommodates an 18650 battery, which not only fits perfectly inside the device but also enhances its operational longevity. Conveniently, the battery can be charged directly within the device using a USB-C port, eliminating the need to remove it for charging. Additionally, the Titan 3K offers a magnification level of 7x, enhancing the user’s ability to clearly view and measure distant targets with greater precision.
Advanced Ballistics calculator
Users have three modes to select from. The straightforward LOS mode displays the direct, line-of-sight distance to the target; the HCD mode shows a distance to the target that has been adjusted for angle; and the BAL.C mode, which engages the device’s sophisticated ballistics calculator.
The ballistics calculator smoothly integrates with the Element Optics smartphone app. This feature allows users to input data specific to their ammunition, enabling the creation of personalized ballistic profiles. Once a profile is established and synchronized with the rangefinding monocular, users can easily select it from the device’s menu. When a target is ranged, the Titan 3K computes and exhibits the required compensation in either MIL or MOA units. This functionality positions the Titan 3K as a crucial instrument for shooters aiming for precision, providing tailored assistance for achieving accurate shots.
Pricing and availability
The Titan 3K is currently on the market for 550 €. It serves as an indispensable tool for individuals engaged in extremely long-range shooting who require a dependable tool for bullet drop compensation.
