Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder
The Vortex Crossfire HD 1400 Laser Rangefinder is a compact, lightweight and highly accurate distance-measuring tool designed for wildlife watching, birdwatching, conservation projects and ecological fieldwork. Combining premium HD optics with advanced laser ranging technology, it enables nature enthusiasts, researchers and conservation professionals to observe wildlife and measure distances with confidence while minimising disturbance to animals and sensitive habitats.
Featuring a high-definition optical system with 5x magnification and a 21mm objective lens, the Crossfire HD 1400 delivers bright, clear images with excellent colour fidelity and edge-to-edge sharpness. Whether observing birds from a hide, monitoring mammals across open landscapes or conducting habitat assessments, the HD optical system provides a clear and detailed view of the natural world.
With a ranging capability of up to 1,400 yards (1,280 metres) on reflective objects and up to 950 yards (869 metres) on natural features such as trees and vegetation, the Crossfire HD 1400 is an invaluable tool for habitat mapping, species monitoring and environmental surveys. Accurate distance measurements help conservationists record wildlife locations, nesting sites and habitat features while maintaining a safe and respectful distance from wildlife.
The integrated Scan Mode provides continuous distance readings as users move across a landscape or track moving animals. This feature is particularly useful when observing birds in flight, monitoring wildlife movements or conducting population surveys across large conservation areas. Multiple target modes help users obtain accurate measurements through vegetation and across varied terrain.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the Crossfire HD 1400 weighs just 4.8 ounces (136g) and features a waterproof, shock-resistant design with protective lens coatings that resist dirt, moisture and scratches. Its compact size makes it easy to carry during long days in the field, while the intuitive controls ensure quick and reliable operation when every observation counts.
