TimJ's Review of SIG SAUER Kilo 3000 BDX 10x42 Rangefinder Binoculars
First the good, they appear to range well, and for the price you get a lot for your money. I’ll give Sig a lot of credit for bringing the Bluetooth integration to these products because it should have been out years ago. For the $ it’s hard to complain too much about what you get. Sig is definitely pushing the value for your money category.
That said I do have some issues with the unit. First the lack of lens caps, this is a huge oversight, especially since the binoculars objective lens is only 1-2 mm recessed from the end of the binocular housing. It’s way too easy to damage or scratch a lens in the case etc. Second the unit has a great range of manual brightness settings, but the “Auto” brightness setting is way too dim in flat light and overcast conditions. Third the color tint on the right lens (I assume this lens contains the rangefinder display) has a very obviously blue/green tint. I’ve looked through and own other range finding binoculars and none of them have this drastic a tint. So if you think the image is going to compare to higher dollar units, it simply won’t, but they are 3x the price.
