The **Swarovski EL Range TA 8×42** is an unparalleled pair of binoculars that is enhanced with a very accurate distance meter. As such the binoculars are perfect for hunting and shooting sports, but also for hikes. The Swarovski EL Range TA is the improved version of the popular Swarovski EL Range WB.
## Swarovski El Range TA tracking assistant
The ‘TA’ in Swarovski EL Range TA stands for ‘tracking assistant’. This means that you can use these binoculars to mark and save your location. As such you can easily navigate to the place where you, for instance, just shot an animal. The binoculars can remember up to three locations at a time. As such you can use it during your hike to see which direction you need to go to and what distance you need to cross to end up at your last saved location. With the help of a smartphone you can check out the saved locations, including direction, angle and range. The app also enables you to save three different profiles.
With the EL Range you have two ways to end up at the saved location:
* The last three measurements you carry out are immediately saved in your binoculars. If need be you can immediately send them to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
* To use the tracking system of the app, you can enter the location manually or have it automatically displayed on your smartphone.
You can also use the Swarovski EL Range TA when you are on the road and have no cell reception.
## Differences with the original Swarovski EL Range TA
A couple aspects were updated. The button of the improved EL Range TA is located on the right side to make sure you can use the binoculars with one hand if you are right-handed, while holding your bow or gun in the other. In addition, the improved pair is enhanced with Swarovision technology, amongst which the fluoride-containing HD lenses, the enlarged “eye-relief”, the “field-flattener” lenses and the various coatings. You also benefit from 90% light transmission, a better resolution and a broader field of view. In addition, the new EL Range collects more data with each reach. As such you can learn more about the angle, air pressure, temperature and direction with the help of the electronic compass. The maximum distance is now 10 – 2000 metres. For the previous model this was 30 – 1375 metres.
The largest possible field of view and full edge sharpness guarantee viewing comfort. The open bridge construction is very ergonomic, making it feel amazing in hand. The vulcanized rubber around the casing also provides you with a good structure for a comfortable grip. You can control the pair with one hand and when you do you can feel how easy and controlled the focus wheel works.
We recommend regularly calibrating the compass, for instance, after changing the location or after extreme changes in the weather. As you calibrate the binoculars the green LED light will begin to flash. Turn the EL Range in all directions until the green light stops flashing. This process takes about 30 seconds.
