Garmin XERO L60i Rangefinder with GPS, Ballistics, Hi-Rez Optics
Garmin has introduced a new, very advanced laser rangefinder that raises the bar in terms of hand-held ranging technology. The new Garmin XERO L60i Laser Rangefinder represents a major breakthrough with key functions not found on other rangefinders. This XERO L60i unit has onboard ballistics to help calculate your hold. And there are onboard temperature, barometer, and humidity sensors. And the unit even has geo-memory that can tag a sighted location with GPS. But all that sensor tech and sophisticated ranging comes with a price. This Garmin XERO L60i unit has an MSRP of $2499.99. That’s $1000.99 more than the highly-regarded Leica Rangemaster CRF MAX rangefinder ($1499.00), and it is $1650.99 more than the excellent Leica RangeMaster CRF Pro ($849.00).
Notable features of the new Garmin XERO L60i:
High-resolution, full-color Overlay Display
Very sharp visual optics with 32mm objective and 7X magnification
Ranging out to 2000 yards for trees and out to 1500 yards for animals
Laser Locate feature to set GPS waypoint on previously ranged objects/animals
XERO L60i can access Applied Ballistics solver with AB Quantum Garmin App
Can range up to 1400 times with just two AAA Batteries*
This official Garmin video covers the notable features listed above.

Notwithstanding the lack of anything in the online specs or manual, some review videos show what appears to show the camera-standard 1/4-20 tripod socket on the bottom. For those that actually want to know the distance of an object at very long distances (1500 yds and beyond), mounting an LRF or BLFR on a tripod makes life a whole lot easier and reduces frustration and fatigue levels tremendously. So, fingers crossed, that is what the videos show.
At the huge price, I’m guessing this is still only a 905 nm laser. While the specs say 7500 yds reflective range, this is NOT a really small, Safran monocular.
Last quick item re the Garmin, the specs shows that the included Applied Ballistic solver is the entry-level Ultralight. The associated AB license is to 875 yards (see https://appliedballisticsllc.com/ab-quantum/). I just spoke with AB Tech Support and asks them what it cost to get to the next level, Elite (15 sec time of flight). He said that is determined and priced by Garmin…for their other devices with AB Ultralight that’s typically $250.
At $2500 (plus likely $250) seems worth a look into apps that run on your cell phone to get some or most of the neat features in this Garmin.
