Telrad works in the similar way - the difference is, instead of one one concave semitransparent mirror, it has a lens and flat semitransparent mirror.

Cheers thanks for correcting me It's not listed on the andrews website or the manual. The battery, switch setup etc is identical to my laser collimator. If it is an LED then the battery should last longer!

It's definitely small and light. I might see if i can place it next to my current viewfinder when i get another sent out (if it works )



cheers
