Does this rangefinder still work in fog or rain? I am not talking like hurricane Katrina rains or anything that drastic, more like a steady drizzle

It works in a slight drizzle, but anything more than that shuts it down. The laser bounces off the raindrops and it won't give a result. But I believe ALL laser rangefinders would work this way; it's not a product defect. In general, I love this device. Works well, seems very accurate and easy to use. I'v had a lot of Leupold products through the years, and they are always a good buy.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

Maybe alignment is weak. I live in very humid area with very very heavy fog and the unit works well even when it is dripping with water. My biggest problem is night insects crawling on the transmitter and causing false alarms so I installed the transmitter inside a blue electrical box and placed a moth ball in the box. Replace the moth ball when false alarms start again.

I've hunted pigs in the rain with this scope on several occasions and it never failed. Got a big pig last weekend at 0440hrs and it was wet & freezing... No worries mate!

The camera works great at temps above 0 it does fog up. I sprayed it with glass defogger spray it worked at -13f after I sprayed it.

Since I've owned this scope it has never fogged up. I haven't had it out in the rain yet.

I can't say for sure for when I used it there was no rain just dew. I do really like it for the money and its tough enough for my needs. Hope it helps!

It may get water streaks but it will not fog. Be sure not to wipe it to hard or you will wipe the product completely off.

Just used it for moon eclipse watching last night and it worked great at 20F Michigan night condition. No fog occurred on the lenses at all.

Got rain with it and had no problems, as the fog I can tell you is that it's the best binoculars I have ever had. The picture is perfect, clear and very detailed. You can see every detail from afar. I do not wear glasses. I hope it helped you.

I've used them in the rain repeatedly while teaching at the range. No problems with sound or moisture.

I haven't used it with a moisture sensor, but even better than that if you connect it to the web as you should, it will pick up the weather from a local weather station and only water when it isn't raining. You can set how long to switch off if it has rained. Much more reliable than a moisture sensor I think! (I love this device by the way)

The lens on my camera never fogs. I used the camera all day long under and above the water. The only time had some water drips on the lens and I did not notice and few pictures came little bit unclear. If the underwater feature fail I believe you can still use as a normal camera. Hope this help you

It's worked well for me. Fogs up every once is a while, but they all do. I just use goggles a lot but if I plan to get shot in the face a lot I break it out.

I have found it useful when it is rainy or foggy - it doesn't allow water to seep in and distort your view. The front of course doesn't matter in that respect because most people don't carry a rifle pointing straight up
