MTC Rapier wireless laser rangefinder and Rapier Ballistic smartphone app - ON TEST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Fancy laser guided airgun shooting? Enter the new Rapier Ballistic wireless lazer rangefinder from MTC Optics - and Nigel Allen has been putting this £250 hi-tech new gadget to the test for AirgunTV!
Zap your target with the invisible lazer beam... and the MTC Rapier Ballistic not only gives the exact distance to the nearest yard or meter in its head-up LCD display, but also graphically relays information to your Apple or Android smartphone... and even whispers in your ear where, EXACTLY, you need to be aiming via its supplied wireless BlueTooth earpiece!
This film takes a detailed look at MTC Optics' groundbreaking new Rapier Ballistic RF, and puts both the palm-size laser unit and its (free) App software to the test in another highly-detailed AirgunTV review.

Where is Nigel now ? havent seen him in ages. hope he is ok.
Unfortunately he is dead...
@@nobunagakurenai4377 how did he die and how old?
Thank you Nigel, much more info than what Giles gave us. Makes my hawk look prehistoric.
+darran newman Thanks Darran. ;)
Please start making videos again!
Unfortunately he is dead
Hope your ok Nigel, not seen you since this video. Anyone have any information why or what’s going on please.
I'm okay, thanks... but have wound down the AirgunTV channel (at least for the time being) because of the prats that were coming into YT and cheating their view-counts to get advertisers' money - while others were sabotaging 'rival' channels who seemingly could do nothing about it (I suffered at the hands of one particular ****ker). After speaking with Google (in person, at their HQ in London, in late 2016), it was clear that they were aware of it, but not interested in doing anything about it. When, in early 2017, 'shooting' channels started getting hit with YT sanctions and AdSense earnings took a massive downturn, it simply wasn't an economically viable pastime to continue pursuing (I'm sorry to say).
@@AirgunTVabsolutely understand 🙏 keep well and I still think you were the best editor to that once famous magazine.
Good to see you are still about doing what you do so well Nigel.
Looks a fine bit of kit for those who must have 'one of those'.
MTC have a good reputation & this is keeping that going imo.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Tadpole. I appreciate that not everyone wants to go high-tech with a LRF... but for those who do, I have to say that I think the MTC Rapier will take some beating. I can see benchrest shooters in particular going nuts about the smartphone app... MTC's scopes set a new bar when they entered the scene around a decade ago, and I think the Rapier Ballistic continues that, as you say. ATB - Nige
That is an amazing product and also an amazing review Nigel... thank you 😊
Thank you for saying so, Mehmet. :)
I wouldn't use one nigel. looks a good bit of kit for those who want all the bells and whistles. but I've got sick of all the gadgets and gizmos and started to simplify things again. great video as usual my friend. hope you've been well.

Hi David. Yes, I know what you mean. While I like technology - and certainly don't begrudge the quest by manufacturers for moving it forward - I also appreciate the simple approach to my hobby. That said, there are certain things that I always think are more 'practical' than 'gimmicky'... and a laser RF is certainly one of them. I've been using them since the early 1990s - so I wasn't too concerned about complicating things by adding an MTC to my kitbag. And as comprehensive as its smartphone integration is, I like the fact that it can be 'de-cluttered' to suit my exact needs. It happens to be the most accurate LRF I've ever used, too.
sounds interesting nigel il share this on planet airgun for a member that's just asked about lrf's
It would stand out from the crowd, if Leica hadn't done something like this in 2016
Laser rangefinders per se are not new (by a long chalk), but I think MTC's integration with smartphone technology is a big leap in the right direction. I couldn't find Leica's app anywhere in either the Apple or Google stores. Can you tell me what it's called please?
@@AirgunTV I know this is an old video so you may not see this but, you might not have seen this www.sigsauer.com/store/bdx-combo-kit-kilo1400bdx-lrf-and-sierra3bdx-rifle-scope-3-5-10x42mm-1.html
What happened to Nigel?
Rest in peace
Well done Nigel - another quality upload.
Many thanks. 👏✔️
Blyme Nigel! While very nice, the rangefinder took a backseat to that most gorgeous rifle you were shooting!! Curly Maple no less!!! I'm a black powder muzzle loader shooter here in the USA & have 2 very fine custom made rifles in Curly Maple. I'll bet that rifle cost you at least a "quid & sixpence" whatever that means! "Ach du lieber, mein freund"! God save da Queen, but what for, only God knows!!!!!
Great footage and looks a great piece of kit.
Are there any decent rangefinders that are usb chargeable?
Does this work for rimfire.
Excelente explicación.!!. Regards from Argentina
Unfortunately no batterie supplied with them anymore and not that easy to get a hold of at the minute so if you have ordered one id get a battery ordered at the same time.
Great review, nice piece of kit!
Review?? this is onesided advertising where even the most basic things that literally all rangefinders have, are being highlighted as the second coming of Christ, please don't use the word review or perhaps it is a review in old Danelaw (England) where things are being out-watered to lose all sense of meaning.
Nigel, did you know that DailyMotion pays more on monetized videos than UA-cam?
+HarryWebb46 I don't doubt it - YT has stopped monetising the shooting channels...
AirgunTV I know. Kenny from 'myairgunreviews' has just duplicated his back catalogue of videos over to DM.
it is like a dream
...'cept it's actually reality ;)
Спасибо за видео. Отличный дальномер.
Спасибо, что сказал. Буду признателен, если вы поделитесь этим видео как можно больше в своей стране. В AirgunTV есть много российских зрителей
Hello, are you still there?
hi nigel can you please do a review on the wolther rotex rm8 pcp. I have 1 and I think it is brilliant. Thanks m8. Danny f 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
I want one,,, where to get it ?
MTC's website (see the video description) will show you where your nearest dealer is - or let you contact MTC to find out, Gerner...
I want it. I have the Daystate Regal.
Neat!
Mega super!!!!👍👍👍
I paid 80 quid off amazon , for a budget later range finder ,, gave it a ten min test and re packaged and returned, still waiting for my refund,, load of rubbish and inaccurate over short distances ,, similar to the one in this video ,, the same battery , 6 x magnification ,, if you should be foolish and buy such a thing , I suggest measure with a tape measure, a distance then check it , on the rangefinder , mine was 2 yards out over a 20 yard distance ,, 2 yards doesn’t sound much ,, that’s 6 feet ,, you have been warned ,,, gimmicks a lot of them , even had scan on it so you could calculate speed of a vehicle,, yeh right ,, right load of rubbish , gonna buy a wheel meter cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Pls comeback 😢😭
+P LENKY It's kinda not worth it any more. YT doesn't really support the shooting creators now (and even shuts them down!), and too many of the regular uploaders are now in the pockets of those whose products they're supposedly impartially reviewing.
What's the retail £ in the uk?
£250 SRP
£250 in the UK - as indicated in the video description. I don't know what it costs in other territories. International viewers should contact MTC via their website, the URL of which I've also put in the video's description.
What happen to this channel?
This guy is dead?
No... still alive!!!😀
@@AirgunTV ohh.. That's a relief😂🤣keep well
มันยอดมากจอร์ท
ขอขอบคุณ !!! :)
Is the guy alive..?
+Costas Papadopoulos ...and kicking
:) Be well man, it's been a while since u made a vid so I though something happened to ya.
+Costas Papadopoulos Thanks. YT is treating creators of shooting-related content like sh1t - and there's too much underhand stuff going on - so I've cut back (life's too short!); there's plenty of content on the AirgunTV FB page, though... and I have got a few interesting films I'll be releasingon this channel in the next few months. Just building up a programme ;)
Anyone use this for rimfire rifles and centrefire
Are you serious? You can't be lol
Thumbs up
Thank you. :)
