The combination of ruggedness, simplicity, versatility, long battery life, and affordability make this a great choice for mixed practices, research, academia, and wildlife. The screen, keyboard, and trackball allow easier use of some of the more advanced features (measurements, gestation tables, dual imaging, saving and cataloging images).

The IBEX PRO is versatile—it has a screen for those applications that require it or people who prefer it, but still accommodates the video headsets. The mixed practitioner can use it laptop-style in the clinic or chute-side, and then strap it on to use with headset for field use. It uses the same large selection of NEW variable-frequency transducers and accessories that the LITE does.
