The Bozily range finders are also good value for money. Nice review. Thanks.
I came here to start my airsoft sniping career
Too long and rambling
They all look alike.
Over here in N.C. Bushnell rangefinder advertised as hunting tool costless than same one only with golf marketing in mind.amazing.
Previously used an old Sky Caddie (SG4), and it's finally given out after 11 years. Tried many rangefinders, always had difficulty from 170 yards plus to lock in on the pin. Decided on the Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized, it's so easy to use from any distance away. Very accurate as well.
The price has come down to just under $400, so it's a little better value wise.
For the cost of it, I feel they could have included a better carrying case, but it is an exceptionally good unit if ease of use is a priority.
The Nikon will rattle slightly because it's a self leveller and sits on a small gyroscope. Great piece of kit. Having said that, I don't have one.
Hi. Thinking of changing from a Garmin s60 watch to a range finder and am completely lost what to change to. Any advice would be a huge help. Want one with a good battery, slope and a good case. What would you recommend Joel?
this are the best to deal with.
Can you change the battery in the Focus Z if it fails?
Very poor technical review, couldn't get this and that to work, also failed to adjust the focal length so that he never needed to hold away from eye etc. Expect reviewer to know how to use all features, if not check with manufacturer
Useful!
Zoom looks well good … thank you
I got a Rinkmo on Amazon, turns out great, the manual comes with great instructions
I have the Easygreen 1300 and was quite pleased with it. Mine came with a better case than your one, and did vibrate, but it was difficult to log onto the flag, sometimes. Other times it was quick and easy. My hands do shake, so I have just purchased the Nikon Coolshot pro. Although the Nikon is definitely easier for my shaky hands, the Easygreen was easier to see through. Having said that, having to keep your eye away from the viewfinder makes the Nikon ok for glasses wearers, but again you need your eye in the right place.
Sureshot pinloc 5000ips is pretty darn good.
Thanks Joel – excellent review. Bought a Focus x based on your recommendation.
I have a Himimi 1000M, does everything the Zoom does and is under €100!
Gotta be honest, I do not see myself using a range finder to the extent that it is worth paying those prices for. I use a mobile phone GPS app that I find particularly accurate when measured against a good range finder (within 5 odd yards which makes zero difference with my errrr "dispersion pattern"… XD) and since I pay for the premium version I get all the features of the app. I just can't see myself paying fairway wood prices for a laser, but that's me and I respect those who do.
Bitcoin breaks above the $10,000 in spot market. Now is the time to profit massively from the market. I was blessed to come across @neno_bryan34 on instagram , to test the waters I deposited 0.5 BTC and after 7 days I got 2.5 BTC profit. His precision and trustworthiness can’t be compromised.
perfect timing, i am just in the market for one..thanks!
The easy green does vibrate, you just need to know how to use it.
I Miss the Garmin Z82.
No Garmin?
The Volvik and Easy Green look like the Precision Pro rangefinders.
The "rattle" in the nikon is the mechanism that allows the lens to stay still while the outside of the unit is moving. Works like a gimbal.
Great test!!
I have a PeakPulse 6pro
Hi Joel !!! Greeting from Manchester, Ct. Great review. I have been looking into range finders of late. Interesting your review just came out here. Interesting options indeed. I have nothing that tells distances at this point. Out of these I think I like the Bushnell Tour V 5 shift. I just wish these range finders had better warranties. One thought I have had which wouldn't suit everyone one is there is a company called VORTEX OPTICS . They make range finders for hunters but some of them would work fine for golfers too. Great thing is they are warranted forever. You break it or if it becomes defective you are covered. They have replaced ones that have been in house fires from what I understand. Something that no one else has to my knowledge. Just a thought. 🙂 Your review as always is great. You did an awesome job on it. Thank you. I like to see all the options! Peace. Stay well my friend. Joe
I like my Precision Pro nx7
I like the Nikon. It's a lot cheaper in the US at around $400
Nice video, but I bought a Mileseey rangefinder off Amazon for £68 last week. I have used it twice, fabulous accuracy, great case. I have a Garmin S10 GPS watch also, but couldn't resist the rangefinder at that price, and if I had to use one only, I would go with the Mileseey.
Does the Zoom have a tournament legal mode or model? Kinda looked like the slope feature didn't have a switch (but I could have missed it).
I have the easy green 1300 and it does vibrate, it's in the menu……
The Leupold GX-5i3 is a good range finder.
I got the easy green as i am a cheap skate, but its very good. The vibrate does go off if you press the M button in error, but its easy to get back on, once you know what you are doing and after 100+ rounds with it in hand. Like that Zoom Focus though with the USB recharging, and who never wants to be a 0.5 yrd short or long… Nice review Joel
The Zoom Focus X is soooo nice!
