Great Range of Rangefinders in Australia
Range finders are used to accurately gauge the distance to their target and adjust their aim or trajectory during sports like golf, hunting and military activities.
What to look for in a rangefinder?
Rangefinders feature cutting-edge technology and advanced features such as slope compensation, target lock, and multi-coated lenses for clear and precise imaging. You can consider these factors when choosing a rangefinder for your needs.
Accuracy:
Golf rangefinders are accurate to +/- 1 yard, which is more than enough for most golfers. Look for this standard when purchasing a model, as all laser rangefinders have this level of accuracy. Some rangefinders have additional features like windage, pinseeker technology and ballistic calculator to increase accuracy in difficult terrains.
Display:
Rangefinders have LCD, OLED or AMOLED displays. OLED displays have the advantage of adapting to outdoor lighting, whereas LCD displays can be a less expensive option. AMOLED offers the best quality display.
Magnification:
Magnification determines the image size on the display, but it doesn't directly enhance accuracy. What high magnification can do for you is help you identify your target better. Most rangefinders come with 6X magnification, while some models offer 7X magnification.
Slope:
Laser rangefinders typically come with or without a feature called "slope," which compensates for elevation changes between you and the flagstick to give you the true yardage. It’s usually beneficial to get a rangefinder with slope, as it's a big differentiator and can be turned off if needed.
Some additional handy features to look for in a rangefinder are:
- Rangefinder with pinseeker technology: The pinseeker technology is designed to detect and isolate the pin from the background, making it easier for the golfer to get an accurate reading. The pinseeker technology is especially useful for golfers who play on courses with a lot of trees or other obstacles.
- Rangefinder with ballistic calculator: Ballistic calculator helps hunters and shooters determine the correct aim and shot placement when using a firearm. It factors in variables such as the distance to the target, bullet trajectory, and wind conditions providing users with a more accurate way of determining how to adjust their aim.
- Rangefinder with angle compensation: This feature takes into account the angle between the device and the target to provide a more accurate measurement of distance.
