About this product
Laser Rangefinder Outdoor – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.
A handheld laser rangefinder for golf and hunting, quoting a maximum range of 600 m, 6.5x magnification and angle measurement from 0 to 90 degrees.
The 600 m figure needs explaining rather than repeating, because taken at face value it will disappoint you. Laser rangefinders are rated to a large, highly reflective target – a prism, a reflective sign, the flat face of a building – because that returns almost all of the laser pulse. A tree or a hillside returns much less, and the usable range drops to somewhere between a half and two thirds. A flagstick, which is a thin pole, returns very little indeed: on a unit in this class, expect a practical flagstick range of roughly 150 to 250 m.
That is not a criticism of the device – it is how every consumer rangefinder works, and 150 to 250 m covers essentially every approach shot you will play. It is simply not what the headline number means, and we would rather tell you now than have you standing on a fairway wondering why it will not read a pin at 400 m.
Same with accuracy: plus or minus 0.5 m is the manufacturer’s figure, and real-world accuracy depends on how steady you hold it and how bright the light is.
One rules point worth knowing. Under the Rules of Golf, a device measuring distance is allowed when the committee has adopted the local rule permitting them – it is not automatic. Measuring elevation change is not allowed. This unit measures angle, which means a slope function, so it is for practice and casual play unless that function can be switched off.
