I’ve used this for a couple months now and it works exactly as advertised. My league course has GPS to the flag and this validates the distance. But what the GPS doesn’t do as well as this does is distance to a tree blocking the green or distance from some tree trouble (a very familiar position) to the opposite side of the fairway, etc. I’ve noticed the slope calculation and probably only used it a couple times since where I golf, I’m very familiar with the elevation changes and required club change. I find that I don’t have the most steady hands but the “pinseeker” feature makes that issue moot since it vibrates when it picks up the pin. This is an amazing product, great quality, and I would highly recommend it. If you have any questions about it, let me know, I’d be happy to answer them.

Unit works as described, select-able to have slope or non slope.Jolt function – I’ve noticed that when looking downhill at a flag with nothing but green behind the flag it will take quite a few shots before it will actually be able to pick up the flag. Otherwise, it usually picks up the flag rather well. There are scenarios where you will need to take a few shots to be sure, but it will is very noticeable when you actually hit the flag.Lighting – this is one of the issues with the unit. In heavily shaded area the unit performs okay. The monocular does not perform well to allow you to see in low light, but additionally the unit is difficult to give a reading at low light or heavily shaded areas. If 8:00 is dusk, know your distances prior to that time as the unit will not read anything.Accuracy – I would say this is a rather accurate unit, I did not use this at it’s extents, but for sure 200 yards and in, very accurate. I have a consistent 140 and also a 130 club, 4 times I was either lower or higher than the flag, trusted the unit and hit right on. Also compared to multiple GPS units of varying quality and again very close to matching. I would trust this unit more than a GPS.Battery – because you use it randomly, this is very difficult to measure. But the unit is available when needed and shuts off quickly when not in use. After 100 holes of golf (5 rounds), the unit is still showing full battery life. I am expecting the battery to be good for 1 to 2 years, depending on how much you golf.Quality – overall the quality of the plastics used seems to be of a higher grade and able to withstand some bouncing around within it’s case or even in the cart cup holder. The rubber jacket that it came with helps tremendously with this concern.Rubber wrap – sense of security, not really needed, but nice to have. Usually when you grab the unit, very little chance of actually dropping.Availability – the clip case clips onto the bag and is available for every shot quickly if required. I zip the case closed when not playing and unzip the case to just use the bungee closing strap when driving around in the cart. Works well.Size / Zoom – fits absolutely perfect in the hand. Reasonably easy to keep steady and the zoom is about perfect to help you find the flag. More Zoom may create the unit to be too difficult to be steady on a flag. I utilize 2 hands, one holding unit with the other over top to keep steady and have little issue finding the flag, except as stated above with straight down at the green shots.The unit is expensive, but I would say it performs very well. I don’t really know what more expensive units could offer that would make them worth a higher price other than ability to perform in low low light scenarios.The only reason for a 4 is the 2 areas which I think can be an improvement. Monocular low light (lux) visibility and distance pick up. If you plan to use this for Archery or things other than golf, you would need to find something that can perform at low low light for the AM setup or you’ll have to scout the area the day before to know your targets.

A very short learning curve. By the second round I had it mastered. Had been using a Garmin wrist GPS, put it away, don’t use it at all anymore. It goes so far beyond my expectations, but this is my first rangefinder. I use it for distances to traps, trees, hazards; even can measure how far I hit a drive. Do the research. I play with a friend who has very basic rangefinder, he says mine is so much better. The slope feature is way cool!

This thing has been great! I’m glad I didn’t try to purchase one of the cheaper range finders (with or without the slope technology). I’ve been extremely happy with this so far. The range readings are VERY accurate and it is VERY easy to lock onto the pin even from 350+ yards. The battery life appears to be great as I haven’t seen it drop at all in over 12 rounds. I would highly recommend this range finder.

A few things to note on this. I ordered one about a month ago and after about 6 rounds, small brown spots starting appearing in the view screen. By the end of the round there were 7 brown spots, blocking parts of the view and making the yardage hard to read. I called Bushnell and they said it was solar burn. Thankfully it was within a month so I was able to return and get a new one, so all good. So far the new one is good, though only 4 rounds so far.Separately I have noticed that somewhat frequently I’ll shoot a pin and get the pin seek vibration, then shoot it again and again the vibration but the yardage is a couple yards shorter. Then again and longer, and then shorter. Only talking about a couple yards, but still a little strange.I do like the slope feature, very helpful especially on mountain courses with significant elevation change. And super easy to turn off if playing in a tournament where slope is not allowed.

Have GPS device (watch) but this is now a must. Easy to use and get accurate distances to anything you point at

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he was over the moon. Said it’s amazing to use and is so accurate. Great quality and great device!
Mr G Eisen –

précis, fiable, léger et petit. Housse de rangement fournie.Le zoom X5 est idéal. Ne choisissez pas un télémètre laser avec un zoom trop fort : il est difficile de viser un drapeau à 200m ; un zoom plus fort augmente encore l’effet des tremblements et donc la difficulté à viser le drapeau.La technologie Volt (vibration à la visée du drapeau) permet d’être sur d’avoir bien visé le drapeau et non pas les arbres en arrière plan.Le Slope (désactivable pour les compétitions) donne une indication sur la distance relative au drapeau en fonction du dénivelé.

Telemtro eccellente . Indispensabile la funzione jolt che permette al dispositivo , una volta inquadrata la bandiera , di vibrare indicandoti la misura esatta all asta .Utilissimo anche lo shift per lo slope , che in caso di competizione in gara permette di disattivare la funzione permettendoti di non violare le regole

Gran aparato. Funciona a la perfección. Estaba un poco indeciso si comprar un reloj gps o este aparato. Y la vdd es que después de la primera ronda de usarlo, te das cuenta de que lo debiste haber comprado hace mucho tiempo. Funciona a la perfección, mide casi exactas las distancias. Falla por 1 o 2 yardas. Es fácil de usar y lo usarás en cada tiro, especialmente los de precisión. Lo único malo es cuando no pueder ver la bandera por algún obstáculo, o cuando hay muchos árboles en la parte de atrás, a veces es dificil medirle a la bandera. Pero puedes apuntarle al green y marca sin problemas. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. El cálculo del Slope es muy buena herramienta.

Nicht ganz billig, aber mit das beste was man auf dem Markt findet. Tolle Tasche. Der Laser ist in 2- Sekunden bereit zum Messen. Man muss 2-3 mal Messen, gerade wenn im Hintergrund sich ein Busch oder Baum befindet.Hier reden wir aber von einem Gesamtaufwand von ca. 5 Sekunden. Also kein Problem für das schnelle Spiel.Auch die Slope-Funktion ist sehr zuverlässig und stimmt genau.Klare Kaufempfehlung

Some how picked this up for $320. Thank you Amazon! This rangefinder is amongst the best out there today, the included carrying case and battery are nice but the gel protector is pretty ugly. Wait for a sale if you can this is a no brainer.
