Nikon CoolShot Laser Rangefinders: Pinpoint Precision
Nikon's new CoolShot 50i and CoolShot ProII Stabillized laser rangefinders are designed for golfers who want the most precise distance measurements for confidence, consistency and accuracy.
The CoolShot 50i is an all new design, created to be a versatile yet feature-rich device at an attractive price, while the CoolShot ProII Stabilized is the next iteration of Nikon’s award-winning premium stabilized rangefinders.When one swing can make a difference and precision distance measurements matter, users can trust in Nikon’s legacy of optical excellence.
Both models provide accurate distance, slope and height measurements for all types of golfers, from the casual weekender to the competitive tournament player. using They use Nikon’s new Dual Locked On technology, an enhanced function that clearly provides confirmation that the distance to the flagstick has been measured. When measuring overlapping subjects such as the flag, the distance to the closest subject is displayed with a highly visible signal in the viewfinder, plus a simultaneous additional confirmation.
Dual Locked On Echo1 technology (found in the ProII Stabilized) provides a clear visual confirmation plus a pleasant audible chirp. Dual Locked On Quake1 technology (found in the 50i) provides the same confirmation along with a gentle vibration. Both functions are employed to confirm that the distance to the flagstick has been measured, even when trees or other obstacles are in the background.
CoolShot 50i - Versatile, Powerful, Affordable
Nikon’s newest versatile rangefinder offers an array of the most user requested high-end features, modern styling and cutting-edge optics, all at an affordable price.
The Dual Locked On Quake1 technology emits a gentle vibration and visual confirmation, for silent yet unmistakable confirmation of target acquisition. An integrated built-in mounting magnet safely and securely connects the 50i to metal surfaces such as your cart or even your bag carrier.
There are two measurement display modes: a Golf Mode (slope adjusted distance) and Actual Distance (Horizontal distance ± Height). The Golf Mode provides a guide as to how far you should hit the ball when taking uphill or downhill shots. When using Actual Distance mode, the green LED of the external Actual Distance Indicator (ADI) blinks to inform observers of use to confirm tournament compliance.
The display is wide and bright with multi-layer coated optics that provide 6X magnification and a long eye relief, an advantage when wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses (with built in diopter adjustment for fine tuning). An adjustable red OLED display enables easier viewing, even in bright sunlight. The 50i is also sealed against the elements, offering IPX4 equivalent protection from rain.
CoolShot ProII Stabilized - Unshakeable Confidence
The CoolShot ProII Stabilized is Nikon’s top of the line laser rangefinder, featuring the next generation of the popular stabilization feature to reduce hand shake by approximately 80%3. Regardless of wind, distance or other factors that make it difficult to visually lock onto the pin, this new rangefinder provides smooth and stress-free measurements time and time again.
Hyper Read technology ensures rapid measurement response in as little as 0.3 seconds. The Dual Locked On Echo feature provides both audible and visual flagstick confirmation (can be toggled on/off).
It’s simple to use, with a bright field of view and a luminous, easily visible red OLED display. An integrated automatic brightness adjustment function fine tunes the display brightness according to the surrounding ambient light level.
The ProII Stabilized employs four measurement display modes including an Actual Distance mode that is legal for official golf competitions, plus a Golf mode that displays a slope adjusted distance to advise the user how far they should hit the ball. Other modes available include an Actual distance and height mode, plus a Horizontal distance and height mode. When using Actual Distance mode, the green LED of the external Actual Distance Indicator (ADI) blinks to confirm tournament compliance.
The premium construction features a high-quality 6X monocular with multilayer coatings for bright, clear images, and a long 18mm eye relief which allows easy viewing for eyeglass or sunglass wearers. It also features a wide field of view (7.5 degrees), adiopter adjustment function and waterproof and fogproof IPX4 construction.
