Nikon COOLSHOT PROII STABILIZED Golf Rangefinder | Waterproof & stabilized laser rangefinder with slope, OLED display | Official Nikon USA Model

Several of my golf buddies have range finders from Blue Tees and Bushnell. These are all fabulous range finders with their own sets of pros and cons, so when it came time to buy my own I wanted to see what other options existed. The Nikon is a bit pricey (not so much when compared to a top of the line Bushnell) but the image stabilization is an absolute game changer.With both the blue tees and the Bushnell, the range finding is fine but I always found from over 150 yds out, that getting a stable mark on the pin is challenging. Jolt and (insert marketing term for being locked on to a target here) is helpful in increasing confidence you've shot the right thing. But nothing compares to seeing the pin through a stable image and shooting it directly. Couple that with the nice green ring and pleasant chirp you get when locked on and I now have 100% confidence what I've measured is an accurate number.Optics are fabulous, easily as good as any Bushnell I've come across. The display is extremely crisp and bright. The diopter adjustment is great, easy to change, but holds its position so it does not fall out of place. Its also a small form factor compared to the BlueTees or higher end Bushnell and feels wonderful in the hand.Cons are few and mostly begin and end with no integrated magnet and a somewhat low aesthetic value (but otherwise well made) included case. That said, its water-proof so setting it down on the fair-way while I take my next shot has never concerned me. There are 4 modes that are confusing to begin with, but make sense after a few-round which is the only reason I rated this range finder 4 stars for easy-to-use.Tldr: This is fantastic, high-quality range-finder on par with any Bushnell product I've seen. The image stabilization plus green ring and chirp set this apart and make it in my opinion the best range-finder currently on the market.

Love the image stabilization and picking a range when playing golf. Nice clear view and easy to pick out the pin and get a reading. Easy to use. Battery last a long time. No complaints. Would recommend.

I bought this as a replacement to my Bushnell X3 pro plus ($600 +) that I left for a few minutes in the golf cart to find it missing (stolen) when I went back. I couldn't trust myself spending top dollar to potentially do the same thing again. Eventually I caved in and bought this Nikon, that I considered before buying the other one, just because people had mentioned it works well in foggy conditions. So far I have no complaints. appears to give me an accurate reading and works well. No magnet to keep it more handy, but again, I purchased this knowing it didn't have all the bells and whistles. I'd purchase this again

This is my first personally owned rangefinder and I am thoroughly impressed. Accuracy is spot on. Very well lit and easy to read. Pin locking feature is very clear. Locks on crazy fast in less than half a second most of the time. The best feature by far is the image stabilization. I have been mooching off of my playing partners for years borrowing their rangefinders and have always had issues with locking onto pins because I couldn’t keep steady enough to lock onto the pin. Usually I end up holding my breath, tensing up, holding an awkward posture, or leaning on my cart to stay still. I can now hold the rangefinder completely still with one hand and lock onto the pin almost immediately. The stillness of the image and target is uncanny. My playing partner bought one right after trying it out during a round with me.Something to note is that this doesn’t come with a magnet. I read somewhere magnets can interfere with or damage the gyroscopes/stabilization hardware, so I would refrain from putting a magnet strap on this. In addition, Nikon could have done a better job of adding rubber over molds as the hard plastic doesn’t look to be able to take an impact or drop at all. Considering this likely would have to sit in the cart cup holder or compartment considering there’s no magnet, I would have liked a more durable shell/casing. Bushnell definitely did a better job there. Just to be safe I would recommend keeping it in a case and take it in and out when using.For me the performance very much outweighs the need for a magnet or extra idiotproofing. Highly recommend.

I like this product, but I have had problems with it picking up distances behind flags and not the actual flags. In several instances, it gave me the "pin lock" indication that was 25-100 yards off!!! it appears that the pin lock selects branches of trees in the background over the actual pins. I've had to target the ground next to the pin to get distances which doesn't work going uphill.The image stabilization feature is awesome.I find the lack of magnets annoying. It takes up valuable beer space because it lives in the cart cupholder during a round of golf. The Bushnell is far more convenient there. Likewise, the Bushnell magnets make it convenient to pick up off the ground with a club head.I really want to like this product more than I do. A GPS is probably a better tool and cheaper too. I would only buy this after I have a good gps.

I was anxious to use it... WOW works perfectly just like the adverting says...

Once I figured out the different viewing options it is very easy to use. Locks in quickly and accurately. Would definitely recommend.

Had me resubmit my review. The.item sold as new, but wasn't. The battery was scotch taped to the box.
