misplaced my more expensive rangefinder and needed to find a replacement that wouldn't break the bank for an upcoming distance trip. It's a lot smaller and lighter than I expected, but once in use it worked great. It's pretty accurate. There is a slight deviation in measured distance, but if you have steady hands it won't be much. Being smaller and lighter was actually a plus as I can easily put it in my jacket or back pocket. I had it with me all day and it was barely noticeable. Since this is a golf range finder, it has many functions. I only needed it to aim at targets in a straight line, so it only had one simple job. Works great and was super easy to use. You can also hold down the area button to scan and search different areas. This comes in handy when searching for a specific area from a distance. Instead of finding a point and aiming at it, you can hold down the button and scan until you find the distance you want. Ideal for setting up targets or finding reference lines. Another great feature is that it vibrates when it returns a measured distance. It's not necessary, but it was really nice to have. It's a great range finder for the price. If you're on a budget or not looking for something super fancy and just want a simple tool, then this is for you.
