The rangefinder by Aurosports is pretty awesome and very
easy to use. This comes with a cloth carrying case with a magnetic closure,
wrist strap, micro USB charging cable and cleaning cloth.
The small size of it makes it very portable and to be able
to fit in and operate via one hand. Most other rangefinders are bigger and a
little hard to use with one hand. This is light weight and real easy to hold in
place without much shake while scanning for a speed or distance.
I was a little confused with the description showing this
can be used for everything and the instructions also show seven modes but only
two have check marks next to them, but at closer inspection, this model only
has two modes (speed and distance) and not the seven it looks like it could
have (by the pictures and instructions). Not that is a bad thing, this will
still do what you need but makes you wonder if the golf mode would be better
that just the distance mode.
With only two buttons to operate this, it can’t get much
simpler to use. One button turns it on/off and activates the scan to take the
measurement and the mode button, switches modes between speed and distance when
short pressed or between yards and meters when long pressed.
You can short press the on/off button to take a reading or
press and hold it to take a continuous scan and reading. The display on this id
big, bright and easy to see and will display a circle when scanning and display
the reading on the bottom right when done. It will also display unit of measure
or the mode in the upper right corner when you are changing it.
I have tested the accuracy of this, one measuring the
distance from the back of my house to the fence in the back yard and this is
pretty darn accurate. I also compared it to my Gamin G3 golf range finder on
the course and again this matches it or is pretty close. The G3 does measure to
the middle of the green and I was measuring to the pin placement with this
rangefinder. Any difference was negligible and wouldn’t really matter for my
golf game. It is close enough for me.
The feel and build of this is a plastic and rubberized and
that makes it easy to hold on to, waterproof and dustproof. Just what I need on
the course. The rechargeable battery is also a big plus. This thing last all
week and a few rounds of golf before needing recharged. Also much nicer to use
my power bank (I bring for my phone anyway) to recharge on the course if needed
than to have to remember to bring and carry extra batteries with me.
I would recommend this for anyone in the market. It is just
as good as some of the higher priced one but a third of the price.
