Nikon COOLSHOT 50i Golf Rangefinder | Laser rangefinder with magnet mount, slope, OLED display and 5 Year Warranty | Official Nikon USA Model

I had my mind set on a Bushnell at first but I went to my local PGA Super Store and started playing with several products and models such as Bushnell, Blue Tee’s and of course Nikon. All were really good but the Nikon stood alone with its clarity. On the course, this range finder works extremely well. Picks up the flag quickly and the yardage is pretty much spot on. However, It can get a little shaky if using one hand due to not having a stabilizer but will lock on to the flag with no issues. It must be noted, I’ve had trouble locking onto a flag in heavy fog. Majority of these range finders are about the same with yardages plus or minus a yard. But, It was the clarity of the glass that I was sold on. I would definitely think about purchasing this product again.

I love Nikon products because of their great lenses. This range finder is no different. It quickly zeros in on the target, and provides large, easy-to-read numbers, plus the slope. Many range finders struggle to focus on pins without the little "crystal" device on the top. This one has no problems at all. Out of the three different range finders I've had over the years, this is the best and easiest to use.

This golf range finder is accurate and easy to use. It routinely captures flags beyond 200 yards against a strong competing background, like trees. The display is lighted and easy to read. It has a good diopter adjustment that sharpens any blurring. The magnet, used to secure the rangefinder to a cart pillar, is strong and reliable. This is a good product that performs as it should.

Spot on readings. . Easy to see display

Maybe i'm just unlucky with a dud unit but this RF terribly slow at locking-in a reading and fails to lock 50% of the time on the first try. Last week a tried a freinds' new Callaway 300 pro which is cheaper, has a clearer display, and locks target every time almost instantly. I really confirmed I made a bad choice! Yes i changed the battery and yes the lenses are super clean. I do not recommend it, this product is expensive, bad visibility in Florida bright sun, and is slow against the competition.

Item was exactly what I wanted

There are many things I like about this rangefinder and a few “improvements” in my opinion that might make it even better… then again maybe not. lol This is all purely subjective to me. Pros: Very light weight Excellent optical quality Good carry case construction Easy to grip Straightforward menu system Easy slope on/off The scanning feature is nice for hazards or making sure you don’t hit the 4’some in front of you. Accurate Auto shut off, one click of the read button and you’re back in business. Nice easy to read red display w/ adjustable brightness. Black displays are difficult for me to see in shadows or against trees in the background. No issues here! Can be used for more than golf. I wouldn’t hesitate to take it bowhunting. Cons: It’s very light weight. If you’re a little shaky like me it’ll be somewhat difficult to lock on the flag at greater distance or in high wind. Build quality is somewhat suspect. The plastic doesn’t feel cheap but definitely not confident if it was dropped on a hard surface that it would survive. A lens cloth would have been nice. Flag locking isn’t great. I always “measure twice, cut once” and that seems to work best. I tried other rangefinders at “the store” and it’s about even with all the other brands. It will read distances beyond the flag but it’s pretty obvious when it’s wrong. If you have large hands, trying to hold steady while trying to get distance with both hands will take some getting used to. I wear a L/XL glove (more on the XL side). There’s a couple other small things but I’m sure you get the idea. Overall I’m happy with this rangefinder in this price range. I learned to play golf before rangefinders. You look, judge the distance and club, play on! I bought this one to help better learn about my game and improve which it’s doing well at that!

The yardage is correct every time. However, image stabilization seems poor. But you can still lock the flag with shakeyish hand. Overall is good and easy to read.
