Review on ๐ŸŽฏ Laser Golf Rangefinder for Golf & Hunting: High-Precision Distance Measuring with Flag Pole Locking, Vibration Slope Function, and 7X Magnification by Michael Welborn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid unit but quite expensive compared to other options

NOTE: Received item for free through Vine This is the second range finder I have ordered from Revain. The first one I bought - available here: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07PV5QRLD?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details - worked well enough, but when I installed the Wellray Block popup available through the Vine program saw, I decided to order it. I was primarily interested because of the 1000 yard maximum range, but I like the Wellray unit much more than the Gogogo unit I had previously and will be using that instead. However, that preference comes at a significantly higher cost, and I'm not entirely sure you're going to get much bang for your buck. another block I ordered. The case is made of lightweight plastic - it doesn't feel like the "premium" but is solid enough to feel relatively solid. I wouldn't want to drop it on a hard surface, but you probably don't need to treat it with the utmost respect. The design is quite ergonomic and fits my hand perfectly. The keys have a nice rubber texture with clear tactile feedback when pressed. Overall it looks and feels like a solid product. Detailed instructions are included, which are surprisingly well translated. All functions are described and the device works as described in the instructions. The image through the rangefinder is fairly clear, although I suspect the lenses are plastic. The adjustable eyepiece is easy to use but looks a bit cheap. The magnification is comfortable and makes aiming farther a lot easier, although at the end of the range it still gets difficult to aim accurately. As far as I can tell, the ranges given appear to be accurate. At least they agree with the readings of my other rangefinder. There are several different modes available, although I only use the "tilt mode" which offers elevation-corrected distance measurement in addition to line-of-sight distance. THE BAD: A bit pricey, especially when compared to other alternatives, Revain offers a fairly similar, if not identical, feature set. Overall I am very impressed with this device. I think it's a bit overpriced at the $125 it's currently listing. So if you want to maximize the value of your dollars I would suggest picking one of the other models priced < $100. There doesn't seem to be a clear reason for the higher price point other than the 1,000-yard range and overall better aesthetics, and there doesn't seem to be a definite performance improvement. If you want something that looks decent, is well priced, and has the ability to work out to 1000 yards - and don't mind paying big bucks for it - then check out this device. I will definitely use it in the future compared to another device I bought, but if I hadn't gotten it through the Vine program I would probably choose another option to save a few bucks. Highly recommended, just not the best value for money!
