Review on LANCAT GL800 Rangefinder Finder Magnification by Pius Aponte

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Toy size but works - in the end

Well you get what you pay for - in this case you don't pay much. To be honest, at this price I didn't even think it would work, but it does. I used to have a Leupold that was $550 with a tilt, even with barometric pressure to help with removal. And after the diodes blew and I was told it couldn't be fixed, I said I would never spend much on any of them again. As long as you know roughly what your distance should be (use distance markers, etc.) this will eventually find you. It is very bad to read what is behind the flag and give you too long a reading. but compared to my dear friends, it was only a meter away every time. You have to adjust it for your eye and then it's not bad. It's so small and made of plastic that it looks like a toy. It disappears completely in your hand when you turn the back of your hand towards you. And since he's so small, it's very hard to stop him from shaking hands. but with the help of two hands calmed him down. I bought this as a backup for an expensive Garmin watch I currently use - I always keep it in my pocket, it will be there if I forget my watch or forget to charge it. so for me it can do what i need. This is for you if you are starting out and are on a budget. But if you're a serious golfer, you wouldn't buy it as your primary rangefinder.
