In that price range the tectectec did everything I wanted.

I've since upgraded to the Garmin Z82 which is almost like cheating at times. Not quite in the price range but if you golf frequently enough, well worth the money.

I’ve been looking for a new laser finder. I check out the Garmin online, how the hell can it detect wind? Does it really work as advertised?

You can spend a few more dollars and get a Precision Pro and you know you get a good product.

NX7 is $200, but there are promo codes to get it lower than that.

Check Amazon.

I used a Callaway rangefinder for over 10 years and it worked great.

I have heard mixed results with the Blue Tees model.

I just had a Bushnell go to shite on me after 3 years, I'm pretty pissed.

I changed the battery twice and nothing, it will not turn on.

I just looked this one up and holy hell that looks incredible. Does it really work like advertised? Curious to know like the other poster asked.

I have one of these with the slope function. Only issue is it is a little slower to lock in the distance than the Bushnell I had. Other than that it works well and was considerably cheaper than the big name brands.

Got mine from Amazon for under $50. Same exact reading as the one my buddy has (over $500).

Had one of those expensive Bushnell range finders for like 5 years till it got ruined in a rainstorm. Bought a $149 Precision Pro and have not noticed a single difference. If anything my Precision Pro is better at picking up the pin than the Bushnell.

It doesn’t have the slope reading feature but I don’t really want that, just need something that gives an accurate distance and is easy to use.

I recently bought a Callaway one and it has been great. My old Callaway Nikon lasted for 12 years until I lost it. I was going to spend the money on the Bushnell, but I am glad I didnt. This one has slope too and a magnet.

I should have bought another Callaway.

My old yellow Callaway Nikon was brighter and locked on the pin just as good this new Bushnell.

Best thing about my Bushnell is the really strong magnet.

Put it in the windshield and cart top frame and it's not moving.

I had an OG bushnell since it came out get stolen/left at a course last year.

The new one I have doesn’t seem as good.
