Customer Reviews
compact, easy to use, & accurate
My title says it all.
I like the compact size ... pinseeker is too large for me to carry around.
I like its x6 magnification ... tour v2 is compact too but only has x5 mag (you will want x6 than x5 mag when you aim at a pin over 300 yards). Also v2's yardage display is not as clear, big font size, as LR800. I tried my LR800 on a 537 yard hole (almost facing sun), and LR800 picked up the distance to the pin immediately. With a distance like this, x5 can be a little weak, even though v2 has pin seek and claims to go up to 1000 yards. With x6, I just see the green better.
There is no non-sense feature on LR800, such as switching modes (why do I need other modes if I only use this for golfing). I just aim at my target such as pin, bunker, water, etc and the yardage shows up in a second when I press the button. It turns off by itself so that I don't have to worry about anything.
If you are considering Nikon Monarch 800 or Nikon 800s (almost the same as LR800), the nice thing about these 2 is that you can switch between first target priority mode and distance target priority mode with these two models - good feature if you would use this for hunting. LR800 does not let you switch, but I only use this for golfing and do not want to bother switching, it is prefect for me.
I also like the carrying case of LR800. It is really designed for golfing - you clip it onto your bag, open the lens cover, and you are ready to go. Nikon's own 2 models come in a pouch, so you will need to take the rangefinder out and put it back ... it would make me feel like taking a picture on a golf course, rather playing a round of golf.
LR1200 is good too, but the size is slightly longer than LR800.
five star product
Compact, acurate and simple to use. What more can you ask for. I purchased the LR800 on the course and its acuracy was dead on.
