Awesome rangefinder

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023

I shopped around and did plenty of research. This Nikon is great. It works perfectly and is very sturdy. It does not attach to a golf cart (no magnet), but the carrying case is good, which I attach a carabiner and a retractable cord, so I never lose the case/rangefinder.

A very nice unit, but not for me

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020

I purchased the Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized primarily because of the image stabilization function and Nikon's reputation for great optics. The unit worked very well and was easy to use. My only complaints about the unit are that it was very lightweight and didn't feel rugged. Hence I was worried about the durability of the unit. The unit's glossy white plastic cover appears like it will be prone to discoloration and scratches. I returned the Nikon unit and purchased a Bushnell Tour V5. I prefer the Bushnell because it is a bit heavier, has a rubberized and dark matte finish and fits well in my hand. Optics on the Bushnell are comparable to the Nikon, though without image stabilization. I have not had any issues with shaky hands and being able to acquire a target with my Bushnell. I suggest if you're in the market for one of these two rangefinders, to go to a local retailer to look and feel each in your hands.

Stop waiting

I've waited for years to buy a rangefinder with image stabilization and I wish I hadn't wasted all that time. Played with it on the bag this week and couldn't believe how fast it picks up the area, snaps into stabilized mode and nails yardage. It's so fast and easy it had me thinking I must have messed up. This is so cool it's surreal. I happened to catch it on sale for just over 300.00. My spouse was planning on getting it for me for Xmas but when I saw the discounted price, it was a done deal. This is game changing fast and easy. Just play around with it and you'll figure it out pretty quick if you've ever owned a rangefinder before. Stunning how much it stops my shaking and let's me zero in on the pin. My old finder was only as good as my tremor, which can be annoying. This Nikon doesn't care, it just locks and stops, unbelievably fast. STOP WAITING!! Thank me later.

Great rangefinder with one minor flaw

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2018

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

This range finder is great. Its compact, the stability feature makes it easy to use with one hand, and it picks up yardage very fast. I would give it 5 stars if it wasnt for one thing. The mode button doesnt really have any tactile feel to it. You dont really know you are pressing it unless you look in the viewfinder and see if something has changed. Its weird because when you press the pwr/measure button, you can definitely tell that you pressed it but you cant tell with the mode button. I dont know if this is a defect with my unit or if they are all like this. If it is just my unit then I wonder if Nikon would allow me to trade it in for a new one.

Wish I had purchased earlier.

I've always used a GPS rangefinder but decided after several years of looking to go this route. I researched and listened and finally decided to spend more than I really should a purchase the Coolshot Pro. I wish I had purchased it much earlier. It is easy to use and works just as detailed. I was worried about my hands shaking a little trying to hit the flag but NO problems at all. The only mistake I made first round and it was all my fault, I was reading the slope distance as actual distance because it was much larger in the screen. I haven't used the "scan" feature as much as I thought I would except when playing around with it. I just haven't really had a reason to. I think this is a great device and would purchase again, only sooner.

Image stabilization works as advertised.

I'm really enjoying using this unit. Works well and fairly quickly. Takes a little getting used to, but worth the effort. Much better than non-stabilized range finders from competitors. For me, given that the Coolshot Pro has all the important features of other units, AND most importantly is motion stabilized using Nikon's vast experience in this jitter removal technology, this is a superior choice for range finding. I recommend it.

Okay here is 2 true statements out of 3 about this "Coolshot Pro".

The image stabilization is awesome and it reads the correct distance.

I have no issues, no matter how many beers I've had, picking up the target to gauge distance.

I've been on 3 dates a week since I bought it. All of my dates say it's this range finder that does it for them.

The Best...

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2018

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I've had 5 different rangefinders for golf. The Nikon Coolshot Pro is, by far, the best. However, I will say that my Callaway rangefinder (also made by Nikon) from about 5 years ago is also excellent and it was around 1/2 the price. The only reason for taking off a star here is that I'm not sure that the excellent performance of this rangefinder is quite worth the premium price. But I will never feel that I'm being shortchanged on determining distance when I'm out playing golf. And it's good to have a full waterproof unit, which this is. The other nice feature that not all rangefinders have is the allowance for eye relief. So if you wear glasses, there is no problem adjusting the eyepiece to have a full viewfinder even when wearing glasses that keep your eye slightly further away. You will never go wrong with this rangefinder as the stabilization function also works wonders, especially if you're holding it by one hand, but also if you find that you're a little shaky (I'm seeing that a bit more since passing age 60). Enjoy it.

Best rangefinder I've used

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2018

Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I was on the fence as to whether it was time to update my bag with a new range finder. I spent the summer paying attention to what my golfing buddies use and even tried out a few products at the pro shops. I had concluded that paying extra for slope adjustment and stability control was unnecessary, at best, for a weekend warrior such as myself. Boy was I wrong. At the recommendation of a friend, I took the plunge and purchased the Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized rangefinder. While I'm an average golfer, the stability control and slope adjustment have made a big difference in my confidence and course management. I've taken approach shots that shoot 150 with a regular rangefinder, only to find the true distance is 165 with slope factored in. For me that's the difference between a birdie attempt and trying to get up n' down to save par. These opportunities add up over the course of around. What before seemed like an unnecessary expense is now a luxury I can't live without. I would recommend this product to any golfer interested in improving their game and course management.
