The Nikon LaserCaddy golf rangefinder is the ultimate tool that should be found in every golfer s bag or shirtpocket. The LaserCaddy delivers high resolution images and incredibly fast, highly precise and consistent distance measurements to the hard-to-range pin. A must-have for second club selection, the LaserCaddy s unequaled level of precision is made possible by Nikon s advanced digital processor and high grade optics. The LaserCaddy is water resistant so that weather is never an excuse. Ease of operation makes this the best choice for any golfer who is serious about their game. You ve worked hard on your game.

The water-resistant Nikon LaserCaddy 500G Laser Rangefinder is ultra-compact and convenient to carry, measuring only 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches and weighing 7.0 ounces without its battery.

The Nikon LaserCaddy is a highly compact laser rangefinder that will accurately measure distance from 11 yards to over 500 yards with unparalleled precision. It provides 160 yard ranging ability to the pin which is a golf constant, compared to competitive products which measure distance only to the highly variable and atmospherically dependent flag.

This previously unachievable level of precision is made possible by Nikon’s advanced digital processor and high grade optics. These features allow all golfers to gauge distance more precisely for accurate second shot club selection under informal conditions or during practice.

The Nikon LaserCaddy features precisely ground and polished lens glass that is multicoated with anti-reflective compounds to improve light transmission, clarity, and color rendition. The unit utilizes a high contrast LCD display to provide fast, accurate targeting against any background or in any lighting conditions. It utilizes a six power monocular with a 20-millimeter objective lens to provide an exit pupil of 3.3 millimeters. The eyepiece is adjustable, with a range of +/- 2 diopters, and the unit has 10 millimeters of eye relief. In addition, the Nikon LaserCaddy has a real angle of view of 6.3 degrees, translating to a wide, 50 degree apparent angle of view and a field of view of 33 feet at 100 yards.

The Nikon LaserCaddy measures ranges in yards or meters, and features an automatic power shutoff after the reading has been displayed for eight seconds. It measures 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches and weighs 7.0 ounces without battery. It is powered by one CR-2 camera battery that is included with the rangefinder and an internal display shows the user how much battery power is remaining.

The Nikon LaserCaddy features an attractive silver external finish and is protected by Nikon’s exclusive one-year warranty.
Customer Review: Very Good for Golf
I’ve had this rangefinder for almost a year now and have been very happy with it. It does a much better job of picking up the pin then my old Nikon 400 that was designed for hunting. It is very compact and, so far, seems to be very durable. I looked at a lot of rangefinders for golf and in my opinion this one had the best combination of optics, size, design and durability. I’m really happy now that I can use it legally on the course.

Although I gave it five stars, it is not perfect. You must have a steady hand and, if the wind is not blowing the flag, it may take more than a few tries to get a reading to the pin and not the background. Still the best all-around though.
Customer Review: Great product. Manufacturer underestimates it’s ability.
After I bought this product, I was considering returning it because it was only capable of shooting pins from 160 yards. After trying it, I have found that it can hit the pins from 220 yards. If there is enough wind to move the flag a little, you can shoot the flag from 300+ yards. It is also impressive how it can pick out the pin when there are trees in the backround. This product exceeded my expectations. Better than any GPS that only gives yardages to fixed targets. My only complaint would be that it requires a lithium battery which I am sure it is expensive. Some models use a 9 volt, which is much cheaper.
