I have had a condor golf rangefinder for years that scans both in and outwards that cost me around $125 at the time when most guys were buying $800 plus hunting rangefinders that did not scan at all, it makes it easy to range a complete paddock before the deer arrive out of the bush to give you an estimate of what distance to zero at I roughly know the size of the paddocks but angles still get me sometimes, this cheap golf rangefinder I've had for so long will range out to over 1000Yds and if I dropped it of a cliff who would care, they can be a useful tool to have
So what sort of time lag is there with this scanning mode...?...or...how fast can you scan...?
Stix there is no lag, it is as you move it the distances change,
the one I have also has pin acquisition function that's supposed to pick up a golf flag at distance
I've shown mine to a few people who had the more expensive hunting range finders that were amazed at what mine could do and there's couldn't
the more expensive ones were made out of better materials and had better glass l should also say
I cant even find the one I bought anymore, I think its not sold anymore
