The Leupold brand has been in existence for decades and with the Leupold GX-1 Digital Golf Rangefinder further reinforces the quality of this brand. This GX-1 model features a few changes and additions to their older GX-I model

This rangefinder is boasts of a lot of interesting features – one of which is the Pinhunter which gives ease in determining the distance to targets like the flagstick. The device automatically filters out readings from larger background objects and zeroes in on the flagstick. This pin locating feature is on all the time unlike other devices that requires switching in between modes.

The Prism Lock feature helps obtain distance readings accurately even if you’re playing on a course that uses reflective prisms on the flags. It might interest you to know that once the rangefinder detects a flag with a prism, as if having a mind of its own, it beeps to signal of the presence of prism and then freezes the display to show you an accurate reading.

The Fog Mode is an improvement from the previous model. This mode gets activated each time there is fog and rain that screens out false readings.

Interestingly enough, this rangefinder from Leupold seems to be the only rangefinder that enables users to select a different targeting crosshair. There is also a panning mode that will allow you to pan across the course for a little over a minute before it actually times out. It boasts of a 6x magnification capability and an eyepiece that can be twisted for easier focusing

Being small and lightweight, carrying it all around is not much of a bother. It weighs just 6.8 ounces and has a dimension of 4 x 2.75 x 1.5 inches. You can place it in a small carrying case that can be clipped to a golf bag or golf cart. An external pouch is provided to hold extra batteries.

Its vertical design gives ease while holding the device, which also includes a no-slip rubber exterior.  It has a 2-button feature which do not complicate it use. It is powered by one CR-2 Lithium battery located at the lower center of the device.

The Leupold GX-1 Digital Golf Rangefinder is a product of one of the most trusted brand in the market today; you’ll never go wrong with it.
