Nikon Introduces COOLSHOT 40i/COOLSHOT 40 Laser Rangefinders

January 14, 2015

Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, is pleased to announce the release of COOLSHOT 40i and COOLSHOT 40 Laser Rangefinders — ideal companions for golfers who are eager to improve their skills.

The COOLSHOT 40 is designed exclusively for measuring actual distance, while the COOLSHOT 40i incorporates ID Technology which displays the slope adjusted distance (Horizontal distance ± height) — ideal for use on golf courses with uphill and downhill slopes.

Both the COOLSHOT 40i and 40 offer a multilayer-coated 6x high-quality finder for bright, clear images. Thanks to Nikon's original data-processing algorithm HYPER READ, the measured distance is displayed with a fast, stable response regardless of how far you are from the target. The measurement result is shown in approx. 0.5 second, enabling you to focus on your game with stress-free measurement. Both models employ the First Target priority mode, which is useful to measure the distance to a flagstick on a green with woods in the background, during approach shots.

For all these features, the Nikon COOLSHOT 40i and 40 are easy to operate, compactly designed to ensure a comfortable grip and portability. Rainproofing is applied to handle sudden showers.

COOLSHOT 40i Key Features

Measurement range: 7.5-590m/8-650 yd.
Easy operation enables measurement of actual distance, horizontal distances, height and slope adjusted distance (Horizontal distance ± Height)
Golf mode displays the slope adjusted distance (Horizontal distance ± Height) which is a guide for how far you should hit the ball and useful when golfing on an uphill/downhill course — ID (incline/decline) Technology
Target Priority Switch System for measuring overlapping subjects:
First Target Priority mode displays the distance of the closest subject — useful when golfing for measuring the distance to a flagstick on a green with woods in the background.
Distant Target Priority mode displays that of the farthest subject — useful in wooded areas.
Single or continuous measurement (up to 8 seconds)
Quick and stable measurement response regardless of distance — HYPER READ
Displays the measurement result in approx. 0.5 second
Distance measurement display step is 0.5m/yd.
Compact, lightweight and ergonomic design
High-quality 6x monocular with multilayer coating for bright, clear images
Large ocular for easy viewing (18mm)
Wide field of view (7.5 degrees)
Long eye relief design affords eyeglass wearers easy viewing
Dioptre adjustment function
Rainproof — JIS/IEC protection class 4 (IPX4) equivalent (under our testing conditions)
Wide temperature tolerance: -10°C to +50°C
