March 13, 2019

TOKYO - Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., (Nikon Vision), a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation (Nikon), is pleased to announce the release of a new portable Laser Rangefinder, the PROSTAFF 1000.
The PROSTAFF 1000 Laser Rangefinder features a compact and lightweight body delivering 910-metre/1000-yard maximum measurement ranging performance. The long eye relief and adjustable dioptre optimize comfort and clarity, providing a more enjoyable ranging experience to the user.

The PROSTAFF 1000 Laser Rangefinder gives users the ability to select either First Target or Distant Target Priority when ranging an object or target in front of or behind another object. Measurement results are displayed clearly and accurately in 1-metre/yard increments on the uncluttered display almost instantaneously with a single button press. 8-second continuous measurement readings are also displayed while depressing and holding the power button down.

Key Features
