Nikon introduces the COOLSHOT 20i GIII Laser Rangefinder

March 27, 2024

TOKYO - Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., (Nikon Vision), a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation (Nikon), is pleased to announce the release of the COOLSHOT 20i GIII Laser Rangefinder for golfers, that is Nikon's small, lightweight model among the COOLSHOT series.
While maintaining the light weight and compact size of the COOLSHOT 20i GII, the new model notifies the user that the distance to the flagstick has been measured, by means of a brief vibration (LOCKED ON QUAKE function).
When measuring overlapping subjects, the distance to the closest subject is displayed with a simultaneous brief vibration. For example, on a golf course, tactile confirmation informs you that the distance to the flagstick has been measured even with trees in the background.

The COOLSHOT 20i GIII employs two measurement display modes: a golf mode (slope-adjusted distance and actual distance) and an actual distance mode. Switching modes is simple, with a single press of a mode button. It is highly convenient that you can use this product for practice with the golf mode and for official golf competitions using actual distance mode.

*Before using a COOLSHOT in an official competition, make sure to check the local rules in advance.

Two colours of body are available depending on the market.
A white model is available in Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, and a grey model is available in North America and Europe.

Key features

LOCKED ON QUAKE Technology*: A brief vibration to inform you that the distance to the flagstick has been measured.
When measuring overlapping subjects, the distance to the closest subject is displayed with a simultaneous brief vibration. For example, on a golf course, tactile confirmation informs you that the distance to the flagstick has been measured even with trees in the background.
- *Single measurement: When measuring overlapping subjects and the distance to the closest subject is displayed, the body vibrates briefly.
  Continuous measurement: When displayed figures shift to a closer subject, the body vibrates briefly.
Compact, lightweight (approx. 130g) body
Measurement range: 5-730m/6-800 yd.
ID (incline/decline) Technology displays a guide distance showing how far you should hit the ball on an uphill/downhill course
First Target Priority algorithm for displaying the distance to the closest subject when measuring overlapping subjects
Single or continuous measurement (up to 8 seconds). If single measurement fails, it automatically extends the measurement until succeeding for up to 4 seconds. Keeping the power button depressed enables continuous measurement for up to approx. 8 seconds.
High-quality 6x monocular with multilayer coating for bright, clear images
Long eye relief design affords eyeglass wearers easy viewing
Rainproof — JIS/IEC protection class 4 (IPX4) equivalent (under Nikon's testing conditions)
Wide temperature tolerance: -10°C to +50°C/14°F to 122°F
