Nikon introduces the Golfer's Laser Rangefinder COOLSHOT 50i GII

January 22, 2025

TOKYO - Nikon Vision Co., Ltd., (Nikon Vision), a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation (Nikon), is pleased to announce the release of the COOLSHOT 50i GII Laser Rangefinder for golfers. This new model is positioned as a medium-class Laser Rangefinder with attractive multi-functions.

The COOLSHOT 50i GII has been completely redesigned from the previous COOLSHOT 50i model, to create a smart and advanced exterior design by evolving the sporty design of COOLSHOT series Laser Rangefinders. Also, by enhancing the comfort of holding, it enables more stable measurement.
While inheriting versatile functions useful for golfers that were incorporated in the previous COOLSHOT 50i model, this new COOLSHOT 50i GII model's usability has become much easier.
A strong magnet is built into the body, enabling attachment to a golf cart or golf club. The magnetic force has been strengthened, and is more powerful than that of the previous COOLSHOT 50i model, thereby improving the sense of security when attaching.

Also, this new model continues to incorporate Dual LOCKED ON QUAKE, which is a highly convenient function that informs that the distance to the flagstick has been measured with visual and tactile confirmation. When measuring overlapping subjects, the distance to the closest subject is displayed with a red LOCKED ON sign in the viewfinder and a simultaneous brief vibration. For example, on a golf course, this gives clear confirmation that the distance to the flagstick has been measured even with trees in the background. In addition, a red internal OLED display is also employed for easier viewing in any situation.

As for the measurement display, the COOLSHOT 50i GII continues to employ 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 button. When using actual distance mode, the LED of the Actual Distance Indicator blinks in green to inform observers of non-use of the Incline/Decline measurement function. 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.
