Nikon introduces the Golfer's Laser Rangefinder COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED

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 PROIII STABILIZED Laser Rangefinder for golfers. This most advanced model in the COOLSHOT series is a further evolved successor to the COOLSHOT PROII STABILIZED which was highly acclaimed worldwide.

The COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED is equipped with HYPER READ that displays the measurement results speedily regardless of distance, with a response speed of only 0.1 second compared to the 0.3 second of the previous model (the COOLSHOT PROII STABILIZED). This advance makes it easier than ever to use a Laser Rangefinder in any situation with less stress.

In addition, the optical lens shift STABILIZED function that was used in the previous COOLSHOT PROII STABILIZED model and received high praise, is also utilised for this new model. It also employs Dual LOCKED ON QUAKE Technology which notifies the user with a visual sign and vibration, making it much easier for golfers to understand that the distance to the flagstick has been successfully measured. When measuring overlapping subjects, the distance to the closest subject is displayed with a green 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.

Regarding the measurement display, the COOLSHOT PROIII STABILIZED employs four measurement display modes including an actual distance mode that allows golfers to use this product at official golf competitions. When using the actual distance mode, the Actual Distance Indicator blinks in green, which shows that the Incline/Decline measurement function is not being utilised. It can be easily confirmed by observers, so safely used during competitions.

A golf mode displays a guide distance to how far you should hit the ball. Knowing reliable distance information helps you to select the right club for each shot during practice. These modes can be switched with a single press of the MODE button.

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