Product Research
Features
Overview: The Nikon COOLSHOT 20 GIII laser rangefinder helps your golf game by giving you accurate distance measurements up to 800 yards instantly with the press of a button. Nikon's First Target Priority and Locked-on Quake features give you even more accurate readings, so you can play more aggressively. The unit is compact and lightweight, with a durable rainproof finish to give it a non-slip grip. The COOLSHOT 20 GIII is powered by a 3-volt CR2 Lithium battery (included), and comes with a handy storage case that can be worn on the belt or clipped to your bag.
First Target Priority: When measuring overlapping subjects, such as the flagstick with trees in the background, the First Target Priority algorithm displays the distance to the closest subject. The rangefinder gives a gentle vibration, or Locked On Quake, to confirm that you are measuring the desired target (the pin), and not an object in the background.
One Button Operation: The COOLSHOT 20 GIII laser rangefinder gives you fast and simple measurements by pressing the top-mounted power button. The unit emits invisible, eye-safe infrared energy pulses (IEC60825-1 Class 1M Laser) that reflect off of the selected target back to its optical receiver. The distance is instantly calculated and displayed on an internal LED panel for approximately 8 seconds. The unit displays the distance to the nearest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement.
Nikon Optics: The COOLSHOT 20 GIII uses Nikon glass optics and multilayer coating technology to give you clear views with high contrast.
Diopter Ring: The viewfinder has a diopter ring for adjusting the rangefinder to your eyesight. A diopter index indicates "+" and "-" positions, and has an range of ±4 m⁻¹.
Eye Relief: The COOLSHOT 20 GIII's eyepiece provides a long 16.7mm eye relief for easy viewing, even with eyeglasses.
Distance Measurements: Distances from 6 to 800 yards are measured in 1-yard increments. When switched to metric distances, it measures 5 to 730 meters in 1-meter increments. You can switch the units of measurement from yards to meters by pressing the top-mounted Mode button.
Continuous Measurement: You can measure the distance of different targets during the 8 seconds the laser is emitting. The distances of each object are displayed as you aim at them. For example, using continuous measurement, you can measure the distance to a tree in the foreground, and to the flag in the background.
Weatherproof Design: The COOLSHOT 20 GIII has a weatherproof design (IPX4) so you can use it in wet conditions. It can withstand temperatures between 14°F and 122°F, and 80% or less relative humidity.
Power Requirements: The COOLSHOT 20 GIII operates on a single 3-volt CR-2 Lithium battery (included). Battery status is displayed in the viewfinder during normal operations. A new CR-2 battery has enough energy to perform continuous measurements approximately 10,000 times (at approximately 68°F).
