Nikon designed the 6x22 CoolShot 50i Laser Rangefinder to be an invaluable tool to get you closer to the pin in fewer strokes. Because distance doesn't tell the whole story, the CoolShot takes the angle of elevation into account and provides an accurate range for uphill and downhill shots—and it can be turned off for competition rounds to keep the playing field even. To make sure you're ranging to the pin, and not the tree behind it, Nikon uses their Dual Locked-On Quake system that provides tactile and visual confirmation that you're on target. To make it even easier for you, there is a mounting magnet that allows you to stick it to the side of your cart and has a weight of just over 6 ounces and a length under 4 inches. If the weather takes a turn, you can keep playing, because the CoolShot is IPX4-rated to be water resistant.
