1. Colbalt Q 4 Slope Rangefinder - for golfers of all levels
$245

https://cobalt-golf.com/collections/rangefinders/products/q-4-slope-rangefinder

Designed for casual golfers and weekend warriors who are looking to up their skill level with a versatile, compact, and intuitive rangefinder, the Q-4 Slope 6x22 1300 yd Golf Rangefinder fits the bill.

Built around IPX7 waterproof construction, crystal clear optics, red and black display options, and a fully adjustable diopter, the Q-4 Slope is our latest rangefinder for those looking for a powerful ranging tool to serve any budget.

The Q-4 Slope features our unique Adaptive Contrast Display which allows users to choose between either an auto red/black or black-only display. Best used in low light conditions, the Adaptive Contrast Display allows for comfortable ranging without losing the reticle in the shadows. Conversely, for bright, sunny conditions, the black-only display easily cuts through high contrast targets allowing you to discern your readings in crisp detail.

A simple to use menu navigation removes any complications when you need to make quick changes on the course. A dedicated slope button conveniently allows you to switch on Slope Mode for precise slope-compensation during normal play as well as the ability to easily disengage Slope Mode to conform to USGA tournament regulations.
