A rangefinder is a device that measures distance from the observer to a target, rangefinders are ideal for multiple applications such as golf, surveying, determining focus in photography, or accurately aiming a weapon. Range finders are often used by military or law enforcement snipers as a means of calculating the distance to the target to set up a perfect shot. Range finder measures the distance between to points for surveying, determining the focus for a camera, aiming a weapon or determining the correct club in a golf shot. A laser rangefinder is a device which uses a laser beam in order to determine with incredible accuracy the distance to an opaque object. A laser range finder works by sending very short pulses of infrared light towards the object and then measuring how long it takes for the pulse to bounce off the target and return to the sender. Take your best shot with confidence when you use a digital range finder. These laser range finders measure line of sight distances using eye safe laser combined with precision electronics. Another type of range finder is a ranging rangefinder which uses a system of mirrors and beam splitters to produce separate images of an object.
