I am 90% happy with it. I wish it has magnet built in like its cheaper 50i. I wish they have provide better quality case. Its cheap nylon case. Suppose to be best Nikon has but case looks and feel like they forgot to mention the outsource factory that this is our flagship rangefinder. Eye piece is bright and big. Its quick and accurate. Mode button is too easy to push, it often change the settings during round. Bought a silicon case and its much better now.","date":"2023-01","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_011","source":"best_buy","sourceUrl":"","author":"Anonymous","rating":5,"text":"Have used this now for 2 years.

Ive been playing golf for 15 yrs and exact distances is very important especially slope variations. Ive used the Nikon Coolshot Pro II for several rounds and it has improved my distance control shots tremendously. It measures distances to bunkers, front of greens.
