Nikon Announces New LASER 50 and LASER 30 Multi-Purpose Laser Rangefinders
The new Nikon LASER 50 and LASER 30 high-performance laser rangefinders offer truly multi-purpose precision! In the field, on the job, or in the backcountry, these two new versatile rangefinders equip the user with extended measurement distances and four selectable measurement display modes for nearly any task: Horizontal distance and angle mode, Actual distance and angle mode, Horizontal distance and height mode as well as Actual distance and height mode.
Well suited to any endeavor where accuracy is essential, this pair of fully-featured laser rangefinders is ideal for surveying, forestry, outdoor recreation, and more. Both models feature a highly visible red OLED internal display with an auto-adjustment function for optimal brightness. Thanks to HYPER READ, the measurement response is stable and speedy regardless of the distance to the target, and measurement results are quickly displayed in approx. 0.3 second.
