Shot Scope PRO L1 Laser Rangefinder - Red and Black Optics - Adaptive Slope Technology - Target-Lock Vibration - Accurate to 0.1 Yard

Product Information

Similar to the other models on our list, the Shot Scope Pro L1 is rather compact in size and allows you to operate with just one hand. If you turn Slope off, the only readout you’ll see is the horizontal distance. To make the unit tournament legal, a red LED below the switch illuminates when Slope is turned off. This is a small consideration but something that certain golfers will want to ensure they have thought of prior to purchasing. Usability

The total range for the TecTecTec VPro500 is 540 yards. This is plenty long enough for the average golfer, and it claims to have one yard of accuracy. We found that from 200 yards and in the continuous scan mode did an excellent. The TecTecTec VPro500 is exactly what you may expect from a no-frills, budget-friendly golf rangefinder. However, when you look at the important things, like accuracy, usability, durability, and overall value, TecTecTec Vpro500 earns a spot on this list. Accuracy There are two main modes available, as well as a third that doesn't really seem to have much purpose but can nevertheless be quite fun. The first (M1) is a scanning mode that displays distances almost instantly and will change as you scan the fairway, green, hazards etc. This is useful for when you need to know how far you need to carry the ball over a lake, or to lay up short of a bunker etc. Finally, it’s worth noting that the PRO L1 is about 20% lighter than other rangefinders, but is comparable in size. In my hand, it actually feels a little larger, though it has the same silhouette as my previous rangefinder. I prefer this profile to the super compact lasers because my fingers aren’t cramped trying to access the buttons.The TecTecTec VPro500 is also considered an eye-safe laser rangefinder that will not strain your vision from continuous use.Good news if you are really golf obsessed! M3 is Speed Mode and basically turns your PRO L1 into a speed gun. You hold the button down and target a moving object to tell how fast it’s going. Useful for golf? Not really, but you can have some fun with it. Maybe the best way to look at the Shot Scope PRO L1 rangefinder is that it’s an example of a known company launching a product while the others are examples of products launching a company.

Slope functionality can be turned on and off, making the GolfBuddy Laser Lite acceptable for tournament play.

One of the cheapest rangefinders that will also work well is the TecTecTec Vpro500. This won’t be the fanciest looking model with the most bells and whistles; however, when you look at overall functionality, the rangefinder has everything you need for a fair price. What am I losing out on when buying a cheaper rangefinder? Outside this range, human testing makes valid data a little more challenging to come by. However, the figures above should give you no doubt about the L10V’s accuracy and will be more than enough for most golfers. Features The magnetic case is a nice feature. Many premium rangefinders have a magnetic body; this Laser Lite model has a magnetic case.
