Nikon Forestry Pro II 6X Laser Rangefinder, 1,750 yds

My entire department of field engineers has these as part of our standard tool kit. Need to know how tall something is? Just point at the base *click*, point at the top *click* and get the measured reading from the display. Couldn't be easier and seems to be accurate where I've been able to double check from other sources. Yeah, it's a bit spendy. But if you regularly need to know how tall stuff is with reasonable certainty, this is the tool you need. To me the only downside is the CR2 battery which is somewhat uncommon. I'd rather have a CR123 or a pair of LR3s or something I can find easily when needed.

This device combines an inclinometer and a laser range finder that supports simple range measurements, true horizontal distance measurements and (typically tree) height measurements. The device is simple to use, and provides a logging function as well that records measurements for later transcription. I've used it to anticipate the reach of felled trees, record tree heights for a forest stewardship plan, and measure distances between layout stakes and even distance to rocks from a racing sailboat. It's waterproof to some degree, so it's fine to use it in the rain, spray, etc. It does exactly what it promises, accuracy over shorter distances is as specified (I have no benchmarks for more than 100'), and the user interface is easily mastered. The only difficulty I've had with the unit is holding it steady enough to get readings on smaller objects (t-stakes, a narrow very tall tree); a longer device or a mount might makes this easier. Repeated attempts are usually successful, and missed measurements don't disturb a sequence for measuring tree height.

Uno de los mejores equipos para medición forestal, reduce tiempo de trabajo

Accurate with heights, lengths and easy to use for beginners, he needs to learn more about it. I can update more later…

Excelente producto para la medición de individuos arbóreos.

It's really very impressive how this device picks up returns from almost any object - right out to its maximum range. Distance and height calculations seem to be well within specification. It works well for trees, cliffs, hills structures, and even golf yardages.

Easy to use, functions are simple to find and arrived on time. Great purchasing experience!

I did not know that I have a shaking hand before using the Nikon Foresty Pro 2, there are no steady shot options which is a big miss from Nikon I will have to use a tripod on tiny objects with a distance greater distance than 100 feet, beside of this big flaw from Nikon the instrument is easy to use and accurate if you somehow can hold it still, I will recommend buying rangefinders with steady shot / anti shake features.

Like the new smaller size. Fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. It is lightweight as well adding to the ease of handling. And the measurements are accurate

This is a very useful gadget if you need to measure tree heights or similar. It is very easy to use, and has several modes. Each measurement is remembered in a numbered list, I am not sure how many it records, but it is quite a few. It doesn't have a visible laser dot, but seems to be able to discriminate quite well the object in the viewfinder cross hairs from any visually adjacent vegetation further or nearer the target. It is difficult to know the accuracy, but it seems consistent to better then 0.5 m. It is expensive, of course, as specialist equipment, yet affordable if you need it professionally. It is very robust, lightweight, waterproof, very practical.

The product appears to be accurate and the unit is extremely easy to use. Thanks.

Va très bien

This product is the simplest to use , very accurate and easy to carry
