Leupold's 2 in 1 GX-4 Rangefinder
The Leupold GX-4 is most definitely not like anything else on the market. This rangefinder is truly an amazing device and it presents many innovative features that are simply not available with other models.
Additionally, this rangefinder is perfect for both hobbyist pursuits as well as tournament play. There are interchangeable faceplates this rangefinder comes with which means you can modify this model to fit the venue you intend to play. And if you want durability in a model, this one delivers since it is made of aluminum instead of traditional plastic.
Features
With a size of 4.1 x 2.9 x 1.3 inches, the Leupold GX-4 Rangefinder is not exactly impressive in terms of its size but it does come packed with features that set it apart enormously from the many other rangefinders on the market.
One of the most interesting and helpful components it offers is the ability to recommend the best club for each individual shot! The system also offers a True Golf Range feature that will figure out the exact actual distance of the green right from the bottom of the tee. That is incredibly exact and accurate figures.
The laser that this rangefinder employs is one of the most sophisticated available and can easily separate all objects in the foreground and background from your target. The ability to distinguish the foreground and the background makes accuracy much more precise since you will not be confusing your target with other objects off in the distance.
Scan Mode
You can gain multiple readings just by holding down the power button and panning across a perimeter. This will lead to accurate and updated measurements which can be used to effectively set up your shots. The added benefit of Prism technology further boosts the already high level of accuracy displayed.
Pros and Cons
The Good
- By far, this is among the most sophisticated rangefinders on the market. It is packed with unique features, highly reliable, and built to last.
- This model is known for being scratch resistant. Some might consider scratches minor but they really do detract from the look of the device and, quite honesty, reflect poorly – whether fair or not – on the operator.
- Advanced Prism Lock/PinHunter and Fog Mode are built into the system.
- All it takes to access advanced features such as algorithmic-based software, temperature inputs, and altitude inputs is to switch the faceplate.
The Bad
- Quality comes with a price and the price of the Leupold GX-4 Rangefinder is definitely a costly model. So, if you want to access the great benefits of this rangefinder, you need to reach deep into your pockets to do so.
- Some might find the compact size to be a little too compact.
FAQ’s
1. Is the aluminum casing really built to last or will it dent or degrade?
As long as you take appropriate care of your Leupold GX-4 Rangefinder, you will not see any damage befall it. Aluminum is quite durable but it is not indestructible so you need to do your part in making sure it maintains its proper condition.
2. Why is the display with this model so special?
Mostly all rangefinders are produced with traditional (and excellent) LCD screens. This is fine but this rangefinder comes with an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display which is far clearer and more impressive.
Golfer Reviews
This rangefinder totally exceeded all my expectations. I relied on it to help select –my clubs and it turned out that it was accurate each and every time. I was able to avoid a host of errors using this rangefinder and that certainly was a huge help on my recent trip to the greens in Florida. Most impressive, the construction of this range-finder is amazing and it greatly exceeds what I have seen from other models on the market.” – Michael, Amazon.com
I found this device made it very easy to see yardages although it can be a little confusing to determine if the top or the bottom is the slope or the legitimate distance. I am sure though that this problem will cease to be a problem over time as I gain more experience.” – Patrick, Amazon.com
