Overview
This is the Nikon Forestry Pro II laser rangefinder sold as a five piece bundle: the rangefinder itself, a lens pen, a retractable tether, a soft case, and a three pack of CR2 batteries. It targets hunters, foresters, and tradespeople who need distance, angle, and height readings in one unit.
Nikon built this for forestry and hunting use, and reviewers stretch it into construction and utility work with equal success, one reviewer using it 40 hours a week to measure power line distances. The bundle format matters here since spare CR2 batteries and a tether are genuinely useful add ons rather than filler. Its one hard limit shows up repeatedly in feedback: it cannot read a target closer than 25 feet.
- Measures 25 to 5,250 feet with height and angle data
- 6x monocular with multilayer coating
- Target priority switch for overlapping subjects
- Waterproof to 1m for 10 minutes, fogproof body
Who it's for
Suited to hunters, land surveyors, arborists, and utility workers who need horizontal distance, height, and angle readings, not just a raw number. Less useful for anyone measuring close range targets under 25 feet, since the unit will not register them.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who use it for work call it accurate and reliable, with one crediting it for outperforming pricier military grade rangefinders and another using it 40 hours a week to measure power line distances. The most repeated complaint is the 25 foot minimum measuring distance, and one buyer notes the retractable tether's split ring is too large to fit through the unit's slots.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Reads horizontal distance, height, and angle, not just range
- Bundle includes spare CR2 batteries and a lens pen
- 6x monocular stays clear at full zoom, per reviewers
- Cannot measure targets closer than 25 feet
- Included tether's split ring does not fit the unit's slots
Performance notes
The unit combines a 6x monocular with a target priority switch system that lets it separate overlapping subjects, such as a branch in front of a deer. Beyond straight line distance it also computes horizontal distance, height, angle, and the vertical separation between two points, functions reviewers specifically credit for utility and construction measuring. It is rated waterproof to one meter for ten minutes and the battery chamber is rainproof, though Nikon does not rate it for submersion.
