Very outstanding product. Nine volt battery gives long service and is easy to change.

Pricey unit, but works very well when held steady. The slope works nicely, but is really not needed that often. The high power optics make this unit very hard to steady on small targets, especially the golf pin. If you manage to hold on a pin, it'll give you the accurate distance every time. Larger objects are found quickly and easily, with high accuracy. Any of the units with the circle in the cross hairs seemed to function just as accurately as this one. Lower optic power was also easier to use. But if you need distance, when this is braced against something, this'll reach out really accurately.

Great product. Can use straight out of the box. Easy to use. I have a problem with distance, this has taken away any doughts I have when standing over the ball. Making my shot making more consistent. Also great service from Optic Planet. Range finder came next day.

This rangefinder is fantastic! I have used some before, but they were not even close to as accurate. Plus the slope guage is genius! I've saved so many strokes with this product, I can't even count! My wife is tired of hearing about how great it is!

The Pinseeker 1500 is much easier to lock on the flag than other range finders I have used. It is dead on accurate. The slope function usually only changes range by less than 10 yards, so it is nice but not necessary. The 9 volt battery lasts about 50-18 hole rounds before requiring changing. This range finder is especially useful when playing a new course where you are unfamiliar with distances. Once you use it, you'll never play without it again. Quality product, highly recommended. Optics Planet was superb. They provided comparison information on their web site, ordering was easy and their price (including free shipping) was the lowest I found on the Web. They processed my order expeditiously, kept me up-to-date on tracking and the range finder arrived when scheduled. Totally satisfying experience.
