Upgraded Slope - TecTecTec VPRO500 Golf Rangefinder with Slope - Laser Range Finder with Flagseeker VPRO500® - Laser Binoculars - with Battery

TecTecTec Vpro500 golf rangefinder. The customer service is excellent. I've been contacted by them, not because I needed service, but because they wanted to make sure I was 100% satisfied with the product, and that they are there if I have any issues. This alone made me feel like an appreciated customer. As for the product itself:Pros:Very lightweight. Easy to use with one hand and if scanning for a while, lightweight is a good thingGreat optics. Looking through the the rangefinder, everything was clear. (If it's not focused, make sure you adjust the focus by turning the )Easy to use. Just point and click. the yardage readout comes back quickly.Cons:Single target rangefinding can get some getting used to. I've found that it's easier to rangefind people, carts, bags than pins. Most of the difficulty I had might be more user error though (see below).Color of black only. As pointed out in some other reviews, black matches with a cart interior/cupholder. So adding multicolor would make it stand out more.There is no stability control. So if you have shaky hands, single target rangefinding may be more difficult. Scanning and Pinseeking modes though may not be.Other Thoughts:One issue I did have in the beginning, was putting the battery in. The instructions say to rotate the battery cover counter clockwise. In reality, the battery cover is located below the eyepiece where you look through the rangefinder. You just slightly push down on that grated piece, and the battery cover should just slide out like most electronics.Scan mode and using pinseeker mode properly. This is something that I didn't use in my round of golf. What I did was I thought I was in pinseeker, and it would not get accurate measurements. So I used normal mode, and got my targets one by one. Using this method, I found larger targets (people, carts, bags) were easier to get accurate readings on. Smaller objects like pins (without a reflector on them) was more difficult. What I did wrong was a user error situation (and which I did not use in my only round using this item). First scan mode. To get continuous readings of targets, you have to keep the power button held down and scan your targets. Instructions say to press the power button, but does not mention to keep holding it down. This is by far easier than normal mode. Pinseeker mode. After hitting the power button. You have to change the mode to pinseeker (second button press once and the flag should appear on the bottom left of the viewfinder). Now, if you hold the power button down, you can scan to the left and right of the pin and it should give you the distance to the closest object. Again, this was another user error situation, and I was just pointing it at the pin which is incorrect.Overall, this is a great rangefinder for the price. I was using this all over the place, from the teebox to see when the golfers in front of me were out of range, to the fairways. I also used the optics to birdwatch while waiting to hit. The one thing I wish it would do, and I don't think any other rangefinders do, so it may not be possible. But I wish it also had an ability to zoom in further.But if you are in the market for a Rangefinder, this one is more than worth it.Edit: 12/12/16 Been using this for a few months now. Can say that it is definitely worth the price. Still going on my first battery. And now that I'm used to how the rangefinder works, I easily find the distance for everyone in the group.

I already have a Bushnell v3 Laser Range Finder, but I needed one for my daughter. Although I like the Bushnell, I wanted to see if there was a range finder that didn't have a high price tag because they have to pay for their advertising. I saw that the TecTecTec was the best selling range finder here in Amazon, so I decided to try it.Immediately after ordering it, I got an email from Sara telling me that if there is anything at all they can do, please contact her. I like that, and I think other people do to.I literally got it the next day. I ordered it in the evening and got it in the morning! All in my pajamas.We tried it on the course today and this what I think:PROS:1. Returns the yardage almost instantaneously. I just point and there is the yardage instantly. I compared it with the Bushnell and they are the same.2. The Pin yardage is like that of my Bushnell, It locks on and as long as there is nothing between the range finder and the pin, it will return the correct yardage.3. Very simple operation. Point it and press the power button and you get the yardage. If you want the Pin press the Mode button and it will show a flag.4. Excellent clarity. It is very, very clear and the 6x magnification is what makes this one better than my Bushnell. You can also focus by turning the eye piece to get a very sharp image. I can definitely see the green from 150 yards so it helped me know which side of the green to shoot for.5. Fantastic case. It is like a small camera case and there is a belt loop and also a little nub that goes into something like a holster.6. It is very small and light. I just put it in my pocket.CONS:1. It is black. I changed the strap out with an electric blue strap so that it is more visible. I will definitely lose this in the Cart because the golf cart interior is black.SUMMARY:I like this so much I gave my Bushnell to my daughter so I have the newer Ranger finder. She plays better than I do so I need it more than she does. I highly recommend this product and their customer service.
