Main Functional Factors Affecting the Price of Telescope Laser Rangefinders
1. Measuring distance:
This is the main indicator of a laser rangefinder telescope. It is expected that the telescope can measure at a distance of 400-2000 meters, which refers to the straight-line distance from the measurement position to the measurement target. There is another important indicator behind it, which is horizontal distance (these two concepts must not be confused). The measurement distance of a laser rangefinder telescope is generally the theoretical measurement distance and may be affected by weather conditions. So when choosing a rangefinder, you should generally choose a laser rangefinder telescope that is about 20% farther than the actual measurement distance you require. The measurement distance is the main factor affecting the price of telescopic laser rangefinders.
2. Can height be measured:
Can horizontal height be measured? Many rangefinders have this function, so this type of rangefinder can also be called an altimeter. Another concept of height measurement is to measure the height of the target (height difference), and these two concepts must not be confused. At present, the main brands that can measure height on the market are Tuyade and Orfa. The Nikon 1000AS can also measure height, but cannot measure angles. All models that the doctor is capable of cannot measure height. Models that can measure height will be relatively more expensive than those without this feature.
3. Can angle be measured
Can angle be measured? Many rangefinders also have this function, so this type of rangefinder can also be called a goniometer. Many models from Touareg and Alpha have this feature, while all models from Nikon are unable to measure angles. Some of the models that the doctor is capable of can measure angles. The ability to measure angles is another major factor affecting the price of telescope style laser rangefinders.
4. Can the height of the target be measured (height difference):
Unlike the concept of height measurement mentioned earlier, it refers to measuring the height of the target itself, which is a function only available in rangefinders. Currently, only the SP1500H from Tuyade has this advanced feature. However, in the new product released by Orfa in Germany in May 2012, there was a rangefinder with such a function. Neither Doctor nor Nikon has such a model.
5. Can the horizontal distance be measured
The measurement distance mentioned earlier refers to the straight-line distance from the measurement position to the measurement target, while the horizontal distance refers to the horizontal distance from the measurement position to the measurement target. These two distances are different. This is a function only available on rangefinders.
6. Can continuous distance measurement be achieved
Continuous distance measurement is very useful in many situations, so this function is also very important.
