Leupold GX 1 Digital Rangefinder
Leupold’s GX Series of Digital Rangefinders are feature-rich and precision
engineered to provide reliable distance readings on the course so you can take
the guesswork out of your club selections and swing. The GX 1 Digital
Rangefinder is Leupold’s most basic model, but provides plenty of
distance-finding technology in this small package.
Pinhunter technology is Leupold’s proprietary laser beam geometry that
separates returned background readings from target readings to ensure you’re
getting the right reading to the right target. Scan mode allows you to hold
down the power button to gather multiple readings in one quick sweep. As an
added benefit on courses with prism technology, the GX-1 will beep and freeze
the display the moment you scan a prism-topped flagstick, assuring you of an
accurate pin reading.
The optical system combines precision glass with a cutting-edge coating
technology and rugged structural components. Looking through the viewfinder,
you’ll see seven selectable aiming reticules and distance readings in either
yards or meters. The GX-1’s maximum range is 750 yards, or 686 meters with an
accurate pin range of 350 yards or 318 meters. The batter supports thousands
of actuations and the built-in indicator will let you know when the battery
life is low. The whole unit is only 6.8 ounces and is durable enough to hold
up to just about any weather condition you’ll run into on the course. The GX-1
makes for a great entry-level unit in Leupold’s attractive digital rangefinder
line.
