Bought this today, just waiting on delivery,will follow up with my thoughts, I'm pretty sure I could use a small rubber seal on battery, may protrude out a touch but as long as the screw thread is decent it should work, thanks for the review
New to golfing. Can u lock on to your ball once it lands? I wonder how far I am hitting my ball. great video. This is probably the one I will buy. Watching from Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦
Hi Ta L, thanks for watching. I don’t think you’d be able to lock on to your ball ( presuming you can see if…hopefully in the fairway). But you would be able to use the scan mode pointing at the ball to get a good idea within a few yards I’d say 👍 I hope that helps
Haha, sneaky sneaky! I think it goes on offer from time to time. Still a great price at £90 to be fair - will be interesting to see how it compares to the £360 Bushnell V5 switch that I just bought....
Thanks Jarod. Good suggestion and will try to film it. They perform pretty much the same, so just depends if you want to pay a little extra for the smaller, slightly more solid form of the Mileseey.
Great review! Ive used all the expensive ones and excited to give this one a try. For $77 after Amazon coupon and tax...how can I go wrong? Cheers, Joe
Thanks for watching 👍 yes the unit can measure to hazards, generally I do it in scan mode so I can get a better idea. So long as the laser can reflect off the surface you’ll get a reading, so it will depend on the conditions and what it’s reflecting off…but that’s the same for any laser rangefinder 👍
If it's the Mileseey with Slope and flag lock jolt (the white one), the I'd go with that. If it's the Mileseey without the flag lock jolt (the blue one) I'd probably go for the Aofar. I've got a full review of the white Mileseey on the channel, and links to buy are below. Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already 👍
@@GolfGuyReviews no worries, great video! Arrived today first impressions it’s really good - the display is really nice! Taking it out tomorrow to see what it’s all about!
I ordered this model however, when I lock on, the target circle pulsates, I don’t feel a physical vibration. Is this unit supposed to vibrate in your hand?
Thanks. Sorry, I was aiming at things around my neighborhood. As soon as I used it at the golf course and aimed at the flags it worked like a charm. It’s accurate as I tested it with my buddies’ more expensive rangefinders I was right on with them or within 1 to 2 yards. That’s good enough for me.
Not just Chinese made but a Chinese brand, at 1/4 of the price of premium brands and 90% as good. Pro: almost all golfers who don't already have one will be willing to open up their wallets to get one. Con : many premium brands will be in trouble

Seeing what the range finder looks like when shooting a target was very useful. Whoever suggested that must be a genius! 😉👍👍👍
Next level genius I’d say 😆
I’ve just bought a top of the line rangefinder....I feel a comparison coming on 😂
I have this rangefinder does the job perfectly
Thanks for watching Stuart. I’m very impressed with it 👍

£89.99 now. It seems your review has done a good job and they have realised it’s worth more now

Yep I just bought one after seeing this vid . It came today.
Great review! Would love to see a comparison between this and the Mileseey that you’ve already done a review for.
Thanks Jarod. Good suggestion and will try to film it. They perform pretty much the same, so just depends if you want to pay a little extra for the smaller, slightly more solid form of the Mileseey.
Good video on rangefinder will bear this in minc when looking to make a purchase. Happy new year
Thanks Raj! Happy new year to you too!
Great review! Bought the Aofar using your link
Nice one Shane, thanks for watching and using my link!

Great stuff Joe, let me know how you get on!
Will this unit measure the distance to a hazard? Thanks!

What would you pick between this and the mileseey if they were the same price?
If it's the Mileseey with Slope and flag lock jolt (the white one), the I'd go with that.
If it's the Mileseey without the flag lock jolt (the blue one) I'd probably go for the Aofar.

Is it just me or could you say the name is pronounced OWFAR as in "how far"?
Great shout 😂👏
That's how I read it, "ao" as in "Tao". How far? Makes sense.
Bought one!
Thanks for watching 👍 let me know how you get on!

@@alexnickson great stuff, play well!!
@@alexnickson how’d u get on
I don’t have the vibration feature for some reason
How strange, mine does for sure when it locks onto the flag. If it's not working properly I'd suggest returning it.
Aofnar or mileseey pf260?
Probably the mileseey if budget allows

Yes it’s supposed to vibrate when it locks on

is this range finder waterproof? can be used in rains?
Not sure, but if I had to guess, I’d say no

Who is going to golf during the heaviest of rains?
I’m assuming you’re not from the Uk? 🤣 thanks for watching John 👍
