A rangefinder, by definition, is a device that is supposed to show us the distance to a fixed object without having to walk the distance between us. In the following category, we would like to present the different types of rangefinders that we have in the offer of the Militaria.pl store. First, however, we would like to briefly discuss how this device works. Although there are many types, most of them work on a similar principle. We distinguish between laser rangefinders, which send a laser beam to a non-transparent object and, based on the time that passes for the reflected beam to return, calculate the distance separating us from the observed object. For accurate measurement, we should also choose a sufficiently large object. For example, for the Bushnell 4x20 Trophy Extreme laser rangefinder it is 770 meters for a car or single-family building, 550 meters for a tree or large boulder and 180 meters for an animal. Laser rangefinders offer accuracy to one meter, which gives us a multitude of possibilities for using this tool. For example, a hunting rangefinder will help us calculate the trajectory of a bullet, giving us an idea of the distance between the hunter and the animal. The same is true for a golf rangefinder, which is a very popular accessory for this sport, helping to select the strength of the ball hit into the hole. And let's not forget military applications - a military rangefinder is used for a variety of operational activities, from artillery to strategy planning. The parameters of a military rangefinder allow you to measure a distance of up to twenty-five kilometers. They are divided into stationary ones, mounted on a tripod, and mobile ones, which resemble civilian versions. An additional feature is the ability to measure the angles of the observed objects vertically and horizontally. It is interesting to note that rangefinders are not used by snipers, as they are easily detected by an enemy with eletro-optic equipment.
A laser rangefinder can be constructed as a monocular with a single output lens, but it also comes in the form of rangefinder binoculars, which can perform the functions of both rangefinder and observation binoculars. Binoculars with rangefinders are very interesting devices that, with the use of appropriate technologies, are not inferior to binoculars without a distance measuring function. A good example of this would be products from Bushnell and Steiner, in which the use of FMC anti-reflective coatings, dry nitrogen filling and the use of BaK-4 glass make the equipment will perform perfectly in more difficult conditions. In addition, you can find models that provide the ability to measure the distance of a moving object. Binoculars with a rangefinder in such a modern configuration can perform the functions of a nautical rangefinder or a hunting rangefinder. In addition, a rangefinder filled with dry nitrogen prevents evaporation and water deposition when using the device in high humidity conditions.
There are a great number of applications for laser rangefinders, which will facilitate your daily work and support your hobbies. It is easy to imagine that with their help you will be able to measure the distance to the nearest hut, while traveling on mountain trails or precisely set targets on a home shooting range. A nautical rangefinder these days is practically indispensable on any watercraft. It is used both on giant tankers and on civilian sailboats or yachts. A golf rangefinder is able to improve our performance once we know to the nearest meter the distance separating us from the next hole. The military rangefinder has been widely used in various forms for several decades, but only recently has it become so advanced. Technology is advancing day by day, pushing further boundaries, giving us even more accurate measurements. No matter what kind of rangefinder you're looking for - we have a variety of models available in different price categories. We are confident that you will find something for you!
