With an electronic rangefinder, you can easily measure the distance to a far away object. This makes it easier to register the distance to an animal, rooms in the house or measurements on a construction site. Perfect for use with binoculars or camera.

A rangefinder is an electronic device which measures the distance from the user to a specific object. The application possibilities are diverse, but this device is widely used in photography. Saving time plays an important role, as the rangefinder quickly shows an exact distance. This will give you enough information to choose a suitable lens for your camera. In addition to applications in photography, a rangefinder is often used by real estate agents, animal spotters and architects. If your camera, binoculars or telescope does not have a built-in rangefinder, a separate device can help The distance over which this device can measure ranges from 10 metres in cheaper models, up to 800 metres in high-quality models. Many rangefinders have clear LCD screens for displaying measurements.
There are different types of rangefinders that work electronically. The main types are those that use laser and those that are ultrasonic. We've explained a couple of these below:
The most important function of a rangefinder is of course measuring the distance to the object. With current techniques, however, the models have many other functions that are important under different circumstances. Another important function measuring the area or volume in a certain space. This function can be useful for determining storage capacity or the dimensions of a room. In addition, minimum and maximum measurements can be set on some models, which can also be used for measuring rooms with curved walls. In addition to measuring a single distance, there's an option to add several measurements together. Other functions include measuring altitude, velocity and sharing via Bluetooth.
