    Anyone used these cheap Kogan range finders?

    For the price I'm wondering if these are much good. Or are range finders a case of "buy once, cry once"?

    Ideally I want to accurately range to about 500m.

    I have an Ali Express golf range finder in my golf bag. It was around $60. It works pretty well. Lens are rubbish so I'd not think it will be very useful in low light. USB charge so could be an issue for extended use. It's very lightweight so I wouldn't think if it's very durable. I'm assuming your wanting this for hunting/shooting, and not golf.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I have a aliexpress snfway(?) And it seems alright. I would agree it's not the greatest in low light but I'm happy with it.

    I'd be really keen to compare to a luepold or similar to see how different the 1 are.
