Nikon COOLSHOt 40 & 40i

Nikon Coolshot 40 & 40i

The COOLSHOT 40 is designed exclusively for measuring actual distance, while the COOLSHOT 40i incorporates ID Technology which displays the slope-adjusted distance (horizontal distance ± height) – ideal for use on golf courses with uphill and downhill slopes. Both the COOLSHOT 40i and 40 offer a multilayer-coated 6x high-quality finder for bright, clear images. Thanks to Nikon’s original data-processing algorithm HYPER READ, the measured distance is displayed with a fast, stable response regardless of how far you are from the target. The measurement result is shown in approx. 0.5 second, enabling you to focus on your game with stress-free measurement. Both models employ the First Target priority mode, which is useful to measure the distance to a flagstick on a green with woods in the background, during approach shots. For all these features, the Nikon COOLSHOT 40i and 40 are easy to operate, compactly designed to ensure a comfortable grip and portability. Rainproofing is applied to handle sudden showers.
