Hunters, surveyors, and outdoor enthusiasts rely on this rangefinder for accurate distance measurements from 5 to 1000 meters with ±1 m precision. Its 6x magnification and fully multi-coated 21 mm objective lens deliver bright, clear views, while multiple measurement modes—including continuous scan, flagpole lock, slope compensation, height, and speed—cover a wide range of tasks. The IP54-rated housing shrugs off dust and splashes, and the 1/4" tripod mount allows stable, hands-free operation. Powered by a single CR2 battery, the LX1000 is a compact, dependable tool for any distance-measuring need.
