Tips for accurate ranging/distance with the Series 4 Ultra RangefinderUpdated 8 months ago
To help ensure a consistent and accurate distance measurement, the following tips are recommended:
- Be aware that snow, rain, and fog will have an adverse effect on ranging ability.
- Shiny, reflective surfaces will usually reflect better than dull, textured surfaces.
- Ranging under cloud cover can improve performance compared to bright sunny conditions.
- The position of the sun compared to the rangefinder and/or the range target will affect performance.
- Flat surfaces perpendicular to the laser pulse will reflect better than curved surfaces or surfaces angled in relation to the laser pulse.
- At longer distances, larger objects will be ranged more easily compared to smaller objects.
