Nikon CoolShot Pro Stabilized

[@marksgametime]

This is the only review I found that demos the stabilizer and compares it side by side with the bushnell. Best Review yet! good job!

[@Joey1970T]

Great review. I went to buy a range finder at the PGA Superstore and they went through all the feature benefits but then the guy said “after a BIG Friday night, this one works well on Saturday morning with shaky hands!” SOLD. Nikon also has a feature which allows you to hold the button down and shoot multiple objects like bunkers, trees, lakes for ball carry purposes.

[@Caddiesense]

I never listened to a word he said but I’m sure it was ok. My attention was immediately drawn to the most beautiful sofa I have ever seen. It was love at first sight. I’m mesmerized! My heart is pounding.

[@FriedEggsGolf]

It's really ties the room together!

[@Jayhawk226]

@@FriedEggsGolf said no man ever. But you do you.

[@MrKydaman]

The stabilizing and the target lock feature looked really useful. With the slope too it is all you need.

[@FriedEggsGolf]

AMENDMENT: I removed the portion of the video where I used the Pythagorean Theorem for slope, I mistakenly calculated for actual distance not slope... so the slope feature works fine! LESSON: Stay away from math!

[@mujarice]

As someone with last year's model (80i VR) and someone with essential tremors (old man shaky hands,) I can honestly say that the optical stabilization is amazing. I haven't been able to shoot any flags with any of my friends' rangefinders outside of 160 yards. But with mine, I can shoot a flag to 250 yards (or longer) easily. On the battery side, I go through 2 batteries per season. That may be due to the optical stabilization but well worth the investment. I think anyone can benefit this rangefinder... With or without shaky hands. Great review! PEW PEW!

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Matthew Rice Thanks Matthew!

[@shanoneva]

Got the Coolshot 80VR and the stabilizing function is great.

[@kcbice]

I am always amazed at how many of my golf buddies complained that they couldn't use a range finder because their hands shake too much. I never had the problem but this is a great solution for guys like that.

[@billmalec]

I have the older Cool Shot(which looks even smaller than that) and have very large hands. It's never been a problem.

[@roykullick5273]

Nice vid, Randy! You honestly don't do enough of these

Good job Randy , well done on growing a beard just for the sake of testing the tech. Nice to see a reviewer going the extra mile for his subscribers 👍😊

[@markpogson3799]

The slope reading is not supposed to give you the real distance. Its supposed to tell you how far it will feel like because you are hitting up hill. So a 100 yard shot up hill may require a club that hits 115, so the slppe reading will say 115. Plus Pythagoras didn't play golf so what would he know? :)

[@mydogsnameisbob]

Came here to say this. It worked exactly as I expected. 14 yards for an uphill 12 yard shot makes a whole lot of sense to me Randy.

[@FriedEggsGolf]

You're correct, I calculated total distance... not slope🤦🏻‍♂️ At least my math was spot on!

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Mark is spot on... I calculated for actual distance, not slope. Thank you guys for being on the ball, I'll post an amendment at the top of the comments!

[@ericleavitt8952]

I think I got a different measurement when using the Pythagorean theorem. When squaring your small hands and adding that to your beard squared it equaled awesomeness. Plus my calculator also added a weird exponent which it called ugliness of couch degree; which was a 9.

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Checking your numbers... it checks out.

[@maamold]

Holy crap.....You just helped me get my math degree. Thanks Randy!

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Even thought the math was sound, the application was wrong... the slope is actually quite accurate.

[@Jddvs]

Older review but, informative and well done.

[@jacobweigand7234]

I have the Nikon Coolshot 20, which does not have the stabilization feature and is smaller, but being small it is super light so when I'm walking a course I don't feel the extra weight. Also, even without the stabilization feature it captures the flag really well, has a nice legible display, which is black not red and green, and costs half as much as this one. Anyways solid review!

[@markdillon5125]

G'day Randy Another fine production from you and your "team"!!! I inspected and read reviews about a number of range fingers and decided not to buy one. I settled on the Arccos grips with the Caddie app. Found it to be amazingly helpful to my game. Get yourself a set to review you won't be disappointed. Don't know if Beverly's Hills will be mapped on their system though.

[@thebigeasy8609]

Well done Randy. Entertaining AND educational! (Pythagorean theorem????) REALLY, Bro!

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Unfortunately, I didn't calculate the elevation change I just solved for actual distance... so the end result was incorrect. The slope feature in the unit is actually pretty accurate.

[@brianlawrence5935]

Great job

[@markthegolfaddict9051]

Right off the bat, you basically say small things fit better in your hand. What you and Quinton do off camera is not my business.

[@susanwang266]

[@FriedEggsGolf]

[@happyhaunter_5546]

would recommend a small camera bag or a wide varitary of military surplus MOLLE gear pouch to protect your investment as obviously the included case...leaves a lot to be desired! Thanks Randy

[@michael2782]

Spilled some water on my (water resistant - hah) Bushy V4 tour and trying to decide on a replacement. It's between the CoolShot and the Garmin Z82. Love the Garmin graphics and the CoolShot stabilization. Have you tried out the Z82? Really value your videos and find them much more assistance in helping me make a decision.

[@stevestewart4847]

Just go with the excuse there’s not much slope to calculate in Indiana.

[@FriedEggsGolf]

Steve Stewart Truth!

[@DetVen]

1:39 - For Christ's sake, that's exactly what happened to my Nikon CoolShot 2 years ago, swear-to-God! I always kept it hung by the D-ring on the top part my Nike golf bag...about midway thru a round, it's not in the case and the case is popped open and I thought someone just went up to my bag and stole it, but the course was relatively empty and my playing partners confirmed nobody was around us to steal it...I had to conclude that the case just popped open when I drove over some bumps with the golf cart. What's worse is, my faith in humanity was lost because I called the pro shop for a week and nobody returned it and that's just sad. It worked great, best one I ever had…but if you buy this, don’t use the carry case or buy a good carry case for it.

[@ericj.ramirez2796]

Great video!! Could you do a review of some golf watches vs. Range finders? I know that "Beverly's Hills" is probably not one of the courses stored in the watches so you'd probably have to go "slumming" at a regular course.

[@travisteeple4742]

You think you can make such drastic changes and we wouldn't notice? WHERE'S THE TISSUE?! Related to the video, what do you think about phone GPS apps (Grint, SwingBySwing, 18Birdies, etc.) compared to this? Do you think an average golfer would benefit more from knowing the front/back of the green vs exact yardage to the pin?

[@FriedEggsGolf]

I've always leaned more towards laser as apposed to GPS... for no reason other than I can never remember to charge my GPS/Phone.

[@johnq4196]

how does this differ from the Pro II version?

[@paulbown3960]

Fried Eggs Golf doesn’t the slope setting tell you how that measurement “plays”? So a measurement when the slope is up would be longer since an uphill shot plays longer.

Golfer mates, a little alert that I take from time to time for you to make a reasoned purchase. Here is for the NIKON Coolshot Pro Stabilized I bought a used NIKON Coolshot Pro Stabilized, the top of the range NIKON after more than 15 years with the brand Bushnell. Why ? To see …. My attention point for you Golfer mates is 2 orders and concerns a warranty issue with NIKON. First, the person who sold it to me could not provide proof of purchase. It was a gift and he didn’t get the invoiced and certainly wasn’t going to say he sold the Nikon Coolshot Pro Stabilized 1 month after that gift. So I contacted Nikon because I wanted to be able to benefit from the guarantee as a commercial and legal matter if necessary. It should be noted that I have had this kind of case with the SONY and COMPEX trademarks. Both trademarks have granted it to me. Sony has found, thanks to the serial number product's, the date of the delivery to store and made me leave the warranty from it. Compex asked me to keep the trade agreement email. NIKON, REFUSES categorically to grant the legal guarantee to which it is normally subject. This despite the price of the product and the so-called customer matters. WORSE, I saw in the box a paper mentioning a 1 year guarantee !!! However, in Europe the legal guarantee is 2 years. And NIKON must follow it. NIKON clearly wishes to divest itself of its legal obligations. I’m even wondering how that will work if there’s a guarantee to play with an invoice. Bad I guess. I made it clear to NIKON that I would alert the community of French, English and Spanish golfers, speaking these three languages, it obviously did not seem to worry them. They probably think we have too much money and could buy the range finder again if it will not work fine. For a product at 499 euros in some stores (in France), I had to alert if you're buying and you could make the right choice. I was very pleased with my Bushnell. If Nikon ever changes his mind, I will let you know. Best regards My friends

Yes, but unfortunately I mathed the wrong thing... slope is a different calculation. Oh well, at least kids will know how to you the Pythagorean Theorem!

[@BeachBow]

Too expensive. And I've yet to see an amature play any better knowing the exact distance to the pin. Find a sprinkler head, look at the flag, pace off the shot. Simple and effective. And for $500, I also get some exercise. JM2C
