NewCon Optik LRM 1500SPD Laser Monocular Rangefinder

Pros: Easy to use, accurate ranging.
Cons: Skip the "speed" feature. It does not appear to be very accurate.

I use the NewCom LRM 1500SPD mainly for long-range shooting. I found it accurate and easy to use. Before I go into how far I was able to range different objects, a little info on using laser rangefinders. To get the most out of your rangefinder you nee ...

Pros: Not waterproof but VERY water resistant and well constructed
Cons: Great machine with all the bells and whistles

The Newcon LRM 1500 laser rangefinder is easily the best value in high end laser rangefinders on the market today. I have the LRM 1500 and a Nikon Realtree GOLD. The Nikon is wonderful and has world class optics. The Newcon is also wonderful and while not world class like the Nikon, you can find it at nearly half the price. The Nikon product is also waterproof

Pros: No
Cons: never worked

I just bought it today, and it already doesnt work. The laser seems to work as it does set my radar detector off. But aiming at white object of any distance returns 4 dashes all the time, no speed or distance has been measured. I tried highly reflective objects in low light areas and still no return just dashes. Objects use where a brand new large very white colored building, white or silver cars and other reflective objects. I can see the little lightning bolt indicating laser is active, but nothing, very disappointed. I have gone through the limted intrsuction sheet that is included several times to see if there are any steps that I missed. I even swapped out a new battery for another and still get the same results. A product costing this much should work for at least a little while, one might think.

Pros: there are none
Cons: it flatout doesn't work

took my new rangefinder out today and it doesn't work, period. and i can read a manual. called the customer service all day and while the line was always busy they do have a message that will put you in touch with exciting people. i'm going with a chargeback. as to the glowing praise by the other reviewer he is either lucky or a company shill.
