Golf/hunting dual-purpose artifact! GS19W rangefinder slope compensation + flag lock function actual test
Blog Article
In the field of outdoor ranging tools, the Gogogo GS19W laser rangefinder, with its excellent slope compensation and flag lock functions, has become a practical tool for golf and hunting scenarios. The following is an in-depth analysis of how these two major functions empower outdoor experiences through actual tests.
Slope compensation: Break through terrain interference and achieve precise distance measurement
(1) Actual measurement of golf scenarios
Golf courses have diverse terrains, with hills and slopes being common. The undulation of the terrain directly affects the judgment of the hitting distance. The slope compensation function of GS19W can automatically identify the slope of the court, combine Angle and distance data, and calculate the "equivalent level distance" in real time.
In actual measurement, when facing a 160-yard uphill hole, the slope is approximately 12°. When the slope compensation is not enabled, the rangefinder shows 160 yards. However, in reality, due to the influence of gravity and terrain on the ball's flight path, the ball needs to be hit with a force of about 175 yards. After enabling the slope compensation, the device outputs the corrected equivalent distance (such as 175 yards), helping golfers precisely select the club (switching from an 8-iron to a 7-iron) and control the hitting force to avoid mistakes like "hitting too short" or "hitting through" the green. Around the green, slope compensation can correct the distance deviation of short shots, making the slings and putting more delicate and improving the control of the ball's landing point.
(2) Extension of hunting scenes
When hunting, the slope of the terrain also affects the judgment of range. Observe the prey 200 yards away on the hillside. Slope compensation can correct the deviation between the "visual distance" and the "actual range". For instance, if the prey is located on an uphill terrain with a slope of 10°, and the slope compensation shows an equivalent distance of 215 yards, the hunter can adjust the aiming point of the firearm or the pull of the bow and arrow accordingly to increase the success rate of hunting and make complex terrain no longer an obstacle to precise distance measurement.
Flag Lock function: Quickly lock onto the target and say goodbye to misjudgment
(1) Golf scene: Precisely capture the ball flag
On the golf course, there are often interfering objects such as trees and sandpits around the ball flags, and traditional rangefinders are prone to misdetect background objects. The flag lock function of GS19W has been tested to be highly efficient: Press and hold the measurement key to start scanning. When the crosssight aligns with the ball flag area (supporting up to 900 code locking), the device will intelligently recognize the ball flag (distinguishing the slender rod-shaped object from the background through algorithms). When the lock is successful, there will be a vibration feedback, and the screen will synchronously display the distance of the ball flag and the green mark.
In complex course landscapes (such as when there is a thick forest behind the flag), traditional rangefinders may mistakenly measure the distance of the forest (showing 220 yards, while the actual flag is only 180 yards). However, the flag lock function of the GS19W can bypass background interference and directly capture the distance of the flag, helping golfers make decisive decisions on their hitting strategies - choosing a 6-iron to precisely attack the green. It is still advisable to use a long club for a conservative transition to avoid choosing the wrong club due to misjudgment of distance and increase the success rate of hitting the ball.
(2) Hunting Scene: Lock onto key targets
When hunting, the flag lock function can be extended to lock onto key reference objects (such as trees and rocks) around the prey. After quickly locking the target, by combining slope compensation and ranging data, hunters can better plan their travel routes and predict the movements of their prey. For instance, lock on a rock 300 yards away from the prey as a reference point for shooting, which helps to determine the shooting Angle and distance, making the hunting operation more strategic.
Multi-mode collaboration, covering all scenario demands
In addition to the slope compensation and flag lock functions, the regular scanning mode (5-900 yards ranging) and speed mode (0-300 km/h speed measurement) of the GS19W work in synergy with its core functions:
Long-distance hole/hunting observation: The conventional scanning mode covers ultra-long distances, slope compensation corrects terrain deviations, and the flag lock function quickly locks onto the target, helping users use the right tools and strike the right direction.
Dynamic target monitoring: The speed mode can measure the movement speed of the prey (such as a running hare) during hunting, assisting in determining the shooting timing. Although the golf scene is not commonly used, it expands the playability of the equipment.
Portability and durability: The 184-gram lightweight body, paired with a USB charging cable, caters to outdoor portability needs. Its waterproof feature (capable of withstanding light rain and dew on the sports field) ensures stable operation, making the GS19W reliable and durable in all scenarios.
The slope compensation of the Gogogo GS19W rangefinder breaks through terrain interference, the flag lock function precisely locks the target, and the multi-mode coordination covers the entire scene of golf and hunting. Whether you are a golf enthusiast seeking precise shots or a player passionate about outdoor hunting, the GS19W can become a powerful assistant for outdoor exploration with its practical functions and reliable performance, empowering every swing and aim with precise data.
