Nikon Forestry Pro II Laser Rangefinder #16703

Description

e
The Forestry Pro II is an evolved model of the current Forestry Pro which has been highly acclaimed as a simple surveying instrument for forestry. Inheriting functions useful for simple measurement that the existing model employs such as actual distance, horizontal distance, height, angle and vertical separation (difference in height between two targets) measurement functions, and three-point measurement (height between two points), the Forestry Pro II extends the maximum measurement range with improved accuracy of measured results, as evolved points. Also, the measurement response time until results are displayed has been shortened. This new model achieves measurement of longer distances than the original Forestry Pro while providing more accurate and faster response.
The external display has a higher pixel count making it easier to view than the previous model. Backlighting is newly employed so that the display can be viewed easily even in dark situations, such as for forestry. There are three levels of backlight brightness that can be adjusted according to the light conditions.
In addition, a log function is employed for storing up to 250 measurement results. This log can be referred to on the external display, for more convenient use.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the
Nikon Forestry Pro II Laser Rangefinder
and 3-point hypsometer is designed for the forestry industry but can be used in utility and other industrial and commercial applications.
Nikon boosted the effective range to an impressive 1750 yards with a faster return time of just 0.3 seconds regardless of distance and an internal memory log that can store up to 250 measurements for later retrieval. Utilizing an integrated inclinometer and advanced ranging algorithms, the Forestry Pro II offers you an impressive range of measurement options including: Actual linear distance; adjusted range that takes the upward or downward angle to the subject into account; and measuring the height of a subject like a utility pole or tree using two-point or three-point geometry. You can also take spot or 8-second continuous readings with first target and last target priority options. Ranging distance information is shown on both in-view and external LCD displays. The external display is backlit for better readability and is ideal when you need to refer to the measurement while logging information into field journals, tablets, or computers.
Beyond the impressive rangefinding capabilities, the Forestry Pro II employs a 6x21 monocular that ensures you are ranging to the correct subject without adding excessive weight and bulk. With a wide field of view, long eye relief, and anti-reflection multi-coatings, views through the rangefinder are bright and clear with accurate colors and improved contrast and clarity. A broad operating temperature range and water resistance against driving rain allow the Forestry Pro II to keep working even when you want to head inside. Its compact and lightweight design won't weigh you down in the field and can be comfortably worn on your belt or hung around your neck using the included carrying case and neck strap.
Optical Performance
Relatively low 6x magnification brings subjects closer to ensure user is ranging to the correct target
21mm objective lens keeps the overall form factor and weight down for easier carrying and handling
Compact roof prism design contributes to the compact body design
Anti-reflection multi-coated optics improve image brightness, color rendition, and contrast
Wide 394-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Long 18mm eye relief improves viewing comfort and reduces eyestrain with or without eyeglasses, sunglasses, or safety glasses
Comfortable 3.5mm exit pupil

Rangefinder Functions
Measures actual linear distance, horizontal distance (adjusted for upward or downward angle to subject), height, angle, the difference in height between two targets (the height of a tree from the ground to top), and the height between two points (height of a tree if the base of the trunk is blocked by weeds)
Log function enables up to 250 measurement results to be stored internally
Approximately 0.3 second metering time on the internal display
Target Priority Switch System: First Target Priority mode measures the distance to the closest; Distant Target Priority mode measures to the farthest subject (ideal for measuring distance to a subject that is partially obstructed)
Spot or 8-second continuous measurement modes
