Hate to sound stupid but can I point these at a ball or another target to get a distance? Or does it only lock on to a pin? I'd like to use one for working on wedge yardages.
Not a stupid question at all Duncan 👍 each have a scan mode that will just send back yardages as you move the viewfinder, which generally work fine…they’ll just find it harder to ‘lock on’ to something that’s not a solid object (like a flag pole, wall, take etc’
Hi Kevin just subscribed and love the rangefinder reviews inc the Mileseey. Simple question £130.00 approx budget which rangefinder would go for today? Thanks again Paul
Thanks for watching and Subscribing Paul. In that price range I’d buy a Mileseey, either the 210 or 270 - feel a little more solid compared to the Aofar. If you can find it on offer, next option up for me would be the Motocaddy Pro 3000 or Shot Scope Pro LX - I have full reviews on both 👍
Thanks for watching Earl and thanks for the feedback. Thought it might be a bit boring just having me talking for 15 minutes, but I can see how the music is quite repetitive it could get distracting after a while. Will bare it in mind going forwards, maybe I’ll include at the start and end 👍
@@GolfGuyReviews I totally get your intention here. Nevertheless, my focus is on you the tester/presenter and I would be fine if the music would fade in and out on short breaks/scene switches. However, during talking the higher beeps were as I said a bit weird and distracting. At first I had to look in my house where a radio was still turned on and playing 😂 however, again: great review - also on other videos. Keep up the great work! Really like your channel.
@@stuartcarson9378 Good question...honestly, probably not, but it all comes down to what you want to spend. There is a noticeable difference between the feel and size of them. But they do the same job so if you're happy the Aofar is a little bigger and more plasticky than the Mileseey, I'd say no need to spend the extra £30.
Cracking review mate but it would have been nice to see how they looked when “range finding” 😁👍. The layout etc. Not a criticism old bean, just a potential way to have improved on it👍
Thanks Mark, totally fair. I did try but I couldn’t really get it to work on camera 😂🤦♂️ I’m afraid you’ll have to take my word for it, the Aofar has by far the best display in my opinion 😂👍
Do you rate any of these better than the Mileseey PF210 Rangefinder? If so which one and why or what would you recommend for $160 au or less. Cheers heaps
To be honest I’d say the Aofar performs just as well as the mileseey pf210, but it does feel a little bit cheaper and Etta only sits larger in the hand, so I depends how much you value the slightly smaller form factor and better quality feel of the mileseey. But there’s no difference in terms of performance in my opinion 👍
Good review. Couldn’t help but laugh when I heard you said you could change the device’s metric readout from meters to yards easily whether you’re in America or the UK, as if you forget that we’re like the only remaining countries that still use the empirical system.. yards, miles, and pounds! Though you guys still say stones when counting your weight which is totally weird to hear and workout.
Thanks for watching! Haha very true. It's a nightmare as I was taught to measure everything in metric, although everyone still measures speed and distance in imperial. Most use imperial for weight too, even though all the packaging is in imperial....it's a bloody nightmare!!!!!!!! 😂
Thanks for watching and sharing, that's a shame it's not working as well as you'd like. I've used the Aofar several time, and given it to a friend to test as well, didn't experience any issues when testing it a longer distances. When I tested it side by side against a Bushnell Tour V5 Shift, it performed well, the Bushnell was easier to lock on with for sure at over 200yd, but I never had an instance of not getting the flag lock to work, even when I tested at 400yd.
Buy the Aofar Rangefinder from Amazon here:
UK = amzn.to/2Kx8Lmc
US = amzn.to/3i0rzJ3

Thanks for this video mate. Decided on the AOFAR after this. Looking forward to putting it to use on Monday when golf is back!
Great stuff 👍 Thanks for watching, roll on Monday!
This is awesome Works great is it a store easy to clean
Thanks 🙏
Nice review 👌🏼
Thanks Gary, much appreciated 👍

@@GolfGuyReviews thanks
same question I was thinking, as would like to use one for gapping my clubs etc
Going to go with the more compact Wosport, hope I'm not disappointed...
Thanks for watching. I hope not too 👍
Nice review mate. 👍👍
Thanks Stu 👍 cheers for watching!
good review, thx
Thanks Paul, really appreciate it 👍

Great review. Really enjoyed it. However, please leave out the background music next time. It was a bit distracting and weird to me.

@@Earl553 thanks Earl, great feedback. Working on a video tonight that I hope to get out this week, so will have a think about the music 👍
I kept on pausing it 😂 thought something was beeping upstairs!
@@jordanwoolsey1761 Haha, sorry! Lesson learned, don't use that track as background music throughout :)
looking for birthday gift for my son ..I think with your help, I will chose the Aerofar GX 2S ...thank you for your comments and advice
Thanks for watching and sharing Patti, I hope it helped an the likes your gift!
Does the Aofar give slope yardage?.
Yes 👍
How do they compare with the MiLESEEY you looked at ?
In terms of accuracy I think they are very similar. The Mileseey is a little more compact and feels a little more solid and higher quality 👍
@@GolfGuyReviews Thanks, I will go for the Milesseey.
@@stuartcarson9378 don’t forget to use my links in the review 👍 - th-cam.com/video/48fQZ5AeY_U/w-d-xo.html
@@GolfGuyReviews No problem, just looking at prices, would you say the Mileseey is worth £30 more than the Aofar ?

@@GolfGuyReviews based on the review that’s what I thought. I have a Garmin but I would like a range finder too so this really helped
@@markfitzpatrick360 The Aofar is currently on sale for £70 👍
Did you get the aofar normal or upgraded version?
Hi Ross. I'm sorry I'm not sure. The model number is the GX-2S
What’s the bat ree life like on them mate?
Thanks for watching Josh. Battery life seems fine. I've used the Aofar quite a lot over the last 6 months and it's still on full battery.

Didnt think handicaps went to 80..

Who plays golf in the heaviest of rain?
I’m assuming you’re not from the Uk? 🤣 I hope these videos helped 👍
I bought the AOFAR and I cannot shoot a flag over 200 yards. Terrible unit. returning immmediately
