Rangefinders are valued for their ability to measure distances quickly, but their maximum range varies widely—from just a few meters to over a kilometer. The distance a rangefinder can cover depends mostly on its type (laser, ultrasonic, or optical) and design, as well as environmental factors. Let’s break down the typical range of each type an
How Do Rangefinders Work?
Rangefinders are essential tools for measuring distances quickly and accurately—used in golf, hunting, construction, and even outdoor hobbies. But have you ever wondered how these devices calculate distance in seconds? Let’s break down their working principles, focusing on the three most common types: laser, ultrasonic, and optical rangefinders
