Wow, what a start to the year so far, let me assure the golfers reading this that the best is yet to come, and this review is nothing short of exceptional. 

This article we are reviewing the Zoom OLED Pro Rangefinder, which sets a new standard in the world of golf accessories, blending opulent aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. With a sophisticated design that mimics the luxurious feel of leather and metal, this rangefinder doesn’t just look premium – it delivers an exceptional performance that surpasses its mid-tier pricing.

From the moment you hold the Zoom OLED Pro, its leather and metal facade exudes elegance and quality. The attention to detail in the construction is apparent, making it clear that this rangefinder belongs in the super premium category. Despite its sophisticated appearance, Zoom manages to offer this premium feel at a mid-range price point.

Its best feature in my opinion! The OLED Pro boasts a best-in-class Dual OLED display that sets it apart from the competition. The display offers incredible clarity and contrast, eliminating any strain on your eyes. Whether you’re playing under bright sunlight or overcast conditions, the vivid Dual OLED display ensures optimal visibility, making it a standout feature of this rangefinder.

Surpassing expectations for a mid-tier device, the OLED Pro demonstrates superior brightness, faster flag lock, a broader field of view, and an extended range, features elevating its performance to a level usually associated with super premium rangefinders. Zoom’s commitment to providing premium quality at an accessible price point is evident in the OLED Pro’s impressive capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Zoom OLED Pro is its vibrant Dual OLED display, presenting distances with red text and green flag feedback. This not only adds a visually pleasing element but also enhances clarity. The multicolour OLED display ensures clear visibility without the use of an RGB colour filter, thanks to the deposition technology employed. This feature simplifies usage and reduces stress on the eyes, providing a clear view within the rangefinder’s display.

Equipped with premium optics, the Zoom OLED Pro offers exceptional clarity coupled with 6-times magnification. Reading distances becomes a breeze, allowing for precise shot planning and execution.

The OLED Pro excels in delivering fast and accurate results, whether flagpole scanning or utilizing the target vibration mode. With an impressive accuracy of +/- 0.5 meters, this rangefinder ensures you get reliable distance measurements swiftly, contributing to improved on-course decision-making.

Adding versatility to its functionality, the Zoom OLED Pro provides both straight distance and slope-adjusted values. This feature caters to golfers who appreciate the convenience of having slope-adjusted distances when tackling varying elevations on the course.

In conclusion, the Zoom OLED Pro Rangefinder stands out as a remarkable device that seamlessly blends elegance, advanced technology, and affordability. Its premium appearance, feel, and features make it a top contender in the mid-tier pricing bracket, offering golfers a taste of luxury without breaking the bank. With the OLED Pro, Zoom has successfully redefined expectations for what a rangefinder in this price range can achieve.
