When I was looking for a good range finder for my favorite hobby, I came across this beautiful product and am now reporting on a week's experience. -Packaging, optics, first impression- A handy package with enclosed branded battery, a few tees, cleaning cloth, instructions, loop for attachment and a nice hard-shell case with belt loops for safe storage. The device's colors are so vibrant that I can safely ignore my innate talent for losing new stuff. I think I can find the range finder in every green. Due to the completely rubberized surface, the Birdie fits perfectly in your hand and stays there. -Use- Thanks to the included battery, I was able to get started immediately, I always like to ignore the instructions for the time being. With only 2 buttons, the device can be easily operated and switched through all modes and settings. The various crosshairs can be read clearly and the other displays are clearly visible but not arranged in a disruptive manner. Unfortunately, we did not have a second laser to check the displayed values. Instead, we compared the values with GPS and Google Maps - amazingly precise! FlagFinder with vibration and the SLOPE function can be switched on and off individually and work just as well. -Conclusion- For the price I expected middle class, but got upper class! In my opinion, the Birdie is in no way inferior to more expensive models. From now on it will never leave my belt.
