A clear signal at the pin
DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE combines a red visual lock-on sign with vibration. First Target Priority helps distinguish the nearer target when the flagstick is measured against trees or other objects in the background.

Keep the next distance close.
The COOLSHOT 50i brings a practical cart-side rhythm to the round: retrieve it, measure and return it securely between shots. This is the original 50i, manufacturer part number 16760, with a 100 × 75 × 38 mm body and a 22 mm objective lens.

DESIGNED FOR YOUR GAME
Details that make the difference.
Elevation in the calculation
Slope mode provides uphill and downhill distance guidance for club selection. When the event requires actual distance only, switch slope off; a green external indicator shows that the setting has been changed.
Read beyond the flag
Use continuous scanning for up to approximately eight seconds to measure multiple points across the hole. The 6× view and red OLED readout support an orderly check of the pin, hazards and lay-up targets.
A CLOSER LOOK
Designed to stay within reach
The integrated magnet attaches the rangefinder to suitable metal on a golf cart, helping keep it accessible between measurements. Check that the attachment is secure before moving, because vibration or impact can dislodge the unit.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST ROUND
A little preparation goes a long way.
Check the magnetic safety warning
Nikon warns that people using medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers should not use this magnetic product. Read the manufacturer’s safety guidance before use.
Set up for the day
Select yards or meters, then choose slope-adjusted or actual-distance mode as appropriate. Check the event rules before competition rather than relying on the indicator alone.
Plan for showers
The original 50i is rainproof to an IPX4-equivalent rating. Keep it out of standing water and protect it from immersion when conditions turn wet.
