When it comes to distance measuring devices, you're either on team rangefinder or team GPS, and to be fair, there really is no wrong team to be on. It just comes down to personal preference and how you like to analyze the course around you.
Personally, I'm on team rangefinder because I like to know accurate distances to flags and hazards, and worry less about everything else. This is why when I got my hands on the Cobalt Q-Z6 Slope, I was more than impressed by its design and function.

To be clear, rangefinder features across the board are all pretty basic. With higher price points come ultra-clear optics, better magnets, waterproof functionality, and, in most cases, 6X magnification. This is exactly where the Cobalt stands alone. Beyond all of the standard and upgraded features, like a simple on and off toggle for slope with a clear LED, the Q-Z6 Slope also comes with adjustable brightness and adjustable magnification up to 12X.

This adjustable magnification makes it easier than ever before to lock onto a target and help those getting use to a rangefinder for the first time spot the target faster and get a better idea of whats around the green.
So if you're a golfer looking for a rangefinder with more advanced magnification, easy to read optics and a lifetime warranty, you should lock in on the Cobalt Q-Z6 Slope.
