Performance
The compact rangefinder comes with some of the most popular technologies we have seen from TecTecTEC. It uses the laser to cover a distance of up to 540 yards. This is quite remarkable for such an affordable product. Since it covers this distance it might be a good alternative for players on new courses which need thorough readings to fully grasp the distances.
The rangefinder also comes with the Pinsensor technology. It uses some of the simplest yet up to date technologies to determine overlapping subjects. It also works great to determine the subject with little room for errors since it comes with 1-yard accuracy.
The VPRO 500 comes with Through the Lens display which makes data reading easy and handy. The multi-layered optics has enough room to display data on distance, battery life, continuous measurement etc.
Design
The compact design is perfect for players looking for a small yet powerful performer. At 185 grams the rangefinder is far from heavy and can be easily handled with one hand. TecTecTec also did a great job on the design of the grip, which combined with the optics design makes for a modern product with industrial inserts. It is one of the best looking alternatives on the market and will work for players who put special emphasis on the design, besides the performance.
The design of the rangefinder is complete with a quality pouch. The pouch contains a cleaning cloth which will prove useful to maintain optimum optics cleanliness. The pouch also comes with a CR2 battery. These types of batteries are known for their long-life capabilities.
The TecTecTec VPRO500 Golf Rangefinder is among the most affordable and stylish products on the market. It is designed with care and brings an element of freshness to the rangefinders` niche. In terms of performance, the rangefinder offers a good laser range which can go as high as 540 yards. It makes it one of the best in this aspect, giving the range is slightly above the average market values.
With an affordable price, the rangefinder comes with some of the latest technologies for overlapping subjects. It also delivers decent accuracy within the 1-yard range. At 185 grams, the rangefinder comes in a lightweight package.
One of the drawbacks of the rangefinder is the limited performance on slopes. Some players would like to have the option of turning this technology on and off to abide USGA regulations. But if you don`t need this technology, the VPRO500 is among the top choices today.
