Rangefinder reviews: the axes that survive scrutiny
Board-level modules · published single-unit prices · figures verified 2026-10-23
Reviews usually rank by headline range. The four numbers that decide field performance are blind zone, stated target size, beam divergence and supply voltage.
The catalogue, with those numbers

Beam divergence is not published for every class; where it is not, ask for the datasheet rather than assuming a value.
What this page does not claim
It does not quote competitors' specifications from memory, and it publishes no number our catalogue does not carry. Where a figure matters and is unpublished, ask for the datasheet.
