Pinned “The Prism” Golf Rangefinder – The Most Feature-Packed Golf Rangefinder

The Pinned Rangefinder is known by many names. Some call it Pinned Rangefinder and some know it by the name of the latest model The Prism.

If you are looking to improve your game and become better at golf, then this rangefinder is perfect for you.

As an avid golfer, I have come across numerous rangefinders, but none have catered to the aesthetic needs of its users.

But that is not the case with The Prism. It comes in nine beautiful colors, has multiple distinguishing features, and is loved by many.

In this post, I will be sharing my in-depth take on this rangefinder and how was my experience in using it.

Let’s Begin.

Pinned Golf Rangefinder

Unboxing and First Impressions

I ordered the blue model, blue being my favorite color, and was amazed by the finish it arrived in.

As soon as the package arrived, I just couldn’t wait to get my hands on this device. I opened the box almost in a frenzy.

The rangefinder had a premium design finish. The buttons were really smooth to press and overall, the tool had a sleek and stunning appearance.

The tool arrived with a convenient storage case of the same color, blue. A lanyard was also included which is very thoughtful. A microfiber cloth was included that will help you keep the tool clean.

But wait! There is no battery. That’s a surprise, almost all manufacturers include batteries with their rangefinders.

Well, the real reason there is no battery is because this device comes with a built-in rechargeable battery. Yes, one that offers a long-lasting performance, but we will come to that later on.

An In-Depth Review of Pinned “The Prism” Rangefinder

Now that you are familiar with the basics, let me take you to a deep dive into the features of this amazing product.

Here we go:

Slope Technology

This rangefinder is equipped with slope technology which is a very rare feature to find at such a reasonable price.

Yes, there are many rangefinders in the market that offer slope functions, but this particular device offers it at a reasonable price.

Because of this, the Prism is considered the best rangefinder under $250 and is loved by many professional golfers.

The angle compensation will account for the declines and inclines in the landscape and provide you with accurate measurements.

For beginner and intermediate golfers who struggle with measurements that don’t account for slope, this feature can prove to be quite beneficial.

Tournament Legal

Not only does the device come with slope functionality but also an external slope switch that makes the device tournament legal.

I was absolutely amazed that this rangefinder would meet the features of a high-end 500-dollar rangefinder for less than half the price.

The slope button at the side makes the device tournament-legal and allows it to meet the USGA standards.

So, you can switch the slope function off and use the device in golf tours and tournaments officially.

Also, it will remove the need to get two separate rangefinders.

USB Type-C Rechargeable Battery

One of the most distinguishing features of this device that truly sets it apart from the rest of the rangefinders is the rechargeable battery.

• This laser rangefinder comes with a battery that promises a lifetime performance.
• You can charge the battery using the latest USB Type-C charger and get it to full charge in less than an hour.
• The battery promises long-lasting performance and won’t be running out anytime soon.
• During testing, the battery lasted for 70 cycles on a single charge, which is more than enough.
• Once I charge the device, I don’t have to worry about the charge running out in the next few games.
• However, as a precaution, I always charge the device before every game.
• The rechargeable battery truly removes the hassle of always keeping extra batteries and replacing them during the game.

High Accuracy

Despite being amazingly cost-efficient, the rangefinder provides high accuracy, down to the very last decimal.

It is truly a competitive device that comes with 7x magnification, while other rangefinders in similar price brackets only offer 6x.

In addition, the high accuracy will ensure accurate distance measurement each time.

You get an amazing 100-yard range, and you can change it into meters at the press of a single button at the top.

The convenient placement of the button allows you to use it instantly when operating the tool.

Built-In Magnet

The Pinned Rangefinder really puts the Bushnell rangefinders in a tough spot by offering the magnetic feature in their devices.

It is true that the Bushnell Magnetic Cart Mount is an innovative feature and beyond a doubt an exceptional one.

Other rangefinders come with an accessory known as the magnetic strap that compensates for this feature.

However, the Pinned Rangefinder offers the same feature but at a much lower price.

So, you can easily mount the rangefinder on the cart bar. The built-in magnet has a firm hold and won’t cause any problems.

Hence, you save money on external magnetic straps and get the feature at a much lower price compared to the Bushnell rangefinders.

Pinned Lock Vibration

Another premium feature that is rarely observed in low-cost or budget-friendly rangefinders is the surge or haptic response feature.

The feature in which you get vibration feedback from the device to confirm that the device has locked onto the flag pin or another object and is displaying the distance to it.

Basically, the purpose of this feature is to ensure to the user that the device is showing the distance to a particular object in sight, which in the case of golf is a flag pin, and not to some object in the background.

Featuring Pinned Lock Vibration, this rangefinder becomes one of the most premium choices for professional golfers.

Aesthetic Variety

I will say it again, even the most popular rangefinder brands do not pay any attention to the thirst for aesthetics. Many golfers do settle for any design and color available because they have no other choice.

But with Pinned Rangefinders, you don’t have to surrender your aesthetic sense. The device is available in 9 different colors, and you select the color you desire most.

But what good is a colored rangefinder if you still have to carry it in the same old dull carrying case?

The pinned Rangefinder brand takes care of that as well. The brand provides you with different colored carrying pouches that match the aesthetic appeal of the device itself.

So, you will have a stunning device with a classy case in the color of your choice.

Budget Friendly

Last but not least, one of the most prominent features that places this rangefinder in the top listings is the amazing price tag.

The device comes at a comparatively lower price and offers the most advanced features.

It really puts the competition to the test. Offering 7x zoom, slope function, and external slope switch at such a low price is truly amazing.

Also, you get a rechargeable battery with long-lasting capacity and even a built-in magnet for cart mounting. A perfect tool for cost-conscious users.

About the Company

Pinned Golf is today a renowned and reliable brand, but the company is not a very old one. It is a very recently founded company that has only one goal. “To Make Rangefinders More Affordable”.

Over the last 4-6 Years, they have introduced several models, and The Prism is the latest Pinned Golf rangefinder.

They currently have hundreds of thousands of happy customers. A bunch of college grads wanted to put a rangefinder in every golfer’s hand without them having to break the bank. Looks like they are achieving their goal.
