I was really concerned about the magnet at first because of the terrain and ups and downs on the courses I tend to play...but I haven't had a single issue so far - not even sliding or moving at all.
Before I gave my other rangefinder to one of my sons I definitely shot flags, back to back, using the Anarch and my previous rangefinder and it was a struggle in that situation. I think I could eventually get used to going away from it again, but I believe it would take some time to readjust to no imagine stabilization. I wouldn't say I'm dependent on the image stabilization, but I think it's fair to say I've already found myself leaning into that feature a great deal.
No issues navigating the menu. Feels pretty intuitive, but simple instructions being included in the box is never a bad thing. So far, so good.
You read instructions? Who does that?
Yep! Whether I need them or not, lol. I'm the weirdo that will read through everything in the box.You read instructions? Who does that?
This is an area about which I was a bit nervous. One of my two courses doesn't have paved cart paths and they can be really rough in places. I've had the magnet turn loose and the unit fall to the ground on one occasion after hitting what felt like a sink hole. Initially, I found myself reaching up and grabbing the rangefinder when I knew I was about to drive over rough terrain, but I have seen enough from the magnet to trust it in most situations at this point. I've also used it on my Nitron push cart without any magnet issues.
I did not do that and once I figured it out its easy enough. I kept changing the brightness then going back to reticle.
Definitely could be easy to get "stuck" in a bit of a loop between those two settings.
That leads me to one aspect that we've sort of understated so far - the incredible durability these rangefinders appear to have...and they're backed up with the best warranty in the product space.
Excellent point. I happened to knock mine off the cart twice last weekend and it took a pretty good tumble. If it was any other rangefinder I might have been a bit concerned.
So I'm not the only one...lol. He doesn't even know it yet, but my Voice Caddie rangefinder is included in his birthday mystery box that he should receive today.
I did the same thing once, not even a mark - my Voice Caddie Laser Fit would have probably been destroyed...lol
Nope! After my second round with the Anarch I passed on my other to him. My initial experience was positive enough that I didn't hesitate.
That's exactly how I felt. I used it for one more round just for comparisons and then in the box it went.
I've had a couple instances where the PinSpotter would not lock on, but not many overall, really. The Blade Slope is also quick to pick up stuff in the background, which I imagine is mitigated by the image stabilization feature on the Anarch.
I always double or triple check because it’s so quick.. why not? Lol.
will be interested in your experience on this. Ive been thinking about getting a range finder and when I use my friends I feel its a bit shaky. Haven't tried one with stabilization yet, so wondering how much it would help.
The stabilization definitely makes a difference. My old NX7 does an okay job at picking things up, but I almost always have to shoot it a handful of times to make sure I get a good number, because sometimes it’ll pick up a few different things.
It’s crazy how much of a difference it makes
I can't wait to see image stabilization become an industry standard, I think it's such a great feature for a rangefinder to have.
