Nikon introduces new Forestry Pro II portable laser rangefinder with enhanced features. New device is an upgrade to the Forestry Pro rangefinder, which has proven itself in wooded areas.
Forestry Pro II offers higher accuracy and speed of response with an extended maximum measurement range of 7.5 m to 1600 m. Thanks to HYPER READ technology, results are now shown on the inner display in approx. 0.3 seconds. Meter measures real distance, horizontal distance, height, angle and vertical interval – the difference in height between two objects. If the base and top of the object are visible, a two-point measurement is used. If the base and/or top of the object is not visible, three-point measurement provides an accurate estimate.
Results are also shown on an external display with an extended measuring range of 4.3 cm 1.7 in to 5.3 cm 2.1 in . External display now has three brightness levels for easy measurement and viewing in the woods, even in total darkness. New logging feature lets you store up to 250 measurement results, which are displayed in order on the backlit, external display. No more stopping and writing down results, so you can take more measurements in less time.

This sounds like an interesting product! I’m curious to know, what are the specific features and improvements that set Nikon’s Forestry Pro II laser rangefinder apart from its predecessor? Does it offer better accuracy and ease of use, and how does it enhance the measuring capabilities for forestry professionals?
