Lidar - How is this device against Lidar? That since it is a large investment.

Doesn´t work. Dont waste your money. My Valentine is out of service, in a box.Laser guns has a very narrow ray pointed directly to the plate. The radar detector can´t get it.

LIDAR detection is excellent, plus the device identifies whether the laser gun is ahead of you or behind you. Tip: keep at least one car ahead of you in city driving. The V1 will report LIDAR used against the car(s) ahead of you so you can react. I was the lead car from a traffic light and got caught by LIDAR, and there was no escape from that one.

Yes it is, but I am still testing it as I find either the sensor's or light source is not even on the image scanned. It was alright at first but getting poor with usage. The 22 MP setting did not show good results either. Hope someone else can verify.

If you are in bright areas and/or measuring over long distancesyou will not bevery successful with this device. It states it is for indoor use, best spend a bit more and get the results you want. We have this and a Disto D5, older version model, it works great outdoors and indoors.

Im guessing L for Lucid. These arent worth anything over $100. There are better for less, like sightmark.

I have a couple of friends that have more expensive Bushnell Rangefinders. I am always checking my rangefinder against their more expensive range finders and the Bushnell Medalist Laser is right on with theirs.

In the research I have done, the 500 is much more powerful. It is the one used by the military for sighting in there rifles. Having used this laser now, I love it. I don't though know how the $99 works. I think with any SiteLite though, you are getting the best laser boresighter.

i bought my stuff from the local hobby shop which is probably more than online prices, but i had no idea what i was doing so i needed their advise. the transmitter is the most expensive. I haven't purchased one yet but a good digital one that you can use for multiple aircraft is approx $250. i spent $30 on the micro servos to operate the control surfaces. ~$50 on speed control. ~$50 on engine. $30 on the receiver. ~$3 on a propeller. ~$20 on the battery. That's all i can think of right now. It is a nice kit though. It looks fantastic and is super light. I haven't had opportunity to fly it yet, but it is a nice display piece in the interim.

For what this one cost I would say this is a great one for hiking. I use it for hunting myself, it keeps track of how far you have walked the path you traveled and it has a lot of extra uses. the topographical map is also great. If you know how to read the topographic part of it you know where cliffs and major hills are. All in All I love it. the only 2 suggestions I would offer to you is get the carry case that is made for it (It has a spot for extra batts) and take extra batts. It seems to not use them too fast however better safe than sorry. I hope this helped you.

This is a good one to use, but may require a little research on specifics of function. I have enjoyed using mine. It is actually not intended for beginners, but it is a nice device.

Hello,This would be a good unit for ranging without a laser. With some practice you should be able to range from point blank to hundreds of yards. -Derek

I have used mine up to 150 ft with no problem, I would highly recommend that you get the laser detector to go with it though. It gets hard to see the laser the farther you get but with the laser detector it is easy!

Yes. It I would think one could get a laser pointer that would be less expensive than this controller.

I just took a road trip and I was lasered. Unfortunately for any radar detector, laser means they just got your speed. I can say it's able to detect the radar over a mile away. It's great.

This would be the best rangefinder mono there is for the price. The ranging is dead on compared with my laser rangefinder. It's not as easy or as quick to rang as a laser rangefinder, because you do need to hold this absolutely still, on a solid platform or against a tree or something. With laser, you can just hold it free handed. But the Vertex has much more magnification than my 4X laser rangefinder, and this thing is built like a tank. You don't have to baby it as carefully as with a laser rangefinder. All in all, this is a great pc of equipment at a great price. I would toss my laser rangefinder any day, but I'll keep this, if that says anything! This would be the best rangefinder mono there is for the price.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this Item. It does not stay in focus. For example: When you put it to your eye and focus it in, then lower it down to walk some and bring it back up to your eye, you have to refocus it. Constantly. It is very annoying. I have used it to locate hogs I have killed as it does make it easier you just have to worry about the thickness of the area your in. If the IR beam hits a branch, tree or thick brush that you are close too it just blurs out. It useful ness is better in a more open space.

I bought the max. it has gps, so there is a memory feature on where the red light cameras and other fixed speed traps are, which has proven very useful. it has a broad range of bands. I have had it for 6 months and it has found the police on many occasions. No tickets. It does pick up laser, but I've read that because of the narrowness of the beam the warning basically says "you just got a ticket". I have been very satisfied with the Max.

Nothing impressive to be honest I'm really unhappy with my purchase I mean the light was visible during the day but I reccomend not buying this I ended up buying a Beltec and have been blown away with it ever since I first bought it I can honestly say it has saved me from a lot of tickets (used with stryker laser jammer) good luck with your choice.
