The Difference Between the PinSeeker 1500 & the 1600
- Pinseeker 1500 and 1600 laser rangefinders have similar physical features. Both rangefinders are 5.1 inches long, 3.7 inches wide and 1.7 inches tall. The Pinseeker 1500 weighs 10 ounces while the Pinkseeker 1600 weighs 12 ounces. These two models are fully waterproof, have an LCD display and require a 9-volt alkaline battery. A tripod mount is built into the hardware, enabling users to attach the Pinseeker to golf cart mounts, tripods and monopods. Both packages include a strap and a case.
- The Pinseeker 1500 and 1600 have nearly identical optical packages. These units have an eye relief of 0.75 inch and an exit pupil measuring 0.15 inch. The objective diameter for the rangefinders is 1.02 inches. A Pinseeker 1500 has a RainGuard, water-repelling coating that reduces fogging and condensation on the lenses. Pinseeker 1600 rangefinders feature Bushnell's RainGuard HD instead. Both Pinkseekers feature fully multi-coated optics to increase the quality of contrast, brightness and resolution.
- A Pinkseeker 1500 performs almost as well as a Pinseeker 1600. Both models are accurate to plus or minus a yard and have a field of view that is 340 feet wide at a distance of 1,000 yards. These two models have a maximum magnification of 7x. When measuring the distance of objects that reflect light well, the Pinseeker 1500 has a maximum range of 1,500 yards while the Pinseeker 1600 has a slightly longer maximum range of 1,600 yards. The majority of objects result in an operational range between 5 and 1,000 yards for the two devices.
- Pinseeker 1500 and 1600 rangefinders have identical features. The hardware has three selective targeting modes. Pinseeker mode assists golfers by focusing on the pin instead of background objects and a standard, automatic scan for other objects. Both units utilize Bushnell's Slope +/- system that displays the angle of a slope between -20 and 20 degrees at an accuracy of plus or minus one degree. These Pinseekers measure range in meters and yards. An active laser system helps the user aim the laser via crosshairs when the rangefinder is active.
