Golf Rangefinder FAQ
Why should I choose a Mantis Golf Rangefinder?
Our favourite question! The Mantis Golf Rangefinder combines accuracy and affordability - and looks good while doing it. If you're looking for an affordable golf rangefinder in New Zealand that doesn't compromise on performance, you've found it!
Just how accurate is it?
The Mantis golf rangefinder is accurate to within +/-0.5m so you can be confident when reading out on the course.
Does it have a slope mode?
Sure does. The Mantis Golf Rangefinder has a built-in slope mode and lets you switch between standard and slope mode with the touch of a button.
Does the Mantis Golf Rangefinder lock onto the flag?
Yes. The Mantis Golf Rangefinder features fast flag lock with pulse vibration, giving you confirmation when you've locked onto the flag or another target.
Does the Mantis rangefinder measure in metres or yards?
Both! You can easily switch between metres, yards, or even feet by pressing the power and mode button together for 2 seconds.
What kind of battery does the Mantis Golf Rangefinder use?
The Mantis features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a USB charging cable. No replacement batteries needed - just recharge your Mantis Golf Rangefinder and you're ready to go. Each charge lasts for dozens of rounds.
Is the Mantis Golf rangefinder weather-resistant?
Yes. The Mantis is built with an IP54 rating which means it is both dust and water-resistant. It is protected from splashes or if you get caught in light rain but not classed as completely waterproof - so please don't drop it in the course lake!
What makes your rangefinders convenient on the course?
Where to begin! Our rangefinders may be compact, but they’re big on performance and convenience. The sleek, lightweight body features a built-in magnet so you can securely attach it to your golf cart, while the included carry case with carabiner easily clips to your bag. An LED screen clearly displays distance readings for up to 30 seconds, and fast flag lock with pulse vibration ensures you never miss your target. Add 6x magnification, and you’ve got a rangefinder that delivers precision, speed, and ease - without the premium price tag.
Can anyone use a rangefinder?
Yes! Golf rangefinders aren't just for pros - they help anyone who wants to improve their accuracy on the course. They're simple to use and make a big difference to your game.

We love our range finder and know that you will too! But you can rest assured that if anything were to go wrong, you're backed by a 12-month replacement warranty.
