The mode button, located nearer the lens, is used to adjust between displaying distances in meters or yards. A power/laser button is used to turn on the device and fire the laser. There are two buttons on the Callaway RAZR, both located on the top of the device. The battery indicator is shown in the lower right corner of the display. We would prefer that the distances be displayed a bit closer to the crosshairs and be repositioned below the crosshairs, as the continuous updating of distances can lead you to frequently darting your eyes back and forth between the crosshairs and the distance display. Although there is First Target Priority on the RAZR, the device will not stop updating distances when a target is acquired, but rather allows users to move between targets. The distance is continuously shown above the crosshair and updates at a steady rate as new distances are acquired. The crosshair is made up of 4 horizontal and vertical lines, with an opening at the center for aiming an additional 4 lines forming an “X” around the center will blink while the laser is firing and the user pans across targets. The LCD display shows the aiming crosshairs and distance reading in black. To use the RAZR laser rangefinder, just firmly press the power button to turn it on, then press it again to begin firing the laser. The RAZR LCD display features clear 6x magnification with a slight green tint, both standard on rangefinders these days, and a focusing diopter through an easy-to-turn eyepiece. But you can’t say Callway doesn’t give you options! We never used the device without the pouch, as that leaves you with no protection for the device, and also requires that you take the time to unclip and reclip the device with each use. In addition to attaching the pouch to a bag or cart with the included carabiner, you can also use the belt loop on the pouch, or the clip that can attach directly to the laser and then to the carabiner, avoiding the need for the pouch. The pouch is a bit too snug for our tastes, making it difficult to slide the laser in or out with just one hand, though the tradeoff is that when the RAZR is in the pouch, it isn’t going to fall out. The protective sleeve provides a snug fit around the RAZR to both protect and hold the device, and has a built-in magnet to keep the attached cover closed. The RAZR is, however, the lightest device in our tests, weighing in at 6.3 ounces on its own, or 8.5 ounces with the protective pouch and carabiner. It’s marketed as “shock resistant”, and although we didn’t perform any drop tests off of a moving cart on to concrete, the RAZR appears durable, and we’ll take their word for it.Ĭallaway has reduced the size of the RAZR from their prior generation rangefinder by 10%, down to 4.4″ x 1.6″ x 2.8″, making it the smallest in the Callaway lineup, but only average within the entire laser rangefinder field. The Callaway RAZR is a vertically-held laser rangefinder, with a grey, red and black elastomer (rubber) body, textured at the front half, with the body size and material easy to grip. The RAZR is slightly below average in cost across laser rangefinders that do not provide slope-adjusted distance information, but the slight discount isn’t enough to make us recommend this device. Why do we say “intended”? Because we found the RAZR to be one of the least sensitive among the laser rangefinders we have tested at picking out pins at near and far distances alike, necessitating firing only at the flag or, if visible, the base of the flagstick at the hole. The Callaway RAZR has First Target Priority mode (the equivalent of Bushnell’s PinSeeker or Leupold’s PinHunter), which is always on and is intended to pick up the nearest target in your line of sight. The laser will fire for 8 seconds when activated and provide continuous distance readings, the last of which remains displayed for 8 additional seconds after the laser is done firing. The device has a waterproof shell, and comes with a protective pouch to protect the lens and carabiner to clip the device to your bag. Keep in mind that the level of accuracy is more than likely +/- 1 yard (though not specified by Callaway). We do appreciate, however, the 0.1 yard incremental readings all the way to a maximum of 600 yards. The device offers the standard 6x magnification and focusing eyepiece.Īlthough the Callaway RAZR is marketed as providing faster readings, we didn’t notice an improvement over past Callaway laser rangefinders. The laser is 10% smaller than the prior generation, and ranks as the lightest laser in our tests (though not the smallest). The Callaway RAZR, manufactured by Nikon, offers some changes from its predecessor devices.
