Rank #6 in Best Golf Rangefinders 2026: 10 Ranked, One Model Listed Twice
Focusinc G301 Laser Rangefinder 1200 Yards, USB-C, Magnetic
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Focusinc G301 is the sixth pick in this guide: a £64.99 laser rangefinder with a slope switch, 7x magnification and a built-in rechargeable battery, rated 4.8 out of 5 from 50 customer reviews.
The spec table is where this one gets interesting. Item weight is listed as 400 g. Five of the eight spec tables in this guide put the weight between 168 g and 181 g, and the G301's own bullet points describe a "lightweight and ergonomic design" that "fits comfortably in your hand" — a description and a spec figure that point in opposite directions. The same table also switches units: the measuring range is quoted as 5 to 1200 yards, while the accuracy figure is ±1 m "within 400 m", so the tightest accuracy statement covers roughly the first third of the range claimed. Note that 400 turns up twice here in two different units, which tells you nothing except that the listing was not written in one pass. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon product listing, not from any testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This golf rangefinder is easy to use and provides quick distance readings on the course. The 7x magnification offers a clear view of targets, while the flag lock vibration feature helps confirm measurements with confidence. The rechargeable battery is convenient and eliminates the need for disposable batteries. Its compact design fits comfortably in a golf bag and is easy to carry during a round. Overall, it's a practical accessory for golfers looking for reliable distance measurement and helpful course-management features.”
Verified purchase“Been using this for about a week now and genuinely impressed. The flag lock vibration actually works, it clicks and buzzes the moment it picks up the pin, even at distance. Slope mode is easy to toggle and the yardage adjustment is clear in the display. 7x magnification is sharp enough to pick out flags without squinting. Charges quickly via USB-C which beats faffing around with batteries mid-round. Build feels solid, not cheap plastic. Good buy at this price point.”
