Rank #1 in Best Golf Rangefinders 2026: 10 Ranked, One Model Listed Twice
REDTIGER Golf Laser Rangefinder 1200 Yards, Slope On/Off, 7x
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This is the REDTIGER C001, a rechargeable laser rangefinder with a slope on/off switch, a claimed 5-1200 yard measuring range, 7x magnification and a listed weight of 181 g. It takes the top spot in this guide, and it is one of the five spec tables here that agree on weight: 181 g is the top of the 168-181 g band we treat as normal for a pocket laser rangefinder, so there is nothing in this listing that needs explaining away.
What it also does not have is the problem running through the rest of the guide. The title, the bullets and the spec table all say 1200 yards, the price is £88.80, and the rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 6,743 Amazon ratings. The listing's own best sellers line puts it 3rd in Golf Rangefinders and 1,925th in Sports & Outdoors overall, so it is a popular model rather than an Amazon category leader, even though it leads ours. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing — the weights, the ranges, the price and the rating — and not from any testing of our own; we have not measured a unit.

Questions people ask
How much does the REDTIGER C001 weigh?
The listing gives the item weight as 181 g, with dimensions of 10.6 x 4.1 x 6 cm. That is the heaviest figure in the 168-181 g band that five of the eight spec tables in this guide fall into.
How far will the REDTIGER C001 measure?
REDTIGER claims 5-1200 yards, with accuracy quoted as ±0.5 yards and 7x magnification. The title, the bullets and the spec table all state 1200 yards, so the headline and the small print agree here.
Is the REDTIGER C001 legal for competition golf?
The listing says the slope switch turns slope correction off, which REDTIGER describes as legal for tournament play, and slope correction can be switched back on for practice rounds.
Does the REDTIGER C001 need batteries?
The listing says batteries are included and describes the battery as rechargeable, with USB-C charging at 5V/2A. One bullet also claims the port is good for "30000 times available", which the listing does not explain further.
How is the REDTIGER C001 rated by buyers?
The listing reports 4.5 out of 5 from 6,743 ratings. The star breakdown bars read 72, 17, 6, 1 and 4, which add up to exactly 100, so they read as percentages rather than counts.
What comes with the REDTIGER C001?
Included components are listed as the laser rangefinder and a portable soft case. The bullets add a magnetic strip for attaching it to clubs or a cart and a magnetic belt clip, and REDTIGER quotes a two-year unconditional warranty.
