Marnie7 0 #1 November 4, 2006 Could anyone tell me which is better for BASE jumping, the Bushnell Yardage Pro Sport 450 Laser Rangefinder or the Bushnell Laser Rangefinder Yardage Pro 1000? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katzurki 0 #2 November 4, 2006 I'd go with whichever was smaller and/or cheaper, provided either has an accuracy tolerance of 1 meter at maximum. The only gripe I have about my BYP Compact 600 model is that it's not compact enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NSEMN8R 0 #3 November 4, 2006 I have the Yardage Pro Scout. I've been very happy with it. Very light and compact. The only problem with it is there's no backlight so it's kind of a pain in the ass to use in the dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eb66to77 0 #4 November 4, 2006 the lumiated one. Ensure it is lit inside or you'll have to be quick to pan over to a light or ? of the object. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Naptown 0 #7 November 4, 2006 I wish mine had the light but you can still get by with out it. After lasering something the number stays there for a few seconds, then you can look at a light source such as a distant street light, the moon, a tower light, etc.... and you will be able to read the number.
