Nikon Laser Rangefinder COOLSHOT AS announced

Are you an avid golfer who would love to have the chance to improve your golfing skills? If you have answered in the affirmative, and yet do not have the kind of monetary resources to hire the likes of a professional golfer to give you some tips, resigning you to depend on online pages as well as glossy golf magazines, perhaps having an electronic tool to help you out might work. I am referring to the Nikon Laser Rangefinder COOLSHOT AS that will continue to expand Nikon's COOLSHOT Laser Rangefinder series.

This particular rangefinder is based on the COOLSHOT that was rolled out in March last year, and back then, that was considered to be the standard model for actual distance measuring, where it incorporates ID Technology so that its Golf Mode is made capable of displaying slope adjusted distance (horizontal distance ± height), enabling golfers who are on a sloping course to gauge more accurately than ever before the distance and how much power they should put into their next shot.

The Nikon Laser Rangefinder COOLSHOT AS comes across as a new, sporty and compact model that will make use of ID Technology, enabling the selection of four measurement display modes and shows off the height, horizontal distance and slope adjusted distance (horizontal distance ± height) in addition to actual distance.

Features of the COOLSHOT AS include a high-performance, multilayer-coated 6x viewfinder and a generous, easy-to-view eyepiece with long eye relief, which works great to allow the user to locate a small target easily in a bright and wide field of view.

It is a snap to switch between First Target Priority and Distant Target Priority modes, where the former will let you measure the distance to a flagstick in front of a bush, all without having to confuse yourself between the target and the background. Not only that, there is continuous measurement for up to approximately 8 seconds, while holding down the POWER ON/Measurement button.

Sure it is waterproof (up to 1m/3.3 ft. for 10 minutes), but that works great only when it rains, and not for you to bring on your scuba diving trip for some underwater golf – assuming such a thing is even possible in the future.

Sprint announces Kyocera Torque

The Kyocera Torque is definitely a smartphone that you might want to bring with you wherever you go, especially when you tend to go on a whole lot of outdoor trips. The reason we say this is, Sprint's Kyocera Torque holds the honor of being the first ultra-rugged 4G LTE Android-powered smartphone that comes complete with Sprint Direct Connect and Smart Sonic Receiver Audio technology, allowing it to handle drops, dunks, and spills this coming March 8th, going for just $99.99.

In fact, Bear Grylls, the ultimate adventurer and fun-loving dude who loves to live it out in the wild, is the perfect example to parade the Kyocera Torque, as both of them are more than capable of surviving in the extremes, while working just fine in everyday life to boot.

The ultra-rugged, 4G LTE Android smartphone will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, sport up to 18.9 hours of talk time, and of course, with Sprint's Truly Unlimited 4G LTE data, text and calling to any mobile device, you are not limited to metering, throttling, and overages, now how about that?

The Kyocera Torque was specially built to Military Standard 810G, allowing it to withstand dust, shock, vibration, solar radiation, humidity, blowing rain, low pressure, salt fog and extreme temperatures, in addition to IP67 standards for dust, sprayed water and full immersion of up to one meter deep for up to half an hour. There is also the Sprint Direct Connect push-to-talk service, and is America's first device to include Kyocera's award-winning new Smart Sonic Receiver technology.

David Owens, vice president-Product Development, Sprint, said, "The durability and sound quality of Torque are amazing for a 4G LTE smartphone. Whether you're on a construction site, an outdoor adventurer or a mom that worries about their kids breaking their phone, Torque can hold up to those drops, spills or dunks. With Sprint's 4G LTE network and truly unlimited 4G data, text and calling plans, it's a tremendous offer for business customers, busy kids and adventurers alike."
