Leupold Gx-4i golf rangefinder is equipped with all the features of previous GX-series models like PinHunter, prism lock, scan mode, fog mode, TGR and club selector. The PinHunter with prism lock technology improves the preciseness and accuracy of the device and helps in minimising the time of the player in locking the target. Leupold GX-4i golf rangefinder is fully weather proof and also features a fog mode which enables getting fast and accurate measurements even during foggy conditions. The TGR feature makes the device compete with the popular Tour V3 slope edition of Bushnell brand. TGR calculates the line of sight distance taking into consideration the incline or decline towards the target on the course, current temperature and altitude, and displays the accurate adjusted range that the golfer should play. The Club Selector function complements the TGR function by providing the course details and features to help the golfer to decide upon the angle and distance of the shot considering the current environmental conditions and multiple other factors of the course.

Similar to Leupold GX 3i golf rangefinder, GX-4i is also made of Aerospace Grade aluminium and the rubber exterior for better grip of the device. In dimensions, GX-4i is a compact device measuring 4.1×2.9×1.3 inches and weighing 7.9 oz. The device is equipped with a CR-2 lithium battery which delivers a battery life of more than 4000 actuations.

Plus point, bracket circle and bracket circle duplex.
