Newcon Optik is a world leader in the laser rangefinder field. Each of our highly ruggedized models utilizes advanced laser, electronic and optical technologies not only to measure distance, but to provide a variety of other geospatial target information.

In addition to having NATO target measurement ranges spanning 1,500 to 12,000 meters, many of our models can be used with our AndroidTM – based application, allowing for real-time target mapping and geospatial data communication via mobile phones and tablets.

Our rangefinder models have proven their value and functionality to many professional and recreational users. We cover the whole niche offering devices with rated distances from 1200 meters up to 25 kilometers. Sophisticated high-end models measure distance, speed, height, elevation, and azimuth angles and can export this data to a computer.
