Forestry 550
The Ultimate Multi-Tasker
The Forestry 550 offers optimized angle compensation technology for forestry and birding use. Birders and researchers use the Forestry 550 for distance sampling, nest searching, and habitat assesment when researching the density of local breeding birds.
Nikon Forestry 550 Laser Rangefinder has a high-eyepoint design that allows easy viewing even with eyeglasses. In addition to actual distance measurement, height, vertical 
separation (difference in height between two targets), horizontal distance and angle can be easily measured with this Nikon rangefinder. The results are displayed on both the internal and external LCD panels of the rangefinder. The external LCD panel displays all results simultaneously. The Forestry 550 Series from Nikon features two measurement modes (Target Priority Switch System):
- First Target Priority Mode displays the range to the nearest target taken from multiple results obtained with a single measurement.
- Distant Target Priority Mode displays the range to the farthest target taken from multiple results obtained with a single measurement - especially useful for forestry and hunting.
High quality 6x monocular with multilayer coating produces bright images. This rangefinder is waterproof (up to 1 meter for 10 minutes) but not for underwater usage. The battery chamber is water resistant. The ranger is capable of measuring different distances in succession, for up to 20 seconds, when the button is held down. Measurement range: 10-500 m/11-550 yd.
