What 6x means on the course
The COOLSHOT 50i GII uses 6x optics, the most common fixed magnification in this rangefinder set.
Eye relief is 17 mm, close to the middle of the published values in this dataset.
Target confirmation is listed as DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE visual + vibration, adding feedback once the laser acquires the intended target.
Published ranging accuracy is ±1 yd under 100 yd; ±2 yd 100-<1000 yd; ±0.5% at 1000+ yd yd where that figure is expressed numerically; this is separate from magnification.
How large does the target appear?
These are approximate angular-size comparisons to help visualize magnification. They are not laser-range or accuracy claims.
How its magnification compares
This comparison is only against the models in this rangefinder dataset; it is not an industry-wide ranking.
Lens, eye relief and display
The objective lens diameter is 22 mm. Objective size is one part of the optical design; coatings, transmission and ambient light also affect the view.
Exit pupil is published at 3.7 mm. This page uses the published/source value rather than calculating one from other specs.
Eye relief is 17 mm, which is mid-range among the models here with published eye-relief data.
The COOLSHOT 50i GII uses a LCD display. Display readability affects how quickly you can interpret the measurement, but it does not change target enlargement.
Field of view at golf distances
A dependable field-of-view figure is not published for this model, so one is not inferred from magnification alone.
Steadiness, scan mode and target lock
6x gives substantial enlargement without the extra shake sensitivity of the highest-magnification models.
DUAL LOCKED ON QUAKE visual + vibration is the model’s target-acquisition feedback. It helps confirm lock-on but does not increase the optical magnification.
Can you zoom the COOLSHOT 50i GII?
No variable optical zoom range is listed. The COOLSHOT 50i GII is a fixed 6x optic. Any eyepiece or diopter adjustment changes focus for your eye, not magnification.
Who is this optical setup best suited to?
A strong all-round optical setup for golfers who want useful enlargement without moving into very high magnification.
Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII magnification FAQ
What magnification is the Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII?
The Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII has 6x fixed magnification. A target appears about 6 times as large in angular size as it does to the unaided eye.
Can you zoom the Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII?
No variable optical zoom range is listed. The COOLSHOT 50i GII is a fixed 6x optic. Any eyepiece or diopter adjustment changes focus for your eye, not magnification.
Is 6x enough magnification for golf?
6x provides meaningful target enlargement. More magnification is not automatically better because it also makes normal hand movement more visible.
Does magnification change the Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII’s laser accuracy?
No. Magnification changes how large the target looks through the optic. It can make aiming easier, but it does not itself change the laser’s published ranging accuracy.
What is the Nikon COOLSHOT 50i GII eye relief?
Eye relief is listed at 17 mm. That is the approximate distance behind the eyepiece from which the intended field of view can be seen.
