Melville, NY (October 6, 2016) – Nikon Sport Optics has officially announced the release of a revolutionary new product – the world’s first laser rangefinder to compensate for the human body’s physical inability to be completely still: the MONARCH 7i VR Laser Rangefinder. Featuring Nikon’s optical VR (Vibration Reduction) Technology, the MONARCH 7i VR is the world’s first* laser rangefinder to integrate this type of system.The VR Technology reduces the effect of external vibrations caused by unnecessary hand movements while ranging distant objects.
