The Gogogo Sport Vpro GS19W is the best cheap golf laser rangefinder with slope compensation, vibration confirmation after flag lock, and rechargeable built-in lithium battery. The Gogogo Sport Vpro GS19W is easy to use and it is an amazing value with a price under $100. It has the same quality as the Blue Tees Series 3 Max and Series 2 Pro.
It was released in March 2020. It has many fantastic features found in the best budget golf rangefinders including slope adjustment, vibration confirmation after flag lock, and a built-in USB rechargeable battery. It has a 6X magnification which is standard for all low cost golf rangefinders. If you want a rangefinder with a 7X magnification, you will have to either pay about $250 for the Blue Tees Series 3 Max, about $400 for the Callaway 400s, or about $500 for the Bushnell Pro XE.
However, the Gogogo Sport Vpro GS19W is missing some of the very best features found in the Callaway 300 Pro and Gogogo Sport Vpro GS24MTL including a built-in magnet and external on/off slope indicator. Fortunately, you can purchase a golf rangefinder with an internal magnet and external on/off slope indicator for less than $200 which is a really great deal.
Best Features
• Pinsensor technology allows you to lock onto a pin and to accurately measure overlapping subjects which is the same as the Pin Acquisition Technology (P.A.T.) of the Callaway 300 Pro, Pinseeker technology of the Bushnell Tour V5 and Pro XE and Target Acquisition Technology (TAG) of the Precision Pro NX9
• Vibrates automatically after the flag distance is locked which is the same as the Pulse Vibration Technology of the Precision Pro NX9 and Jolt vibration technology of the Bushnell Pro XE and Tour V5
• Slope adjustment technology will measure the angle of incline/decline for any uphill/downhill shots and compensate the straight line distance to the flag to give you the true distance
• Long press the Mode button to switch between yards and meters
• 3 Modes available – (1) Continuous Scan Mode, (2) Golf Mode and (3) Speed Mode.
• Continuous Scan Mode will give you continuous distance measurements on the LCD display as you hold down the power button and move the aiming reticle across the golf course. You cannot lock onto the flag with this mode.
• Golf mode will display the straight or uncompensated distance between you and the flag, slope-compensated distance, and angle of incline or decline. You can only lock onto the flag in this mode.
• Speed mode will give you the speed of any moving object
• Non-slip, ergonomic rubber design for a more secure grip around the device
• Built-in rechargeable battery – Instead of using CR2 batteries or an external 3.7V 900mah rechargeable lithium battery like many golf rangefinders, it uses a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion 3.7V 900mAh battery that you can recharge with your laptop or USB power bank. This is much better for the environment. You can take 3000 measurements with this battery before you have to recharge it.
• USB-A 2.0 to micro USB Male charger cable – Charge the internal rechargeable battery of this rangefinder by using this cable to connect a USB-A enabled devices, including laptops and power banks, to this micro USB enabled rangefinder.
• One-year warranty – If there are problems with your rangefinder within 1 year after the purchase date, they will either send you a replacement or give you a full refund.

| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • Great value for your money (price under $100 for slope compensation, vibration confirmation after flag lock, and internal rechargeable battery) • Maximum distance measurement distance to Flag: 170 yards • Maximum distance measurement to hazards: 5 to 900 yards • Vibrates after locking onto the flag • Rechargeable built-in battery (USB Charging; won’t have to buy anymore CR2 batteries) • Pinsensor technology will lock onto the flag by separating the flag from any background objects • Slope mode will display the degree of slope, slope-adjusted distance and straight-line distance to the flag • Speed mode • Much cheaper than the Bushnell rangefinders |
• Cannot lock onto flags without using slope compensation so this rangefinder is not tournament legal • No external slope on/off indicator • No built-in magnet like the Precison Pro NX9 and Bushnell Pro XE • Does not lock onto flags as fast as the Bushnell and Precison Pro rangefinders • Casing of the body is not as durable as those of the Bushnell rangefinders |
Final Verdict
The Gogogo Sport Vpro GS19W comes with a lot of great features for under $100 including slope compensation, vibration confirmation after locking onto the flag, and an internal rechargeable battery. It does not have the speed, precision, or quality of the Bushnell rangefinders. However, you can buy it for one-fifth the cost which makes it a great value for your money.
