Key takeaways
- MGI's new PINLOC 7000 rangefinder family has three models: the 7000iM ($239), the 7000iPM ($285) and the 7000iPSM ($349).
- Only the top model, the 7000iPSM, includes an external side screen, a 1.69-inch display that shows yardage without lifting the device to your eye.
- None of the three models include slope measurement, a gap compared with some rivals at similar prices.
- All three share 6x magnification optics, pin-lock vibration confirmation on the two higher models and a PINLOC readout that holds yardage on screen for 15 seconds.
MGI, the Australian brand best known for electric trolleys and push carts, has released a three-model family of laser rangefinders for the 2026 season. The PINLOC 7000 line spans the entry-level 7000iM, the mid-tier 7000iPM and the 7000iPSM, MGI's first rangefinder with a built-in side screen.
The launch follows MGI's Sureshot SlimPRO, a compact laser that built a following after its 2025 debut. The PINLOC 7000 family widens that lineup into three price points rather than a single device, letting golfers choose how many features they want rather than committing to one spec level.
What are the differences between the three models?
The 7000iM is a pick-up-and-shoot device with no slope function and no pin-lock vibration. The 7000iPM adds pin-lock vibration, which confirms the flag has been locked onto once the correct distance is found. The 7000iPSM carries the same features as the 7000iPM and adds a 1.69-inch external display that shows the yardage on the side of the unit.
| Model | Price | Slope | Pin-lock vibration | Side screen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7000iM | $239 | No | No | No |
| 7000iPM | $285 | No | Yes | No |
| 7000iPSM | $349 | No | Yes | Yes (1.69") |
What features do all three share?
Every model in the family carries 6x magnification optics, a magnetic mount for attaching to a cart frame, a carry case and MGI's PINLOC display, which holds the measured yardage on screen for 15 seconds after a reading. All three also include a scan mode for reading distances to multiple points, such as bunkers and tree lines, in succession.
A side screen that shows the number without lifting the rangefinder to your eye solves a problem golfers didn't know they had.
None of the three models measure slope, a notable omission at these price points given that competitors such as the Blue Tees Captain Pro, Garmin Z10 and Bushnell Tour V7 Shift occupy similar territory. Reviewers have found the 7000iPSM's accuracy competitive with rangefinders priced well above it, and the line's simplicity has been received as a selling point for golfers who find feature-heavy devices overwhelming.
