Cobalt Launches Q-Z6 Rangefinder Featuring 6x–12x Optical Zoom
The Q-Z6 is the first laser rangefinder to combine adjustable optical zoom with slope-compensated precision for confident yardages shot after shot
LANDER, Wyo. (Jan. 22, 2026) – Today, Cobalt announces the launch of the Q-Z6 rangefinder, a premium laser rangefinder that introduces adjustable 6x–12x optical zoom, a first in the golf category. Designed and built for golfers who prioritize precision, consistency and performance, the Q-Z6 delivers enhanced visual clarity and confident distance measurements shot after shot.
Unlike traditional rangefinders locked into fixed magnification, the Q-Z6 empowers golfers to fine-tune their view based on distance and target conditions. This variable zoom capability transforms the rangefinder into a dual-purpose tool, combining elite distance measurement with the functionality of a high-performance monocular.
Built on the same proven platform as Cobalt’s flagship Q-6, the Q-Z6 features a premium optical system, Brilliant Projection Display, fully adjustable diopter and a rugged magnesium chassis with IPX7-rated waterproof aluminum housing. A powerful N48 neodymium side magnet provides secure cart mounting and easy access during play.
For golfers who demand precision, the Q-Z6 delivers advanced distance measurement with confidence. Slope compensation provides elevation-adjusted yardages, while Cobalt’s proprietary PinSense™ and Surge™ technologies make locking onto the flag fast and reliable. PinSense filters background interference to isolate the target and Surge delivers a subtle vibration the moment lock and distance are confirmed.
“The Q-Z6 is more than just a rangefinder, it is a tool that gives golfers the confidence to make the right choice when it comes to shot selection and distances,” said Brendon Weaver, Co-Founder and Head of Design & Marketing for Cobalt. “The ground-breaking zoom feature allows players to truly see the course and know what’s in front of them to play their best golf.”
With total performance ranging from 5 to 2,500 yards, including 600+ yards to the pin and 2,000 yards to trees, the Q-Z6 is built for golfers who prioritize accuracy, consistency and trust in their equipment. Backed by Cobalt’s lifetime warranty and sold direct-to-consumer with no retail markup, the Q-Z6 reflects the brand’s ongoing commitment to delivering uncompromising performance and long-term value.
For players who want their rangefinder to perform with the same consistency they demand from their swing, the Cobalt Q-Z6 sets a new standard for rangefinder performance. The Q-Z6 is available now for $595. To learn more please visit cobalt-golf.com or follow on social @cobaltgolf.
