Laser rangefinders has a number of quite different applications:
There are military devices which often allow one to measure over distances of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers for reconnaissance purposes.
They are used for geodetic measurements and on large construction sites.
There are devices for use in forestry, for example for making forest inventories. They can contain special optical filters for suppressing detrimental effects of leaves on measurements.
Different types of rangefinders are used for various industrial production processes and for civil engineering.
Some types of sports and hunting require distance measurements which can be done with relatively inexpensive consumer rangefinders.
