The Mileseey IONME2 rangefinder is a pocket-sized laser with a full suite of premium features. PinPoint Green Mode could speed up play and improve your putting, if used correctly.
Introduction
The first Mileseey golf rangefinder that came across our radar was the tiny PF1 [review HERE]. The company is doubling down on compact lasers with their latest, the Mileseey IONME2. This fully-featured model is small enough to fit in your pocket, but it has enough bells and whistles to stand next to the top of the line rangefinders.
Set Up & Ease of Use
Like most rangefinders, the Mileseey IONME2 has two buttons on the top. They’re labeled with a red triangle and a white circle, not the typical “Power” and “Mode.” The button closer to your eye is the power button, so it’s intuitive to use despite the unusual markings. The basic functions are also the same as other rangefinders – the first push turns the unit on, the second gets your distance.
As you can see below, there’s a USB port on the back of the IONME2 that powers the rechargeable battery. Mileseey includes the required cable with purchase. I could not find a specific claim about battery life, but there is a battery life indicator in the viewfinder, and it remained at “Full” after several hundred activations.
There are three modes on the Mileseey IONME2, and you cycle through them with the white circle button. The display does an excellent job making clear which mode you’re in – there’s a flag for “normal” operations, a green for PinPoint Green Mode, and a triangular diagram for Coach Mode.
Finally, you get to the menus by holding the white circle button. There are six settings: slope on/off, brightness, rain/fog mode, vibration, yards/meters, and your height for PinPoint Green Mode. With the exception of competitive players turning slope on and off, most golfers will set these once and never touch them again.
Accuracy & Features
Despite its small size, the Mileseey IONME2 has a comprehensive list of features. But before we dive into that, let’s address the basics of accuracy and speed. This laser is on par with the fastest that I’ve tested. The moment your finger leaves the button, the distance appears on the screen. Its accuracy is also excellent, matching several other trusted rangefinders.
Moving to the features and modes, the standout for the pocket-size IONME2 is the PinPoint Green Mode. This is something that we first saw on the Mileseey GenePro S1 [review HERE], but that’s a full-sized rangefinder which makes the putting feature less useful. The IONME2 can more easily accompany you to the putting surface where the PinPoint Green Mode promises accuracy within 1 cm of distance and 1 degree of slope. As with the GenePro S1, I wish the height inputs were more precise – they operate in 4″ increments.
This seems like a good time to discuss the size of the Mileseey IONME2. The rangefinder is just over 1.75″ tall, 1.25″ thick, and 3.75″ long. It weighs just over 6 ounces on its own, a bit over 8 with the holster (above). It can easily sit in your pocket throughout the round. While I like the clip-on holster, it sticks out too far to be wearable on either hip. If you want to have the holster on throughout the round, it needs to be closer to your back pocket, which only works if you’re walking.
Another mode that carried over from the GenePro S1 is Coach Mode. Other rangefinders call this Ball to Pin measurement, but, by any name, it’s the ability to stand at point A and measure the distance from point B to point C. This is great for cart path only days, giving yardages to other players, or finding a distance if something is blocking your view. Coach Mode is very easy to use, with clear “instructions” and distance display.
Finally, the Mileseey IONME2 is also strong in “standard” Pin-Seeking Mode. It has 6X magnification and a flag lock range of 500 yards – both on par with the best rangefinders available. Mileseey also states that it can differentiate the flag from background objects that are only 5 yards away – three yards better than the more expensive Bushnell X3 [review HERE].
Rounding out the features of the Mileseey IONME2 rangefinder are the brilliant red and green display, the built-in magnet, and the IP65 waterproofing. IP65 means that this laser is safe against water jets from any direction and rain, but it’s not guaranteed against full submersion.
Value
The Mileseey IONME2 retails for $399. Please support Plugged In Golf by buying it HERE.
Within the Mileseey family, the IONME2 rangefinder is a great deal. It has almost all of the features of the GenePro S1 at half the price. Looking to the larger rangefinder landscape, the IONME2 is still a strong value, especially if you like the smaller size. The only comparable choice is the Voice Caddie Laser FIT which you can get HERE for $179, but it lacks PinPoint Green Mode.
Conclusion
The Mileseey IONME2 rangefinder shows that good things can come in small packages. This laser packs three useful modes into a unit roughly the size of a sleeve of golf balls. If you’re a walker trying to cut weight from your rig or you want to get more precise on the green, the IONME2 is worth a serious look.
