Thought I️ would post up my rangefinder tether project. I️’ve had both the FHF tether and the kuiu and found things I️ didn’t like in both of them. The FHF has a noisy quick release buckle that would rattle around and I️ didn’t like the clip the Kuiu used to attach to the rangefinder pouch.

I️ purchased a set of curly shoe laces, some crimp sleeve connectors and shrink tube from the hardware store. I️ already had a carabiner style clip and some high strength lanyard string from another lanyard.

End result is a secure, strong connection to the rangefinder case and a simple, quiet connection to the rangefinder.

Hope someone finds this useful.

Now I'm curious what it cost you... I had to close my eyes as I paid $12 for the FHF one, but I was too lazy to run down to Seattle Fabrics for the materials.

That looks slick.......I'm running an AGC bino harness and my Swaro 8x30 range finder is too big to fit in little front pouch so may need to run a setup like yours.

Spring clip: $0.25
Crimps: $0.20
Shoe lace:$1.75
Shrink tube: $0.10

I️ spent about $11 on material (4pack of laces and pack of 50 crimps). So, I️ didn’t really save much $$ but I️ got more of what wanted, plus enough extras to make a few more.

And making ur own gear is satisfying

Hi, many thank for share this, awesome thing. I think it’s really very useful for secure a rangefinder in a tough situation. Can you please mention the price…..

Thank you for sharing this, I’m going to have to make one like it for myself. It has always been sort of a problem area for me.

Never thought about the shoelaces. I made mine by pulling the outer layer of paracord over one of the clip on key lanyards from walmart.

Any suggestions on where to source the string you used on the end?

My version is pretty simple, maybe little more crude, but functions great. Used a shoe lace and a large snap swivel end. Then just tied small loop of d loop material to rangefinder. Super light and quiet.

I have used 85lbs braided fishing line and spectra bow string serving without ever having any issues.
