attaching range finder to pack

I'm not sold on it yet but I have an Alaskan Guide Creations bino harness and I glued some neodymium magnets inside the pocket and put one on my rangefinder with camo duct tape holding it on my RF. I put the RF cord around my neck or thru a strap of the bino harness and the magnets hold it in place from bouncing around. This will be my first season trying this.

That is very similar to the Horn Hunter Bino Hub. I have found it works really well. Be careful though, I have noticed sometimes it is a little loud taking off/putting on the range finder. The bino Hub also has a bungee cord and hook on the bottom of the case to have a more secure attachment for the rangefinder.

I agree, if not careful, the magnets can be noisy. One reason I'm not sold on it but have got pretty good about how I pull it off and put it back on. Not prefect though.
 
IMO you are better off keeping it on your person than on your pack, as described above.

I have found a loop of cord that is just large enough to allow it to fit over your head is the simplest and most reliable way to carry a RF. It results in the least amount of movement to raise/lower when using the unit (good for bowhunters), you won't set down/accidentally drop/lose your RF, you won't accidentally leave it with your pack, it generally won't interefere with other gear, you can keep the RF from bouncing around if need be by slipping under the strap of your bino harness - and best of all is you probably already have the material sitting in your garage and it takes about 2 minutes to make. This method doesn't seem "gadgety" enough for many guys - but it works great.
I tried this idea and used a cord with a little bit of elasticity. I adjusted the length so it had just enough length to reach my eye. Seems to work great and this is what I'm going with for my archery elk hunt this year. Thanks for all the ideas guys!
 
I have an S4 tether system that I did not care for at all. I removed the tether from the clip and then attached just the clip to my rangefinder. I just clip it to the chest strap on the inside of my kuiu bino harness. Pretty much the same thing as the clips being talked about in earlier posts.
