Best Laser Distant Meters - Leica Disto D8 Review

Leica Disto D8 currenlty holds the title of the world's most skilled laser distance meter with lots of unbeatable features. While the new diamond of Leica company provides all the angle and distance measurements known to engineering world to the professional people, even less experienced people can utilize the benefits.

I will start with an amazing feature where most of Leica Disto D8's competitors fail in aspect to both number of needed calculations and speed. How would you determine the length of this sloping distance shown below?

Leica Disto D8 with the combination of 360 degree tilt sensor angle combination and accurate distant measurement will show you slope, height and all angles in easy two steps targeting. What if you need to measure multiple heights with many slopes like the image below? 

It is also an easy task. Just determining a referential known distance and targeting different sections will calculate each section like this.

Then, you can send all the information to tools like MS Excel, Word, AutoCad etc wirelessly using bluetooth technology on PCs, laptops or pocket PCs. Bluetooth auto data transfer is a safe way to prevent manually written data errors and speed ups the all process. If the target is so distant that you can't determine the laser point with eyes, use 4X digital pointfinder zoom feature on the 2.4 inch colour screen.

Another advantage is that Leica Disto D8 distance meter can measure up to 200 meter (650ft) horizontal distance even there are obstacles by help of reference points and angle calculations. Accuracy rate is so high ± 1.0 mm. There are supported builtin functions like Trapezium, LR Mode, Triangulation calculations, single double Pythagoras functions.

Using dimensioning programs like miniPlan you can take the most power from this device. The data which is submitted wirelessly can be used to get blueprint 2D plans and even volumes. By addition of a tripod, Leica Disto D8 Laser distance finder becomes one of the most powerful tools for error-free engineering. I should conclude that it is a highly priced device, but it will compensate itself if you repetadly do such distance and angle calculations in the long run.
