Leica Disto D2
The smallest and lightest distance measuring laser on the market, the DISTO D2 is made to be portable. Thanks to its ergonomic and compact design with soft grip, the DISTO D2 sits securely in your hand, is lightweight and fits into any pocket.
The comprehensive measurement results are clearly displayed on three lines. Easily readable, even
in the dark, thanks to the illuminated display.
Minimum/maximum measurements, tracking and storage of results make your work easier and with a measuring range starting at 0.05m going up to 60m and an accuracy of +/-1.5 mm, the D2 ensures quick, accurate measurements on small or indoor job sites. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
Leica Disto DXT
The NEW DISTO DXT keeps the essential functions of the D2 but wraps it in a highly rugged, IP65, rubber casing. IP65 means the DXT is resistant to water jets and dust tight, so no matter where you use it, the DXT will keep working just as hard as you do.
Some improvements over the D2 include an auto-sensing end piece to make sure you are always taking measurements from the correct reference, and an additional 'room dimensions' function that automatically calculates perimeter as well as the standard area and volume.
Specifications are the same as the D2 but stretches the maximum range out to 70m. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
Leica Disto D3a
The NEW D3a is for anyone that demands accuracy and functionality. With a built in digital inclinometer, the D3a can perform complex trigonometric calculations so you don't have to. The abiltiy to read the inclination angle in real time means the D3a can be used as a digital laser level and ensures you are always getting the shortest distance between two points. The threaded brass camera mount allows mounting on a tripod.
The backlit keypad and screen ensures you can use it in dark, confined spaces such as roof cavities and underground sites.
Measuring range is 0.05m to 100m and accuracy is +/-1.0 mm, the D3a ensures quick, accurate measurements on medium job sites. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
Leica Disto D3abt
The NEW D3abt goes the extra mile and includes Bluetooth interfacing capabilities. Maintaining all the advanced features of the D3a, the addition of Bluetooth allows you to interface to a PDA or laptop to feed your measurements directly into a spreadsheet or cad package.
Leica's open interface protocol has created a large following of software developers with software designed for your particular industry, such as estate agency, carpeters and evaluators. Third party software can be found here.
Measuring range is 0.05m to 100m and accuracy is +/-1.0 mm, the D3abt ensures quick, accurate measurements on medium job sites. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
Leica Disto D5
The Disto D5 introduces a full colour display and 4x digital zoom function, essential for people who work outdoors in bright sunlight or need to cover large distances. The display allows you to measure over walls where you don't have line of sight. The colour display also makes it easier to read onscreen instructions.
If you regularly need to measure heights of buildings, trees or poles, the digital viewfinder with crosshair reticle will give you confidence that you are measuring to the correct point, no more second guessing, no more trial and error!
Measuring range is 0.05m to 200m and accuracy is +/-1.0 mm, the D5 ensures quick, accurate measurements on large job sites. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
Leica Disto D8
The fully featured Disto D8 is the ultimate in portable measurement devices, at a fraction of the cost of traditional optical solutions.
With all the features of the other Distos in one device, including an improved 360' tilt sensor, the D8 is a must have for the professional surveyor or tradesman. Using Bluetooth communications, the D8 is a great accessory to the Ashtech Promark 500 GNSS receiver, allowing you to measure offsets for unreachable or low signal areas.
Measuring range is 0.05m to 200m and accuracy is +/-1.0 mm, the D8 ensures quick, accurate measurements on large job sites. More details in the Leica Disto Brochure (2MB)
