Leica DISTO D5 KIT (950879)
Leica DISTO D5 Laser Distance Meter Kit – Built for Real Jobsites, Not Guesswork

The Leica DISTO D5 isn’t just a laser tape replacement — it’s a jobsite measuring system designed for contractors who need accurate exterior and interior measurements without climbing ladders, stretching tapes, or re-checking numbers. Whether you’re shooting elevations, checking wall heights, or measuring long distances outdoors in full sun, the D5 delivers fast, repeatable results you can trust.

What separates the D5 from basic laser measures is its digital Pointfinder and tilt sensor, allowing precise aiming and indirect height measurements when line-of-sight access isn’t possible. Combined with tripod mounting and fine-adjust aiming, this kit is ideal for layout, estimating, takeoffs, roofing, framing, and general construction where accuracy protects time and margins.

Leica DISTO D5 958079 Distance Measure Tool KIT INCLUDES:
  • Leica DISTO D5 Laser Distance Meter
    Rechargeable laser distance meter with digital Pointfinder, tilt sensor, Bluetooth Smart, and long-range outdoor measuring capability.
  • Leica FTA 360 Fine Adjustment Adapter
    Precision tripod adapter that allows micro-adjust aiming of the DISTO for accurate long-distance and outdoor measurements.
  • Leica TRI 75 Tripod
    Compact, lightweight tripod designed specifically for laser distance meters, providing stable setup for repeatable measurements.
  • Charging Device
    Factory charging cable for recharging the DISTO D5 internal battery.
  • Protective Carrying Pouch
    Keeps the DISTO protected during transport and storage on the jobsite.
  • Calibration Certificate Silver

  • Quick Start with QR Code Linking to Online Manual
  • 3 Year Warranty Card, Safety Manual

Designed for Outdoor Measuring Where Other Lasers Fail

Bright sunlight, long distances, and awkward measuring positions are where most handheld laser measures fall apart. The DISTO D5’s integrated digital Pointfinder with zoom lets you visually target your measurement point on the screen, not just rely on a faint red dot. This makes it ideal for exterior walls, roof edges, structural steel, and façade measurements.

Indirect Height & Elevation Measurements Without Climbing

The built-in tilt sensor allows contractors to calculate heights and distances indirectly — perfect for measuring wall heights, rooflines, and setbacks when direct measurement isn’t practical or safe. Pairing the D5 with the FTA 360 adapter and TRI 75 tripod gives you a stable, repeatable setup that improves accuracy over handheld-only use.

Faster Documentation and Cleaner Workflow

With Bluetooth Smart, measurements can be transferred directly to a phone or tablet, reducing transcription errors and saving time during estimating, verification, and reporting. This keeps field measurements clean and consistent from jobsite to office.

Jobsite-Ready, Not Fragile

Built by Leica Geosystems, the DISTO D5 is designed for professional use — not occasional DIY work. The rugged housing, bright color display, and ergonomic design make it reliable across framing, concrete, roofing, electrical, HVAC, and general construction applications.

Leica 958079 DISTO D5 Laser Distance Measure PRODUCT FEATURES
Trigger Measurements with a Wave of your Hand
Gesture – Activated Measurements

Sometimes, the pressure of pushing the ON/DIST button can cause the laser point to move off your target. At long measurement distances, even a small wobble at the laser emitter causes wide movement of the laser point at the end of the line, potentially ruining a measurement, especially on a small target

Gesture – Activated Measurements eliminate the need to touch the DISTO: Carefully place the laser dot or crosshairs of the Pointfinder Camera on your target and simply wave a hand in front of the device to breifly interrupt the beam. When the DISTO senses this pulse, it triggers the measurement.

BLUETOOTH Keyboard Mode

BLUETOOTH Keyboard Mode

In this mode, your device sees the DISTO as a Bluetooth keyboard. Press send to delivery measured values to the cursor in any program.

Very useful for quickly sending values from the DISTO to a pre-defined form in Excel, for example.

Ensure accurate measurements from corners and tight places

Measurements from Corners and Tight Spot

The Multi-functional endpiece folds out from the back of the DISTO and automatically sets the measuring point to either the rear of the DISTO or the tip of the extended endpiece.

This DISTO-exclusive feature ensures that the DISTO is measuring precisely from an outside corner (a very common use case). When fully extended, it is possibe to measure from the back of openings as narrow as 2.5 mm. Combined with Min/Max mode, thre is no better method for determining the precise corner-to-corner measurement of a rough opening when installing windows or doors.

Automatically Correct Angled Measurements
Automatically Correct Angled Measurements

A laser beam is perfectly straight by definition, making it more accurate than a tape measure. That is also why a laser measurement taken at an angle returns a longer value: An angled line to a plane is longer than a level one. More often than not, this level horizontal distance is the measurement you need.

This fact of geometry can be a problem on active sites where stacks of materials, machinery or other obstacles prevent a level horiontal measurement. The longer the measurement, the greater the error.

In Smart HorizontalMode, DISTO’s use the reading from an angle sensor to correct a measurement taken at an angle. The result is an accurate level measurement even if you have to aim over obstacles on the job site.

Work Smarter with Apps

WORK SMARTER with APPS
Connect your phone, tablet or computer with Bluetooth

Send measurements to compatible applications/apps like our own DISTO Plan App (pictured above) or drop measurements at the cursor in a spreadsheet.

Certified specialists apps for everyone from cabinet makers to real estate appraisers are available.
