Leica 950908 DISTO D5 Laser Distance Quick Measuring Tool – up to 660 feet

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

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.

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.

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.
