Leica Roteo 35 The all-in-one Rotating laser


Ever buy a laser that you desperately need and you put your whole project on hold until you receive it? Then when you actually do receive it, it doesn’t do exactly what you need it to do?! It doesn’t rotate the way you want it to or you can’t see it in the glaring sunlight or it’s just not accurate enough? Then you have to go either back online or to a store, buy a new laser and cross your fingers that it will work!

That is why Leica came out with a brand new laser that includes everything you would need for interior and exterior work! On ceilings or walls, on floors or using a tripod, the Leica Roteo 35 rotating laser is a multi-talented performer. You can use it for many tasks where leveling or aligning is required.

The Leica Roteo 35 comes with a remote-controlled wall bracket which can save you a huge amount of work. There is no need to have a second person align the laser – the height of the wall bracket can be quickly adjusted via remote control from the application site. The Leica Roteo 35 is also self-leveling and is always precisely aligned in the horizontal or vertical plane. If the instrument changes position during operation, an alarm will sound, thus preventing errors arising from incorrect alignment.

If you are taking it onto a construction sight there is no need to worry about unexpected knocks or bumps to the Leica Roteo 35. It has a strong aluminum cage that fully protects the sensitive laser head! The cage can be removed so that you may adjust the laser head by hand if necessary. It also is in the protection class of IP54, which means that the Roteo 35 is dust and splash proof!

The Leica Roteo 35 also comes with a receiver so that even in the glaring sunlight you may get an accurate read off of it! The range is up to 300 meters and it has a 50 hour battery use of continuous operation! This way, you will not have to keep running to charge it everyday!


Believe me when I say, that the Leica Roteo 35 is exceptional in every aspect! It works indoors, outdoors, in glaring sunlight, it rotates, the actual laser can be adjusted to slope and it is self leveling! In addition it comes with a remote, a receiver, a wall mount and much, much more! It’s every surveyors and architects dream!

The World’s longest laser range Theodolite


Buying a Theodolite is a big investment and no simple task. To most people it is the most confusing job because they all seem to be boasting the exact same functions and abilities, with just a variation of prices! Most customers are rushed into purchasing a Theodolite that they have little or no idea how to work it, or what it does.

I have gotten quite a number of phone calls from customers who purchased a Theodolite elsewhere, asking if I can email them an instruction manual or if I know how to turn it on! The first time I received a call like that, I couldn’t believe my ears! A customer who invests any money into one of my products can be assured that they will definitely know everything I know about the product, how to use it and benefit from it!

You have to understand, Theodolites are a bit more complicated then your average surveyor’s machine. It will take a little bit longer to know everything there is to know about it, but I promise you will. Take for instance the Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite. This instrument has many functions but even though it is pretty simple to work and learn about, it is still a bit more complex then most devices.

To sum it up, Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite is equipped with a telescope with laser beam capability, boasts the world’s longest laser range, class-topping dust and water protection, and has a continuous use for 12.5 hours. The LDT520 is designed for directional controls in tunnel excavation, precise marking and alignment in construction and engineering applications.

Sounds a little convoluted, right? Actually, the Sokkia LDT520 5” Laser Digital Theodolite is one of the most user friendly Theodolites! I can explain how to use it easily and quickly! Any questions you have will be answered immediately! You have my word that you will not be making calls to other companies for anything to do with it!

The NEW Leica Disto D5 worth a close look.


I was talking to a friend the other day, who works in the roofing business. He was complaining to me about his old age. “It’s not easy to climb up onto the roof anymore,” he grumbled, “Every time I lean that ladder against the wall and look up, the roof seems to have gotten further away. If only I could save myself a trip up and down.”

If he had complained about this a couple of months ago I would have just given him a sympathetic pat on the back and continued the conversation. But, now I had a solution for him!

Leica had announced that they were coming out with a new Laser Distance Measuring Device, the Disto D5. I was curious as to what new functions the Disto D5 would have so I researched it and what I found astounded me!

The Disto D5 has a new function that no other Laser Distance Measuring Device has! It is called the Trapezium function. It can measure roof slopes and facade areas quickly with just the push of a button! Which means that you can stand on the ground, with the Disto D5 in your hand, shoot it to the roof in a couple of places, and it will come up with an area for you!

I excitedly informed my friend of this new device, and I assured him that it would save him many trips up and down his ladder! He was ecstatic!

“That’s not all!” I explained enthusiastically, “The Disto D5 is a very user friendly tool. It has complex equations that it breaks down for the user into simple answers and measurements. The Disto D5 integrated digital point finder with a 4x zoom and a color display. It makes finding the target at long distances much easier.”

“The Disto D5 also has a built in tilt sensor,” I continued breathlessly. “You can quickly and simply measure slopes up to ± 45°. The tilt sensor also allows you to measure absolutely horizontally or measure past obstructions (horizontal distance). You can also measure up to 100 m without a target plate and up to 200 m using a target plate, without having to take a single step!”

My friend looked at me in amazement. “This device has everything I need!” he said, “I want one and I’m going to buy one!”
