The NEW Leica D8 IS The most versatile laser distance meter in the world!


If you were impressed by the Leica Disto D5 Handheld Distance Measurer, then you will be astounded by the Leica Disto D8! Think of everything you ever wanted a Distance Handheld Measurer to be and to have... then check out the Leica Disto D8 and be prepared to be amazed at what it can accomplish!

Whether you have to accurately layout a construction site, gather height and angle data, calculate horizontal distances, or measure roof slopes and faced areas, the Leica Disto D8 can help you determine all that quickly and safely.

Equipped with a high resolution 2.4” color display, a digital point finder, Bluetooth technology, and a 360 degree tilt sensor, the Leica Disto D8 opens up completely new measuring possibilities. You can quickly and efficiently determine horizontal distances over the top of obstacles, or the height of a tree, even though it has no reflective points. Roof slopes and facade areas can be safely and rapidly measured from the ground. The Leica Disto D8 is even capable of simple levelling tasks, with out the assistance of a second person.

Measurement results can be transferred wirelessly and without errors from the Leica Disto D8 to pocket-PCs or PCs using the integral Bluetooth technology, where they can be further processed in Excel, AutoCAD or other software.

The Leica Disto D8’s digital Point finder with 4x zoom allows you to point quickly and easily at far off objects, in glaring sunlight too. Even when the laser dot is no longer visible to the naked eye, the target can be clearly seen on the 2.4“ high resolution color display, allowing accurate distance measurements to be made, even over great distances.

You can also use the Leica Disto D8 to calculate Altitude Profiles. All you need to do is measure a known reference mark with the device and then measure from each of the relevant altitude differences. When the measuring points have all been recorded in one direction you can then determine a cross-country profile with the measured horizontal distance and the height difference.

The Leica Disto D8 also has a stake out function. By entering two different distances (A and B) into the Leica Disto D8, they can be used to mark off defined measured lengths. At each measured length, the display shows the current marking distance and a direction arrow. Additionally, an alarm signal starts to ring at a distance of 4 inch from the next stake out point
Despite its wealth of functions, the Leica DISTO™ D8 is simple to operate and extremely handy; it can easily fit into any pocket. Its robust design with IP 54 protection keeps out dust and splash-water.item

PLANIX EX Digitizing Coordinate Planimeter


Planimeters are excellent tools to use when you measure irregular shaped areas on plans or drawings. They eliminate the need for grids, charts, or calculations done by hand. Planimeters are used by many in Surveying, Civil Engineering, Cartography, Architecture, Medicine, Clothing Industry, Boat and Ship Design, Office, Store and Plant Planning, and Biology.

Most people I know use the older model Planimeters, known as Mechanical Planimeters. These Mechanical Planimeters work well, work accurately and are usually efficient enough for the job. The only problem is that they are a little bulky and they aren’t so easy to use.

There is another solution! The Planix Ex is a Digitized Planimeter that works quickly, has a smoother operation, is built to last, and allows you measure areas, calculate lengths, coordinates, radii and angles. It also permits you to measure in metric units, inches, feet, yards and acres, as well as other user defined units.

The Planix Ex also has two modes to help with more accurate measurements; the Point mode and the Stream mode. The Point mode allows the user obtain areas and lengths of diagrams with straight lines easily and quickly while the Stream mode should be used for tracing curves on curved lines.

The Planix EX is so easy to use! All you need to do is roll it over the area you would like to calculate and it will give you a digital readout! As simple as that! It also has an automatic closing function, which automatically finishes the measurement when the trace point is returned to the starting point, making measuring easier.
