This Leica DISTO A8 Laser Meter with Tilt Sensor, 3X Digital Viewfinder, & 650 Foot Range with .06" Accuracy is Brand New! Tool Zone Special - Free Tripod - Worth $39.99 Leica DISTO A8 Features: • A laser distance meter combined with a 3-fold digital zoom and a tilt sensor – these are the reasons that make the Leica DISTO A8 an innovation worldwide.• The instrument is ideal for indoors as well as for outdoors with the latest in metering technology:- Measure up to 200m- Power Range Technology- 3-fold digital zoom- Integrated tilt sensor- Indirect measurements, even if no target can be aimed at!• Find the target with 16 greyscales and crosshairs• When measuring over long distances, a digital zoom is essential as only in this way you can find your target in any weather.• Aim at the target with the 3-fold digital zoom supported by the blended in crosshairs.• The brightness of the display has 9 manually adjustable settings and the greyscales display provides ideal contrast: ideal on sunny days!• Power Range technology - With this technology you can measure distances up to 100 meter without any aid. With a target plate you can even measure up to 200 meters! To be able to measure accurately over such distances, we recommend using a tripod to prevent shaking.• Multifunctional endpiece with automatic endpiece recognition - It does not matter whether you are measuring from corners, edges or if you can aim the instrument straight at the target. With this endpiece you will be prepared to take measurements from any position.• Indirect measurements - Comfortably determine the height and width of a building from a distance. Indirect measurements can easily be made in bright and reflecting light. A tripod provides a stable measuring platform.• Obstacles? there are no such things anymore! - Roof ridges or room diameters can easily be measured even over obstacles. Even the height of fenced-in buildings can now be measured without entering the yard.• 2 Year Warranty Feature: Your advantageMeasuring range of 0.05/0.16 ft up to 200 m/650 ft; typ. accuracy ± 1.5 mm/0.06 in: Precise, fast and reliable measurementsPower Range Technology: Allows measuring of long distances (approx. 100 m) without target plateDigital viewfinder with 3-fold zoom: Easy measurements in sunshine and to far away targetsTilt sensor: Measure tilts by setting the housing on the objectIndirect tilt measurements: Height measurements, e.g. without reflecting the laser beam through the tilt sensorIndirect height/distance measurements: Measure to inaccessible areas – at the press of the button, more detailed information will be availableGreyscales display: Best contrast possible; 9 brightness settings availableIP54: Spray water and dust proof – essential for construction sites Leica DISTO A8 Specifications: Typical measuring accuracy: ± 1,5 mm / 0.06 inRange: 0.05–200 m / 0.16–650 ftPower Range Technology: YesDiameter of the laser dot in mm 6, 30, 60 mm @ 10, 50, 100mMinimum / maximum measurements: YesContinuous measurement: YesAddition / subtraction: YesArea / volume measurements: YesRoom calculation: YesIndirect measurement with Pythagoras: YesIndirect measurement with tilt sensor: YesTilt sensor:-Accuracy to the laser beam ± 0.15 Degrees-Accuracy to the housing: ± 0.3°3-fold digital zoom: YesStore constant value: Yes 1Recall last value: Yes 30Time delay release: YesDisplay illumination: YesMeasuring units: 0.000 m, 0.00 m, 0 mm, 0.00 ft, 0‘ 00“ 1/32, 0.00 1/32 ft in, 0.0 in, 0 1/32 inMeasurements per set of batteries: Up to 5,000 measurementsMultifunctional endpiece: YesBuilt in bubble level: YesTripod thread: YesBatteries: Type AA 2x1.5VSpray proof / dust protected IP54: YesDimensions: 148x64x36 mmWeight with batteries: 280g What Others Are Saying About Leica DISTO Units: Michael Stein (Site manager): “Especially on a building site you have to be fast, and here my Leica DISTO has more than paid off.”Dipl. Ing. Karin Aicher (Architect): “I have been working with Leica’s laser distance meters for years. Quality and reliability convinced me over and over again.”Julius Sanges (Construction supervisor): “At last there is an instrument with which I can measure distances and tilt. And it is small enough to fit into my pocket. Simply ideal!" -  Tilt is Available on the Leica A8 DISTO UnitFrequently Asked Questions on Leica DISTO Units: Q. Why are laser distance meters better than ultra sonics?A. Leica DISTOs measure with laser – exactly and over hard to reach areas.Ultra sonics measure with sound waves, which spread out conically and give only an indicative result as opposed at an accurate measurement. Sonics are affected by objects that appear within the measurement cone and do not operate well outdoors. Normal measurement range of an ultra sonic instrument is 20 m while a Leica DISTO measures up to 200 m with high accuracy. Q. Is the laser beam harmful?A. No. Our instruments are laser class II. Under normal circumstances your eyes are protected by aversion responses such as the blink reflex.  Q. What advantage does the Power Range Technology bring?A. Simple: while other instruments may measure up to 20 m or at best up to 40 m, the Power Range Technology lets you easily measure up to twice the distance. Q. When do I need the Pythagorean function?A. Whenever distances cannot be measured directly, e.g. if a target point is missing such as with a flat roof. The Leica DISTO A8 offers even more measuring options with the integrated tilt sensor. Thanks to this function you can measure indirect distances in a similar fashion to the Pythagoras function, however instead of 3 distance measurements, the tilt is measured. Ideal whenever no direct target point is available. !! Important Note About Buying Leica DISTO Units: !! Tool Zone, Inc. is an authorized Leica Geosystems Distributor.
