Rangefinders with gesture-triggered readings

Leica Geosystems portable laser rangefinders.

Leica Geosystems presented the DISTO D5 And DISTO X6 handheld laser rangefinders that the company says offer faster, more accurate measurements and superior outdoor performance, as well as greater durability and extended battery life.

And in what Leica claims is an industry first, users can trigger measurements by simply interrupting the laser beam with their hand, eliminating the risk of moving the device at the push of a button.

Both units offer 1mm accuracy and a maximum range of 200m and 250m respectively, an integrated digital finderscope and a high-resolution display with zoom function.

Both feature Bluetooth for integration with the DISTO Plan app, and the DISTO X6 can be paired with the DST 360-X tripod adapter.
