DISTO D2

Firstly, this is the first time I have ever considered reviewing anything on Amazon, but this item is worth taking the trouble to do so. Though pretty much everything I need from it is purely to measure distances, the idea of it being more reliable, quicker and less hassle, was a bit of a no brainer, assuming of course it works to your tolerances. My use isn't dependent on it being mm perfect, just as long as it is 99% such. This is the perfect tool for my needs. Usually I am pretty impulsive, but I have had real trouble deciding whether to go with the older, cheaper, but slightly less features D2 or opt for the 210, but the different £40ish, was making me consider whether go with the "better" but more expensive option or lessen the gamble and go with the cheaper option. In reality the cheaper D2 does exactly what I want, but like so many of us, I liked the idea of the new model and of course we soon forget what we spent, just as long as it works.. Considering I ordered the D2, late on a saturday evening, the fact it arrived on the monday morning was superb. Ready to go, with the simple insertion of included batteries, I was expecting quick accurate measurements, but though it didn't exceed my expectations, it does exactly what is says is does, and does it quickly and accurately, which is surely what we want. I have spoken about buying one of these with my business partner, who is, shall we say old school and rather cynical about such things, but after trying it, comparing it with his "expect" eye, he was very impressed at its accuracy and speed. I just know he will be getting one before the month ends. Just as long as he doesn't get the 210, and I then regret going with the cheaper option….

I have some other Leica camera products so was drawn to this item versus another brand even though its not cheap. It is very compact and comes in a useful tough fabric case. The device itself has a quality feel. Its quite simple to use and ready to go. The product appeared very accurate when I tried it so no reason to doubt the exacting claims on the specification. I am confidant this is the best laser measurer which I need.

Really excellent . . . easy to use and accurate. Not cheap but good value.

Box had a couple of blemishes on outside the unit was totally perfect inside so well happy with price and condition this disto 2 is a nice compact unit smaller than most phones feels like a quality well made measuring laser being swiss you would exspect this anyway comes with a small case and strap cd and quick instructions very simple to use but next to useless outside over say 40 ft impossible to see in daylight but lieca do sell a more advance unit for outside use i got mine mainly for indoor work so no problem really The disto2 will not replace a tape for most measuring work but for quick acuurate wall to wall floor to ceiling floor areas a great tool to have in the van or toolbox

A great entry level laser tape. The red dot is hard to see in bright light but otherwise it's very good. Small, accurate and light. Fits into shirt pocket which is very useful. Good value and I've had no trouble with it all and I use it daily measuring property.

if you want a laser measure the measures, works out area, and works out volume then this is it. Easy to use and well made. Reliable, as I use it every day and many times each day I tend to go through batteries about once every 2 weeks using Duracell batteries, but this is heavy usage, I have two of these one in use and one spare, I wouldn't be without it.

Leica Disto D2 Laser Measurer Just bought this through Amazon Marketplace, which was the cheapest deal I could find anywhere, along with fast delivery. I've put it through its paces and although the specs allow a 1.5mm tolerance accuracy I've found all my measurements to be spot on with no margin of error. Although this is for indoor use I tried some distance measurements outdoors up to 30mtrs and got accurate readings. It may be that if it's extremely bright sunlight the laser dot might not be visible so outdoor readings might not be viable all the time but bear in mind it is primarily an indoor product. One of the reviewers said they had difficulty with the battery cover but if a 1p coin is used as per the instructions then there is no problem. This device fits in my shirt pocket and I can't ever see me using a conventional tape again unless for small jobs. Definitely worth it's price tag. Don't even consider the cheaper ultrasonic devices if accurate measurements are required.

This is a great bit of kit, I brought this after my old one finally died. It is very easy to use, has a lot of features, & the Bluetooth connection to the phone & App are very good, and make producing sketches with dimensions very easy. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new laser distance measure.

Ora che l'ho usato per un pò di tempo posso scrivere con tutta onestà la mia recensione. Per quanto riguarda la spedizione è stata velocissima, buona anche la condizione in cui ho ricevuto la confezione. Ho fatto questo acquisto per il mio lavoro, e questo articolo ha fatto il suo dovere. Design elegante, essenziale, piacevole alla vista, funziona come mi aspettavo. Non ho riscontrato grandi problemi. Piccolo e pratico da usare. All'avanguardia con le ultime tecnologie. Sembra duraturo. Lo consiglio a chi come me ha bisogno di dispositivi moderni per necessità lavorative. Ho scelto questo articolo dal momento che cerco sempre di acquistare il prodotto di maggiore qualità al miglior prezzo. Dopo questo ho preso anche altri articoli consigliati e molto interessanti.

Un dispositivo de pequeño tamaño (puedo llevarlo siempre en la mochila aunque no tenga previsto usarlo) pero extremadamente potente, que ha sustituido irreversiblemente a mi viejo flexómetro. Su versatilidad y precisión son impresionantes, enormemente potenciadas por la posibilidad de vincularlo al smartphone o tableta y, en combinación con la aplicación adecuada, realizar mediciones al tiempo que dibujo los planos de estado actual a pie de obra.

Attention - ce n'est pas le modèle D2 nouveau qui incorpore la fonctionne bluetooth. Néanmoins, il est parfait. Mode d'emploi fournit comme CD, mais pas besoin car il est tellement simple et intuitif que je ne l'ai même pas eu besoin. Fonctionnes additif et soustractif sont bienvenues pour calculer la superficie d'une pièce complexe. Exemple une cave compliqué, j'avais calculé au mètre classique à 30m2 et ça m'a pris facilement 1 heure. Avec ce laser, la superficie à la fin était 29,993m2 fait en <3 minutes! Pour chambres mansardées, le calcul de la surface loi carrez et simple - mettre la fonctionne "piquer"(?), mettez 1,80m posez le au sol, laser au plafond et glisse-le au sol. Quand il approche 1,80 il commence a biper, plus rapidement plus que ça approche, puis son à l'hauteur 1,80 atteint. Posez un crayon au sol qui délimite 1,80 puis calculez la superficie!

This is a very nice tool for measuring rooms and things if you do not require accuracy beyond an error tolerance of 1/8 of an inch. (*) I laid out several lines from a vertical "wall" in a well lit test location on a desk, the lines being exactly 1" apart, using a digital caliper accurate to 0.0005", just to see how consistent the Lecia Disto D2 is. I know the specs say +/- 1.5mm (approx. 1/16 inch), but I wanted to see how things actually played out. If the tool, for example, is consistent in adding or subtracting 1/16 inch, I could simply allow for that and use it on my project. I started measuring the distance from the wall to each line, visually aligning the line flush with the tail end of the Leica, and it started showing me EXACTLY 8.0", 9.0", 10.0", then started randomly adding or subtracting 1/16th of an inch, despite my best efforts to precisely align it each time. Even using the timer function did not change this. I found a way to sort of 'roll' my finger tip onto the measure button while holding the Leica perfectly still, so it did not move. But this is where the +/- 1/16 comes into play. No way to predict which way the tool will err within its specs, whether it will add or subtract . I don't blame the tool, just wanted to see how it actually handled that tolerance in the hope I could use it. However, I then saw that when I was even the tiniest bit "off" my line, I am talking maybe 0.010" off the line, the Leica also calculated that difference, and since it can only work in increments of 1/16, it has to round up or down, either added or subtracted ANOTHER 1/16 (*) due to "my" error of being less than perfect on the line. So what this adds up to is when I got to the next line, I could only count on a range of as much as 1/8 of an inch in accuracy. + 1/16, or - 1/16 for the tool's tolerance, and again +/- another 1/16 for my own accuracy using the tool (a possible range of 1/8 " overall). The reason I allowed for attempts in deliberately being off the line 'a little' is that it is a rare thing to find perfect 90 degree corners in architecture, especially as it ages. Many 30 year old homes I've seen only dream of "square" corners in drywall construction. So if measuring during remodeling for something like floor molding, the possible gap in the fit I would get while measuring with the D2 is just not going to be accurate enough. Which is the project I am currently doing. It's a very nice tool, quick to respond, and as accurate as the manufacturer intends. It is easy to read, even without the backlight being on, and VERY easy to read with the backlight. But it is not the right choice for me at the moment. So I returned it.

Ottimo misuratore laser, molto preciso e molto utili sono le funzioni che ha, come per es. le funzioni per calcolare l'area, la funzione pitagora due e tre punti, somma/sottrazione per la somma di aree, funzione "pittore" per il calcolo della superficie totale delle pareti, funzione tracciamento, la distanza minimo/massimo per la misura delle diagonali di una stanza, molto utile, inoltre l'adattatore multifunzione che è quel piccolo sportellino posto nella parte posteriore dello strumento che può ruotare e che consente di allineare rapidamente il misuratore ad un bordo. Purtroppo non è dotato di alcuni accessori come per. es. le piastre segnale (GZM3, GZM26) che ho dovuto comprare a parte e quelle originali Leica costano secondo me un po' troppo (mediamente 30 - 45 € l'una) visto che in fondo sono due pezzi di plastica e che però sono molto utili quando bisogna rilevare la distanza di un bordo. Comunque, tutto sommato, ottimo strumento per rilevare distanze, soprattutto quando si è da soli.
