Leica DISTO D1 120ft Laser Distance Measure with Bluetooth 4.0, Black/Red

I love it the quality is great, has a great accuracy and makes my work so easy now I have it, its super portable

I had been using the other more expensive Leica E1700i, for a few years, which does measure distances up to 200 feet, but was having connectivity issues with it cutting in and out with the Bluetooth software. This model feels more substantial, it automatically shuts off after inactivity, saving battery life, and so far, I have had better connectivity with my measuring software on this model. It does what it needs to do, connects easily, and so far, I don’t believe that I’ll ever need to measure more than 120 linear feet, just one button to click for measuring

What can I say, it's a Leica

This is all to need to measure accurately. If you don’t need Bluetooth connection to phone this does what you need. Accurate measurements.

Muy buena herramienta, solo q el láser se pierde con el sol.

I have been trying to find a way to do existing measurements with a laser measurer and put them directly into a cad program. I first tried the Bosch GLM 50C which could send dimensions to Floor Plan Creator which could then export the file as a DFX file. Floor Plan creator is a challenge to do existing plans with. Next the DFX file doesn't convert directly to a DWG plan. It has to be resized to the right scale and then traced. Searching the Chief Architect site it says two of the expensive Disto measurers would work. It wasn't clear if this inexpensive Bluetooth measurer could be used with Home Designer. Further down the page it says there is a program, Disto transfer PC. It took some effort to figure it out, but it does work well. Choose to transfer lengths in decimal format instead of feet and inches as Home Designer doesn't like the fractional inch format from the Disto. There is also a Sketch Plan app that can export a DWG file. I think this will work too, but haven't tried it enough yet to know.

It works well!

The documentation for this device is seriously lacking, and it does not sync data like most other Bluetooth devices. For example, nothing in the pithy documentation explains the nuance with pairing the D1 with your phone. In Android 12, I finally figured out that you SHOULD NOT use the Android Bluetooth settings to pair/recognize it -- otherwise the Leica software won't recognize it. You simply let Leica's software to do the pairing by itself, which is not how any other Bluetooth device works. Plus, while I can get the Leica software to read values into the spreadsheet app, I cannot get it to add a measurement to a drawing or line on a photo in the other Leica app. Thus I wind up having to type the length manually on any line in the drawing software. The D1 device itself otherwise works fairly intuitively, and +/- 2mm is pretty accurate at this price-point. Changing its settings (e.g. units, BT-on/off, beeps) involves holding down both buttons for a second or two. And yes, it only has two buttons.

Amazing product. Switches off itself when not in use

Compré este producto para hacer levantamientos arquitectónicos y me ha servido bastante. El láser es de muy buena calidad y puede leer distancias incluso en plena luz del día pero con distancias no muy grandes. Se siente bien hecho y es resistente a caídas y salpicaduras leves. Utiliza pilas AAA y le duran bastante. Es sumamente sencillo de utilizar y si lo emparejas con la app para smartphones puedes tomar fotos e irle metiendo las medidas de lo que quieras medir para entonces tener una foto con cotas. La función de generar planos es muy buena pero si quieres medir fachadas a la distancia se vuelve más complicado y será necesario pagar una subscripción a Leica, lo cual no me gustó nada. El distanciómetro no puede medir ángulos lo cual es raro porque hay otros productos de menor precio que si pueden hacerlo. A pesar de eso, recomiendo mucho el producto porque es de buena calidad y es fácil de usar.

do a good job, but it is not well protected.

Excellent. Works very well and small. The only complaint is the Velcro on the case wore out. So it doesn’t stick around my v belt very well but it’s been almost 3 years.

Es una increíble herramienta no sólo para obtener medidas, también para generar croquis y obtener imagenes con medidas. Es muy preciso y la APP es muy fácil de usar. Realmente facilita mi trabajo
