On construction sites and during surveying work, every detail counts - and every mistake costs time and money. With Leica DISTO's innovative solutions, you can count on precision, reliability and efficiency. If you measure correctly the first time, you not only save resources but also avoid expensive rework. Here we will show you the concrete benefits you can expect - backed up by real customer experience and technical facts.

Save time and money - through efficiency

Nobody likes travelling to the construction site more than once - especially for incorrect measurements. Leica DISTO devices ensure precise measurements right from the start and the DISTO Plan app helps to document them clearly. This reduces the number of trips and saves money, direct customer feedback confirms the time and cost savings.

Highest accuracy - at ISO level

You can rely on very high accuracy as Leica DISTO devices are ISO 16331-1 compliant and, depending on the model, measure with a deviation of less than 1 mm - a clear advantage over other devices with less accuracy or sometimes even significant deviations.

Precise aiming - even in sunlight

Another highlight is the digital Pointfinder with camera, which enables precise aiming even in bright sunlight. The integrated crosshairs on the display ensure that you can measure reliably even when the laser dot is not visible due to bright sunlight.

Unbreakable - even on rough construction sites

Robustness is a must: IP65 protection and drop tests from a height of 2 meters / 6 feet guarantee durability even under extreme conditions. Thanks to the fiberglass-reinforced housing and sophisticated sealing concept, your investment in a high-quality measuring device is optimally protected even under the toughest conditions.

Reliable - no errors, no waste

Incorrect measurements can result in high follow-up costs. Leica Geosystems offers over 200 years of experience in measurement technology and stands for absolute reliability - no wonder that many customers remain loyal to the brand in the long term.

Performance in any light

Thanks to state-of-the-art ASIC technology (proprietary DISTO chipset), the devices deliver reliable readings even in difficult lighting conditions and over long distances - ideal for indoor and outdoor use.

Measuring in all dimensions

Together with the DISTO and a DST adapter, you can not only measure distances directly from the device but also distances between any points or lines. You can even create 2D/3D CAD plans which means you are ideally equipped for any project.

Solutions for every requirement

Whether simple or challenging – Leica Geosystems offers well-designed measuring solutions with the right accessories, also available in ready to measure kits. Thanks to close collaboration with customers, solutions are created that really make everyday life easier.

Digital workflow made easy

The DISTO Plan app and keyboard mode convert your measurement data directly into digital formats - from Excel to CAD. Transposed figures or errors when assigning measured values are a thing of the past. In addition, you always have an overview of your measurement tasks.

Accessories - for more precise results

Incorrect documentation is expensive. Intelligent accessories, from target plates designed for different areas of application to tripods and aiming aids, support your measurement tasks and help to significantly improve quality and efficiency.

Quality that lasts

The extremely low failure rate shows that Leica DISTO devices clearly exceed the industry standard. The high repurchase rate speaks for itself - once you work with DISTO, you stick with it.

Conclusion:
With Leica DISTO you rely on "Do it right the first time". Less effort, more precision and maximum reliability - so that your projects are completed professionally and successfully.
