After reading the comments it sad there aren't some grown-ups watching this. I think a great addition to measuring the length of that being would be to use the disto in the method you just showed and then get a taller ladder to measure parallel with the beam and then compare measurements. I'm new to lasers and don't need one for super high accuracy. I'm a flooring installer and I found that using the laser to quickly measure the length and width of the house and each individual room can quickly give me some relatively accurate measurements to draw up a sketch of the home to reasonable accuracy. Once that's done and I have my layout drawn I can use a tape measure to measure each part of the room that I want to measure. I'm not measuring wall to wall I'm measuring baseboard to baseboard. I also measure closet depths and widths and tiny details which are useless with the laser. That said, the laser helps me quickly draw up the measurement or footprint of a home because doing so with a tape measure is quite slow. It's also helpful because you can measure over furniture. I might move up to a fancy laser someday but for me, the cheap one still measure to 16ths. Thanks for the video I always wondered how you measure from point to point such as a vaulted ceiling. I'm not going to be carpeting any ceilings in the near future so for now at least, that's too much bang for my bucks. 😁 Pay no attention to the trolls they've got nothing better to do but criticize.
I agree with your point on showing and confirming with a second measurement along the line. What is the accuracy of P-P using range, angle and pitch of two points? Surly there is a trade off. Showing the "old way" will reveal the pain vs ease vs 1/4" vs 1/16" trade offs.
I got the blaze 400 due to price and thought it was supposed to do this same thing but have been disappointed! Isn’t this one supposed to take 3-D scans to of like the interior or of a landscape? I’m trying to design our house and we also have a large property with a rental right next-door that we own and if it could scan and record the measurements of everything that would be awesome. What products do I need to do this?
¿Qué tan cierto es que tiene una falla de precisión a grandes distancias? tengo entendido que alcanza hasta 300m, ¿Cuál sería su rango de error a esa distancia?
I'm about to purchase this device for marine use in the field. Is it possible to use this on a vessel in the water where you cannot level? The tripod would change level all the time, but it would all be relative/tied to the vessel. Is it still accurate to use this without calibrating level or using that? Thanks.
You can take measurements without leveling, but you will not get the 3 dimensional data like slope distance, horizontal distance, or vertical distance between two points. When the unit is not leveled, you will only get a "TIE" distance between two points which is slope distance.
You can still measure point to point distances accurately. You just can't level the device to give you rise and run. This is assuming the platform and the object you're measuring are in the same reference (i.e. on a boat measuring boat parts).
OLA WOULD LIKE A HELP. MY DISTO S910 WHEN I USE THE P2P FUNCTION MOST OF THE TIME, A TIME HOURGLASS APPEARS AND IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF IT, IT DOES NOT MEASURE. WHAT CAN IT BE
Sir, I have what I think would be a revolutionary simple idea that would be easy to integrate into any Disto product. I, myself had the D810, and most of the dimensioning takes place within homes in regular-sized rooms. The majority of the time I spend on-site is sketching the areas. With my idea, I feel I could cut this time in half (or more), and it would EASILY integrate into any disto device. How can I relay my idea onto the engineers at Leica?
This is not at all what I was searching for, but I watched it anyway.
very well done and explained - great work

Where did you get your camera men? Home Depot parking lot?

Hey Brian did you finally buy?

touch screen was not responsive at all
Don’t expect the Bluetooth to work. It does not. It has never worked for me. Think twice before buying this.

Please send your suggestion to leica.disto@leicaus.com. Thx. Leica
hahaha lol this was a official video? you are in the 90's ?
Or you could do math
