Ryoma Kohari Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hi, everyone. I'm thinking to buy a laser range meter and researching about it. Now, I think the best one is Hilti PD32 because it has a telephoto lens to measure a far point. It's very useful to see a laser point clearly under daylight in outside as well. However the compact Leica meter looks attractive, too. Please tell me your best laser range meter for AC jobs! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Auner aac Posted September 10, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi Ryoma, I have recently bought a Leica Disto A5 based on member's recommendations here. So far, I have not used it on a shoot, but for a number of other thing. It's a great tool. Simple to use and very accurate! Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Brinkhaus Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The Disto A2 is great as well, for a lower price, however with less features. The A2 is accurate up to an 1/8th of an inch, and has a range of like 200ft or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dror Dayan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The A2 is verx good for indoors, on sunny days on exterior locations you can have a lot of problems finding your point and measuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I got the A5. It has a 2x viewfinder which makes it much easier to aim outdoors. They say that red sunglasses work well too, you might be able to use a red filter for B&W photography as well... Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even concerning price and functions, Leica Disto A5 sounds good. Thanks for your info Dave. :lol: Is there anyone who knows AC using Hilti laser meter??

Dan Salzmann Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Two AC's that I work with use Hiltis mostly for Steadicam stuff it seems. And not all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
