I've got a Disto 510 which will happily measure over 100 metres and does
offset heights for trees handheld fairly accurately.
Its not as waterproof as it claims as it can fill up with condensation quite
quick (it does clear in the dry) and the screen scratches very easily if not
kept in the case. The display only shows measurement in black as far as I can
see so sometimes you have to adjust it so the measurement comes up in a
lighter part of the screen which is a rather poor oversight.
I find it works quite well for me and is not very expensive at about £350.
It's very small also which is always useful for discression!
Cheers
Dave

Subject: Laser rangefinders
Unfortunately over the Christmas period my car was broken into and a Trupulse
360 laser rangefinder was stolen out of the boot. We bought the Trupulse when
we thought we might want to integrate it with GPS etc, but that never
happened, so we don't need the same bells and whistles for its replacement
(just accurate heights and distances really). I was wondering if anyone has
any thoughts? Obviously there is the Trupulse 200, but I am also looking at
the Nikon Forestry Pro and various Leica Disto devices. I particularly like
the look of the Nikon. Does anybody have any views as to the pro and cons of
these various bits of kit?
