I think I'm being drawn towards the Nikon. It's much smaller and lighter than
the Trupulse (and cheaper), has excellent optics (apparently) and is also
waterproof (to certain limits). I don't like the idea of a red dot, which
Distos appear to have.

I bought a Trupulse a few years ago. If I'm honest I don't really like it; it
commonly measures a distance of 25 metres when I think I'm nearer or further
away than that. However whenever I check it with a tape measure, or on one
occasion a Surveyor's extremely expensive load of kit, it seems to be about
right. So I'm being unreasonable; but because I doubt the thing's
measurements I end up wasting time checking them and checking them again,
which might be no bad thing. I suppose I save a bit of time over the Haglof
which still accompanies me to site.
I got mine from Positioning Resources on the grounds they were at the
conference and had got a cheap deal going. They were very helpful, "cheap"
being a relative concept in these matters of course.
Bill.
