p.1 #10 · p.1 #10 · Laser distance measurements/Rangefinders for DOF calculation? | |
I have a PLS that is usable outdoors (1) if you can see the dot and (2) there is a laser viewing window for outdoor use.
I use it mostly indoors for construction stuff.
When I have used it outdoors and using the window for watching the laser dot, tracking the dot isn't what I would call "easy" and I bet very steady hands would be required over ~70' or so. That said, professional laser distance tools have (1) a brighter dot and (2) work over longer distances. I also have a much less expensive Bosch, same one that is available at the big box stores, that won't measure over ~60' (the PLS is good to 600' and accurate to +/- 1/16").
I've had mine for a long time, over 10 years and it was over $500 then. It has Leica optics. I don't know if newer models are any easier to use outdoors. A green laser model might be worth looking into (well, not literally ).
