Leica Disto D5 R Laser Distance Meter
The Leica Disto D5 R Laser Distance Meter delivers precise distance measurements for professional users working indoors and outdoors. Its advanced digital pointfinder makes aiming simple, even when the laser dot is difficult to see in bright conditions. This helps improve accuracy and supports reliable results across a wide range of measuring tasks.
Built for demanding environments, the Leica Disto D5 R Laser Distance Meter offers a measuring range of up to 200 metres and accuracy as high as ±1mm in favourable conditions. Gesture activation allows measurements to be triggered without touching the instrument, helping maintain stability during use. The bright IPS display provides a clear view of targets and measurement data.
Built for Outdoor Measurement
Smart Horizontal Mode enables accurate measurements when obstacles block a direct path to the target. In addition, the instrument supports tilt measurements, height tracking, profile measurements and angle measurements. These functions help users complete complex measuring jobs with a single device.
A digital pointfinder with 4x zoom improves visibility over long distances. Combined with X-Range Power Technology, the unit provides dependable performance in challenging outdoor conditions. The multifunctional end-piece automatically adapts to different measuring positions, reducing setup time and improving consistency.
Connected Workflow and Documentation
Bluetooth Smart V5.0 connectivity allows measurements to be transferred directly to the Leica DISTO Plan App. Users can create sketches, document site conditions and organise project data from a smartphone or tablet. As a result, records can be shared quickly and reviewed later when needed.
Two set options are available to suit different applications. The Leica Disto D5 R Laser Distance Meter can be purchased as a standalone instrument or as part of the DISTO D5 R Pro Pack, which includes a tripod and accessories. A rechargeable Li-ion battery, IP54 protection and robust construction make it suitable for daily professional use.
