Laser meters have been on our market for quite some time. And almost every year there are new models, new functions. To help you navigate the current market, we have made this assessment. Note that the cash laser team also includes measuring instruments for hunting, tourism and sports. But they are basically different from construction - in appearance and parameters. This is a topic for a separate article. Our rating is dedicated to the 10 best laser manufacturers that can be purchased in the winter of 2019 in the Russian Federation.

1. What else can be called a laser spectrometer?
2. laser tape
3. What to look for when selecting a laser band?

 

Range . Will you work with a range locator in the area? 

It takes a distance of up to 30 m. To work outdoors (for example, on a construction site), choose a bandwidth with a larger range - from 50 m.

Accuracy . For normal construction and repair work at home there will be several errors ± 3-5 mm.

Additional features.For the simplest measurements in everyday life (room length, freezer height), no additional options are needed.

Comfortable, but optional: calculation of the surface and volume of the room, built-in level, addition / subtraction, simple calculation of the size according to the Pythagorean theorem (by two points).

Other characteristics:(diagonal measurement, multilayer ceiling height), calculation of the area of ​​a triangle and measurement of table operation (convenient for rooms), calculation by the Pythagorean theorem, memory for various dimensions, support for measurements from an awkward point (inner corner, slit) Form), continuous measurement (allows you to measure the distance from the object), network (useful when measured outdoors in bright light), signaling function, surface tilt sensor, timer. Adding features increases the cost of the bandwidth, but also significantly expands the range of its capabilities.

• Battery life (without changing the battery).
• Temperature range . Particularly important if you work outdoors.
• Protect the case from dust and moisture. If road measurements are planned, at the construction site - look for a device with an IP indicator (dust and moisture resistance) of at least 54.
• Ease, weight and ability to use with a tripod. For good measurement results, the device must remain secure, stable. If you need to make frequent measurements, pay attention to how the housing of the device is in your hand - or the possibility of mounting it on a tripod.

Manufacturer.

Which company prefers to choose a laser bandwidth meter?

For use in everyday life suitable laser budget roulette companies such as

• Control
• Rgk
• ADA
• X-Line
• Hammer

More expensive semi-professional and professional The models produce:

• Leica
• Bosch
• Makita

Bosch Zamo has always been "out" of the laser cash register - not only did it not belong to the amateur "green" line, nor to the professional "blue" line, but it also built its own website. What is so unusual about this device? With its creation, it was decided to create a kind of "Swiss knife", while maintaining the price at the level of the budget category. Zamo itself, now the third generation, consists of a central unit and additional functional units that expand its functionality. - that is, it can also serve as a simple level, in addition to working as a direct locator (and that's a good reason to buy such a device for the home) with a rug and ... no, maybe not believe,

It is unfortunate that the measurement capability is purely "room": the maximum area does not exceed 20 meters with an accuracy of 3 mm (for "mechanical" measurements, respectively, 1.5 m and 1 mm). The functionality of the digital part is also limited - it is only recommended to calculate the area from two dimensions. But another thing is that for home use this is enough, and a flat bonus and a curve are not offered by other rangefinder manufacturers in principle.

Main advantages:

1. Easy to expand functionality and customizers can be purchased separately
2. Ease of use (iPhone level interface - one button for all occasions)
3. Reusable screen 
4. Disadvantages:
5. It is not the highest "wide range" and accuracy in the operation of the laser bandwidth.

The remote-controlled laser building from a "sincere-Taiwanese" company that generally does not try to imitate under a "business", but works confidently around the world without "hidden faces", is quite popular and interesting in terms of price- quality. The measuring instrument under this brand looks good, so it's no surprise that the bandwidth has come out weird.

In the Cosmo model, the "70s" model is a kind of "middling": the bandwidth is not as simple as the Cosmo Mini, but it doesn't force you to pay too much for "bells and whistles" like a Cosmo 120 Video camera. This is exactly what will be enough for a novice driver in most cases.
