Works great, but lacks a few desirable details
By Kevin Wilcox
We bought this tool primarily to help us take measurements of existing items inside factories to assist in designing new structures. Many of the items we need to locate (conduit, steel beams, etc.) are located out of reach without using a high-lift. The LaserVision is an excellent option.
It works as advertised. To use it for regular distance measurements, it is similar to an auto-focus camera: simply push the red button half-way to activate the laser and target your object, then depress it the rest of the way to take the measurement. It is easy to target objects as small as 1" from 50 feet or more, and is easy to see the laser indoors. A distinct "click" is heard to indicate the measurement was taken. It takes less than a second for the display to register the dimension, either in 16ths, decimal feet, or meters. At least for short distances (10-20 feet) it is very accurate. We didn't check it for longer distances.
The triangulation feature is useful for rough estimates, but the measurements are rounded to 1", and are very sensitive to how level the instrument is held. We don't use that feature much, nor do we use the volume or area tools. We also don't use it much outdoors, which is a good thing, since it's range is greatly limited by sunlight.
A few desirable details that are missing:
1. A wrist strap on the unit. It is somewhat awkward to hold with one hand. I fear that one day someone will drop it.
2. Built in spirit levels, especially for denoting "plumb".
3. A tri-pod mounting bracket, for use similar to a surveying instrument.
If these details were added, I would give it 5 stars.

Everything you'd expect
By A Customer
Many times you buy a new technology device and find it doesn't measure (no pun) up. This device is very accurate and is a tremendous time saver. It is what the army would call a "force multiplyer".
As with the other recommnedation, I would also like to see a wrist strap and a level (although I'm sure they can both be improvised). Since it takes measurments fast you find yourself spending most of your time juggling between writing and measuring.
