Leica DISTO D2 – Laser Distance Meter with Automatic end-Piece Detection

I have some other Leica camera products so was drawn to this item versus another brand even though its not cheap. It is very compact and comes in a useful tough fabric case. The device itself has a quality feel. Its quite simple to use and ready to go. The product appeared very accurate when I tried it so no reason to doubt the exacting claims on the specification. I am confidant this is the best laser measurer which I need.

Really excellent . . . easy to use and accurate. Not cheap but good value.

A great entry level laser tape. The red dot is hard to see in bright light but otherwise it's very good. Small, accurate and light. Fits into shirt pocket which is very useful. Good value and I've had no trouble with it all and I use it daily measuring property.

I am house-hunting: estate-agents plans and dimensions are not to be trusted. I don't need anything more than the basic measuring function really: calculating areas is a useful extra, but few rooms are neat rectangles so I prefer to write things down and do the calculations later. The Leica DISTO D2 does all that with ten times more accuracy than I am likely to need. It fits into a pocket, is easy to read, solidly made, and looks rather more elegant than the competition. My first intention was to buy the competition on the basis that there was no need to pay more for functions I did not need. But Amazon's price was very good and this may be the only Leica I am ever likely to afford. Actually the camera company is a separate enterprise only distantly related Leica-geosystems. Still it's nice to buy something that isn't made in China these days: Swiss technology made in Hungary it says on the label: can't be bad.

Firstly, this is the first time I have ever considered reviewing anything on Amazon, but this item is worth taking the trouble to do so. Though pretty much everything I need from it is purely to measure distances, the idea of it being more reliable, quicker and less hassle, was a bit of a no brainer, assuming of course it works to your tolerances. My use isn't dependent on it being mm perfect, just as long as it is 99% such. This is the perfect tool for my needs. Usually I am pretty impulsive, but I have had real trouble deciding whether to go with the older, cheaper, but slightly less features D2 or opt for the 210, but the different £40ish, was making me consider whether go with the "better" but more expensive option or lessen the gamble and go with the cheaper option. In reality the cheaper D2 does exactly what I want, but like so many of us, I liked the idea of the new model and of course we soon forget what we spent, just as long as it works.. Considering I ordered the D2, late on a saturday evening, the fact it arrived on the monday morning was superb. Ready to go, with the simple insertion of included batteries, I was expecting quick accurate measurements, but though it didn't exceed my expectations, it does exactly what is says is does, and does it quickly and accurately, which is surely what we want. I have spoken about buying one of these with my business partner, who is, shall we say old school and rather cynical about such things, but after trying it, comparing it with his "expect" eye, he was very impressed at its accuracy and speed. I just know he will be getting one before the month ends. Just as long as he doesn't get the 210, and I then regret going with the cheaper option….

if you want a laser measure the measures, works out area, and works out volume then this is it. Easy to use and well made. Reliable, as I use it every day and many times each day I tend to go through batteries about once every 2 weeks using Duracell batteries, but this is heavy usage, I have two of these one in use and one spare, I wouldn't be without it.

Pocket sized & therefore always at hand! Great to calculate volumes, I'm a construction foreman & use it many times daily! I always had an 8m tape before but this item is so much better. I can check dimensions in aided, it's good in low light & it sieges nothing compared to the tape measure. Highly recommended. Great quality item.

This is a great bit of kit, I brought this after my old one finally died. It is very easy to use, has a lot of features, & the Bluetooth connection to the phone & App are very good, and make producing sketches with dimensions very easy. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new laser distance measure.
