Bosch GLM400C Blaze Outdoor 400 ft Bluetooth Connected Laser Measure with Camera and AA Batteries

This instrument is a lifesaver! I bought it to survey the lot of the house I purchased, to plan for new construction. The lot has a large flat section, but also significant asymmetrical slopes in front and back. The back of the lot is not even easily accessible, but visible, with a steep downslope. I was able to measure everything in length and elevation pretty much perfectly, certainly well enough to be a guide for my preliminary building plans. I was able to measure the size and location of the house, setbacks, distance to the edges of the lot and flat parts of the lot, width of the street out front, etc. I used it in conjunction with a good target https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BNY7NE?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details that made certain measurements much quicker and easier than without. A target like that is a must, IMO. The most impressive thing was that I was able to measure the back of the lot with a 40ft high, 70ft deep downslope (~32 degrees), with only a concrete drainage ditch at the end to target. I did all measurements form the top of the slope. The measurements, even with such an unreliable target, were repeatable enough and crosschecked well enough to be usable (within a foot). Ex: height should be the same when targeting the same point at the bottom of the slope from any part along the top edge of the slope. I got good enough measurements even without a tripod. Measuring the length, height and angle of the slope would have been pretty much impossible without a tool like this! The indirect measurements on this device are Just awesome! Quite easy to access in the menu, though easier would be better, maybe with a few more buttons on the face (it's also dumb that it doesn't remember settings between starts). It tells you the depth or height, but on the same screen it also shows the distance to the measured point (the hypotenuse of the triangle), as well as the angle. I wish it would tell you all 3 sides of the triangle at once. Of course the third side can be calculated using trigonometry or the mode can be changed to measure the other side (height or depth). The thing is amazing for measuring interior dimensions of rooms. So much quicker and easier than a tape measure! It also seems quite accurate at shorter distances where you'd normally use a tape measure, even at a few inches, though you can't measure less than about 5 inches in front of the lens. I checked against a tape measure and it was quite close. Having said that, it's good to have a tape measure along with this, as some measurements are easier and more accurate with a tape measure, especially at short distances. Long story short, this is an amazing tool that I wish I had known about a long time ago! But it's most indispensable for surveying.

I perform inspections where I need to measure the outside perimeter of homes (on occasion interior areas). This has performed well in all kinds of weather from bright sunny days to overcast/cloudy/snowy/rainy weather and has not stopped working. On brighter days, I do help by casting a shadow over the device with my notebook. Whether this helps or not I'm not sure as it still reads both ways fairly well. I've dropped it a hand full of times on different terrain (hard and soft) and it still functions no problem. It drains the batteries quicker than I'd like, but I do use it a lot during the week. Longer measurements do take a little bit to register (on low battery) so ensuring you have spare batteries available is recommended. I own the Bosch Laser Level (which came with the smaller laser measure which got wrecked and stopped working when my basement found it during some flooding), and loved both; and now this.

Good quality but camera outer class is a flexible rubber glass. Overall recommended

Es un producto de primera, tiene muchas cualidades que están sobre la competencia, lamentablemente mi equipo venía usado, no se si aduana lo abrió y armo para probarlo o era un producto devuelto, así que opte por regresarlo

This product is perfect for indoor/outdoor measuring. Extremely accurate. Easy to use and great functionality. Photos are clear to show what you’re measuring.
