The laser rangefinder adopts phase optical ranging and aspherical collimating focusing lens in front of the laser device and the lens makes the laser light finer and concentrated. The lens design also improves the measurement accuracy.

Further, the Akku laser rangefinder supports four measurement modes: distance measurement, area measurement, volume measurement, and continuous measurement. The rangefinder has two modes: front reference mode and rear reference mode. When you need to stick to the frame for distance measurement, you can choose the rear reference mode to make the measurement more convenient.Akku Laser range finder
