Laser rangefinders have come to replace the traditional measuring tape as they not only offer ease of measuring data but are also compact and less cumbersome to use. With laser rangefinders, the margin of errors is also reduced drastically. Xiaomi has previously launched a couple of rangefinders manufactured by its eco-chain partners. The company has now launched the first MIJIA-branded one dubbed MIJIA Smart Laser Rangefinder.

The MIJIA Smart Laser Rangefinder has only one control button that can be turned on by long-pressing it for 2 seconds. A short press starts the measurement while double-clicking the button switches the front and back benchmarks. The single-button design makes it easy to operate the device.

The body is made of lightweight aluminum alloy and high-strength engineering plastics, which not only have a matte appearance but are also more wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. After a short press to launch the gadget, it can display the current length in real-time. The rangefinder uses a precise and stable Class II laser, which is as close as 5cm and as far as 40m.

The MIJIA Smart Laser Rangefinder is equipped with dual-shot single-receiving laser heads. The complex steps of the laser emission calibration-display data series are completed in an instant, and the data accuracy can reach ±3mm, which is accurate and stable.

In addition, the gadget supports multiple functions such as connecting to mobile phones and linking with the MIJIA app to realize data synchronization, length/area/volume calculation, floor plan surveying and mapping, drawing sharing, and viewing effects.

The smart laser rangefinder has a built-in high-brightness LCD display that can display current measurement data, historical measurement data, measurement standards, units, power, and other information. In terms of battery life, the built-in 370mAh lithium battery can measure 3000 sets of data when fully charged.

As for the prices, the MIJIA Smart Laser Rangefinder is officially available on Xiaomi Youpin at a retail price of 199 yuan (~$30) while it will be sold under crowdfunding for 169 yuan (~$26). The crowdfunding will commence at 10:00 am on October 13 via Xiaomi Mall and Xiaomi Youpin.
