The Leica DISTO D810 Touch is a Class II laser distance measurer rated to ±1/16" accuracy across an 820-foot measurement range, paired with a 4x optical point finder camera and a resistive touchscreen interface — the latter enabling the proprietary "Measure with Picture" function that overlays measurement data directly on a captured image of the target environment. The 1mW laser output meets Class II safety standards with no special controls required. IP54 certification provides meaningful environmental protection for construction and facilities use — the device tolerates dust and splash exposure that would compromise lower-rated instruments. The bundled kit adds the FTA360 tilt adapter and TRI70 tripod, transforming the handheld unit into a stable platform capable of 360° tilt-sensor-assisted indirect measurements — a critical capability for applications where direct line-of-measurement is obstructed.
This package is specified for professionals who need more than a basic point-and-shoot distance meter: surveyors documenting large floor plans, facilities engineers measuring structural spans and clearances, construction project managers capturing as-built dimensions, and AV or staging teams planning installations in large venues. The tripod-mounted configuration with tilt sensor enables height calculations, area measurements, and Pythagorean indirect distance functions from a fixed station — capabilities that matter when you cannot physically access both endpoints of a measurement. Bluetooth Smart 4.0 connectivity to iOS and Windows platforms integrates into CAD, BIM, and facilities management documentation workflows, pushing measurements directly into the record without manual re-entry. For teams that require traceable calibration documentation, independent NIST-traceable calibration services will be required, as the unit does not ship with a calibration certificate.
