Bosch GLM400C

400' measuring tool from Bosch, works for outdoors, and well lit areas

[@Kazy_RU]

What's the difference compared to the glm 150-27 c professional?, it is just the 150 does 150m compared to 120m for this?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

That sounds about right. I'm sure the features are identical.

[@sizedgraal_yt9306]

Can you make a video showing that ?

[@jaketjmiller9459]

Any way that you could make a video showing how this device can make a detailed plan? I use this in residential back and side yards to measure the house, the fence and the area.

[@tooltipswithtommy]

Have you downloaded the Bosch measure on app? It will help laying out projects. It's a free app available on Android and iOS. It takes some getting used to, but I think it will do what you want.

[@jaketjmiller9459]

I did download the app but have not found good directions or tutorial on how to operate it to do the detailed drawing.

[@tooltipswithtommy]

@@jaketjmiller9459 i will try to do a video, that shows the basic functions, and use of the app.

tool tips with tommy Awesome!!!

[@tooltipswithtommy]

I made a video for outdoor use. Hope it helps you

[@user-uv7lp7eg3t]

Is there any key combination to change reference from rear to front and back quickly?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

I don't think so. Older devices had a dedicated button for that. I'll do some research.

Hi Tommy, This video was extremely helpful thank you. Can you please tell me if this tool will be useful for outdoor pipe measurement? I want to measure end to end of the pipes, will the view finder be helpful for this application?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

that would depend on a couple things, diameter, and available light. being a camera, it needs light, and you'd have to be able to see the actual spot you're measuring. so the bigger the pipe, the better. i'm assuming you want to look straight down the pipe?

[@sizedgraal_yt9306]

can you take area from a building ?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

Yes it will do area, or volume.

[@toothrockrattlesnakecreek1728]

The new model (GLM400CL) has a Lithium battery. Will this work in the 400c?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

i don't think it will, they have different battery compartments.

[@courtneycharles4631]

How do I use the Bluetooth?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

From the opening screen, Tap the upper right settings button, toggle to Bluetooth and turn it on. By default this unit turns Bluetooth off to save batteries. So you'll have to turn it on every time you power it up. When it's on, you have to have the Bosch app on your phone, or tablet, and pair it like you'd do with any Bluetooth device.

[@zainjeddah5502]

Which one is better? GLM 400C or GLM 165-27CG ?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

I personally like the 400 better, but it's a matter of use. The 400 is better for outdoor use. More distance and the camera function. But the 165 is more compact and works excellently for indoor applications

charging? batteries?

[@tooltipswithtommy]

Bosch does sell a version of this, that has a built in lithium ion battery, that charges with A USB cable. Is that what you're asking

Make a video on how to calculate irregular rectangle or triangle area with this???

[@tooltipswithtommy]

let me look into this, i honestly don't think it is capable of such equations.

[@techmind3713]

@@tooltipswithtommy means we unable to find the area???

[@tooltipswithtommy]

It will do square feet, and area, assuming the walls are close to perpendicular. Things get a little tougher when you start to talk triangles.

[@techmind3713]

@@tooltipswithtommy tq for replied to my queries. Once make a video on area. While calculating area, which problem we have to face??.

I’m an Appraiser Trainee, I was wondering if this is a good model for appraiser work when it comes to measuring the GLA of a home?

[@despoticwolf]

Where's the reference to a tape measure

[@tooltipswithtommy]

Can you elaborate? Tape measure, would just be live measurements. Or the default when you power it on.

[@despoticwolf]

@@tooltipswithtommy yes, some live measurements, can I trust the accuracy?... I want to get one and use it to measure my drone in the sky... great video, thanks

[@tooltipswithtommy]

That might be tough. The drones are usually pretty small, and the higher they go, the harder it will be. It's accurate to 1/16th inch.
