Leica DISTO S910 and X4: How to easily capture a plot of land

[@dallen521]

Where are the azimuths coming from? What accuracy? Do you get to put in height to centre of prism, and height of disto above station?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

All measurements transmitted into the DISTO Plan App are possible thanks to the inclination sensors, encoders for horizontal angle measurement and rotation measurement inside of the DST 360 adapter, respectively inside of DISTO S910. The height differences between the single points are based on the first measured point and the default height cannot be adjusted by a predefined value. Accuracy is 10 mm at 10 meters and angle accuracy is 0.2°.

quick question, does X3 and DST360 do the same? mostly my work is As Built measuring inside of a House and outside flat work. thanks

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Hi, yes, the DISTO X3 in combination with the DST 360 adapter is capable of Point-to-Point measurements. These measurements are therefore possible.

[@arteytacos]

after many day look into this Disto p2p and new and old something is off, how the new x6 is 1,660 kit. the s910 kit is 1990 or more and the x4 kit is even more or the same. something just don't make sense, I think I will keep using my Disto D5, if a new model with all the improvements cost less than a old model this is weird. right?

[@39kimimaru]

Hello. Thanks for all the info provided on the vídeo, I hope you can help me with this doubt. Can I use the Leica X4 with the FTA 360 Adapter?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Hi, yes, DISTO X4 and FTA 360 are compatible. If you want to use P2P measurements, you would have to use the DST 360 adapter, as the FTA 360 is only a passive positioning adapter and does not have the necessary sensors and encoders that the DST 360 has.

[@39kimimaru]

@@LeicaGeosystemsCH It is a pleasure to receive your response. I am already enlightened to do my shopping. thank you so much

[@arteytacos]

@@LeicaGeosystemsCH or you can use the FTA 360-S, Right?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

@@arteytacos Hi, yes, the DISTO S910 is compatible with the FTA 360-S adapter. The DISTO X4 needs a different adapter, the DST 360.

[@alostudiosnet]

quick question. I would say any Disto do interior or exterior dimension to produce a As-Built Floor plan. I am happy with any. my questions is what Disto is less cost to produce the point on the hard scape, the outside amenities is where I have hard time and is time consuming trying to get the curb of existing concrete or pool. thank you. I was thinking X3 but the DST360 cost $730.00 and uP. Thank you in advance for your time.

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

hi, if you want to make indirect measurements between two or more points, you need to use the DST adapter. This adapter allows point-to-point measurements and is therefore indispensable for this type of measurement. If you do not need to make point-to-point measurements, the DISTO X3 itself will serve you well, especially in combination with the DISTO Plan App: shop.leica-geosystems.com/global/measurement-tools/disto/leica-disto-plan-app#tutorials

[@alostudiosnet]

@@LeicaGeosystemsCH Thank you Sir. I am buying the DISTO X3.

[@patrice373]

0:34 "The measurement of the first 2 points latter provides the reference height or X-axis of the plan" ... didn't you mean "and" not "or" ? Also, I'm not sure how you get the XY coordinates of each point, I thought that was the job of Total Stations....

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Yes, you are right. We will correct at least in the captions. Depending what export format you choose from DISTO Plan app, you will get either a 2D plan with dimensions and area information or a 3D CAD file with all the measured points also with height information.

[@patrice373]

@@LeicaGeosystemsCH Yes, the file format, but I hadn't realized there was a little motorised monopod capturing 2 rotations. I understand that's how the Disto can calculate a 3D coordinate. That's awesome ... I will get one.

[@garyseymour954]

Good to see a video showing measuring in the field, have an x4 and used it several times to measure gardens and driveways. Export works well. Seeing the red dot is difficult and the screen is not great. But a lot cheaper than a total station.

[@gacokwaci737]

How to measure the plan with different benchmark? I mean if i must moving the disto x4/s910 to other posisition to continue measure the next point.

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

@@gacokwaci737 Sorry for the late response. I saw the question today by chance. There is no specific function for this. But for any measurement the first 2 measured points are defining the 0/0/0 point and the x-axis. So just start again with the same first two points and you can later adjust the layouts to each other in the CAD system.

[@kateshaw9549]

Could you possibly put the target plate on a tripod too? Just wondering if this could be achieved with just 1 person doing the measurements?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Theoretically, this would be possible if a timer were used where the user can set the trigger time to 2, 5, 10 or 30 seconds. However, it is always more efficient and accurate to carry out this type of measurement with the help of another person.

[@granrey]

suggestion, most people are looking for solutions to work alone and minimize labor. You should be able to pause while measuring.

[@betterdeadthanred4196]

Can you write the model name of the target plate used in this video?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Here is the link to the used target plate: shop.leica-geosystems.com/ca/buy/accessories/tpd-100-kit

[@granrey]

is there a time limit between measurement?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Once the DISTO connects to the DISTO Plan App and the connection is established, there is no upper limit between measurements, provided the batteries are sufficiently charged.

[@granrey]

@LeicaGeosystemsCH So it's possible for one person to do this instead of 2? I mean you could stand the target pole on its own straight with a holder device and then head back to the device?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

@@granrey Yes, it is theoretically possible to carry out these measurements with just one person.

[@abulazad5989]

can we get it Real time coordinate or how can impute coordinate.

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

This DISTO™ S910 function allows to create a DXF file for further use. For further developments this might be an interesting feature. Thank you for your feedback.

[@rajendrameena150]

How it is different from Android apps that use gps to measure any type of irregular area with hundreds or 1000 points just by holding your phone and make a walk around the perimeter of the area.

[@rajendrameena150]

I used "GPS field area measure" app and it gives decent result, now if I try same measurement with leica meter, what benefit I will get in terms of accuracy ? and at the cost of making such setup, why a person will leave the easyness of just using app and cost effective free solution.

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

@@rajendrameena150 Hi, the choice between a GPS-based solution and our Leica DISTO laser distance meters really depends on the level of accuracy and the specific workflows you need for your job. GPS-based apps operate on satellite positioning, and their precision can be affected by various factors such as signal strength, environmental conditions, or the quality of the GPS signal. Due to these variables, we cannot accurately determine the exact precision of these apps. On the other hand, our Leica DISTO devices are engineered for high precision, offering measurement accuracy within ±1.0 mm at 10 meters. This level of accuracy is essential for tasks where precise measurements are critical, such as in construction, surveying, and interior design.

[@telliott5804]

I have a disto x4 p2p and I'm trying to take a land survey with height differences. From the video description it appears that I can do that in p2p plan function and export raw 3d. I have don't this and am trying to import it into Archicad and all I'm getting are the 2d lines without any height information or 3d view. Is there any further information you can give me that might help? Thanks in advance. Tom

Hi Elliot, did you get this to work and is it successful when modelling a site in BIM. Thanks.

[@Adam-ui3ot]

Does this work with the 510?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Sorry, no.

[@fernandopinto4825]

Why is impossible use leica d810?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

The DISTO D810 has no angle sensor inside and are not able to measure therefore P2P.

[@aadilreshi9379]

Can it measure infinite points?

[@LeicaGeosystemsCH]

Yes, there is no limitation of points.
