Review: New Leica DISTO D2 w/ Bluetooth 4.0 & Sketch App

[@aetherguy881]

Thanks for showing the Bluetooth and app!

[@jason13533]

I’m trying to calibrate, I’m a joiner as well, I noticed, it is out to my tape by 1mm over shorter distances

[@stace2953]

Do you know how to calubrate them as mine in new but 10mm out.. Thanks

[@ramym55]

How to change to metric?

[@thelast929]

Can you use it with a stick?

[@Jez1963UK]

Shame this device doesn't have the level horizontal distance built into the Disto X310. I find it is very easy to not hold a Disto horizontally, so having the device know it's level correction is really important I feel. I just need an X310 but with Bluetooth :(

Thanks for your video. I'm going to buy a D2 tomorrow. Greetings from Germany

[@Advanceddimensions]

Glad you enjoyed the video! How's the D2 working for you?

[@awsnmv]

So far it is working great and it fits all my requirements. Only the IOS Sketch App could use some improvements. Thanks to you and your Video I was able to start right away after receiving. Again, big thanks.

[@Advanceddimensions]

No, thank you! Best part of my job!

[@amry2050]

AdvancedDimensions.com can i measure in meter on the screen?

[@grantarmstrong7268]

Using the DISTO Sketch APP, if you export a plan to PDF, does the app nag you to pay per month to do that? When set to display feet - inches - fractions, do the fractions display correctly such as 19/32 using the most common denomitor? I have the DISTO X4 and for instance, I was measuring something and got 5' 7" 20/32. It should have read 5' 7' 5/8. I am returning the DISTO X4 solely for this reason.

[@d1ndark25]

Did you find one that does tape measure fractions and not 32s?

[@newrevivalist]

As another cabinet guy, I'm looking for a unit that does two things: 1. Easy to read even in low light 1. choose fractional rounding. I do not want to have to round from 32nds to eighths or at least 1/6. Does this Leica unit do this or are you stuck on 32ds. I have too much to think about whan I'm measuring a kitchen, especially with the client hanging around me.

[@d1ndark25]

Did you find one that is more tape measure friendly I hate trying to convert 32s in my head..

Hi! I need a laser distance meter that can transfer measurement values to excel, or google sheets, and automatically change for the next cell, so i can measure a lot without touching the laptop, or phone or tablet. Can Leica devices do that? (I don't need any other features such as area, volume, horizont etc.)

[@zsoltibitter8761]

I know its old response but all the Leica Disto D2 does is transfers measurement results over bluetooth. its the receiving softwares job to process the received data. So in order to gather the measurement values into an excel table the MS excel software should support the rangefinder and should have code to process the data.

[@robertanthonyross]

How do you change the unit

[@STV-H4H]

hold down both + and - buttons. It will change units from metric, to feet to inches and feet+inches.

[@abigailvela8230]

this devise is compatible to xactware?

[@mikeyd3md]

Are you sure that opening is 109”. It looks barely 20”. Unless those studs are 4’ apart and the is elevation is 30’...? Is there a “pop-up” feature that helps audit mistakes ?

[@toosicc2true]

He was just showing an example and took a random measurement.

[@stace2953]

Mines 10mm out I don't know how to find out how to calibrate it....

[@HarveyJohnWillmott]

You need to send it back. That’s way out of tolerance

[@matthasemeyer4300]

Please set the unit on a table and pre-set the focus. Having it blur so often gets a bit frustrating. Otherwise, thanks for the vid!

[@STV-H4H]

Can't help but notice the only questions replied to by author are to the persons indicating buying this devise. I just bought mine two days ago and am online seeking info to use it, and while I managed to gain some of what I needed, it's still lacking. And the constant out of focus image is unprofessional and irritating. As for the Leica D2, it is absolutely better than the bosche version I owned a few years ago, which was so inaccurate I deliberately left it behind on the last jobsite, and only regretted not saving the batteries.

[@zsoltibitter8761]

Do you still have this D2? if yes, could you please check yours how the stake-out function is working? I mean when i choose the stake out function and set the preset value then push ON DIST to start measuring the bottom line on the display is not showing zero value and thus the first measurement when it reaches zero by moving Leica D2 will not match the preset value distance set, only the second and consecutive measurements will mach the multiply of the preset value. I dont know why it is not zeroed out when i start the measurement in stake out function. Hows yours? I would appreciate your response, thank you

[@arthurbond5905]

i have original large version. need to change batteries . bought i vegas at cpt show 2002

[@GS-yg9wk]

no socket to attach to a tripod. I'm disappointed

[@johannastardust]

Yep

[@sdfgsdfg9549]

On site, its sketch up will be too cumbersome for me to use. I rather draw, measure & write and its done. With this one it seems I need to take pic, play with bluetooth if its connected, draw the line , measure, check if its right, save etc. Must admit its very fancy though. Plus, bluetooth connectivity willjust kill the battery of your tablet or phone.

[@HAlariousInc]

Bluetooth 4.0 is really energy efficient and unless you’re using a smartphone/tablet from 2008 I don’t see this “killing” your battery

[@williamskobeleff899]

cant use it during the day because you cannot see the Laser at all and i sleep at night so was a waste 0f 200 bux ..needs a more powerfull laser YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE.

[@이원재-d2i]

좋아요 현장에서 혼자 실측하는데 편해요

[@ashiqiqbal75]

এই মেসিনের দাম কত?

[@ashiqiqbal75]

price

[@old-hippy]

accuracy drops just after the warranty ends

[@Jay-gs5xg]

John Gardner Looks like we have a Bosch employee checking out the competition.

[@old-hippy]

WTF? Don’t hide behind a pseudonym and snipe! I bought it from Screwfix locally, why don’t you fix it or replace it. I gave up on Bosch when they outsourced their tools and the quality plummeted too...

[@rshawhan1]

I Love my Disto D2! - so much that I linked my drawing App, GraphPad to it. Here's the link to a video of how GraphPad works with my D2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmLJiKqKht2MftU
