The image on the DISTO screen can be magnified 4 X, The screen is full colour and has a sensor to automatically adjust the contrast and brightness.
- Tree and Cable Heights: The accurate 360° angle measure, combined with a little bit of Leica programming ensures that heights of trees and cables can be measured easily without the need to reflect a laser off difficult surface. Heights of buildings, roof slopes and roof lengths are easy with the Leica DISTO ™ D8 laser measure.
- Data transfer: The Leica DISTO ™ D8 has integrated BLUETOOTH® technology. Measurements can be transferred wirelessly and accurately to a windows based mobile computer such as Pocket PCs and mobile laptops. The FREE software includes an AutoCAD® plug-In and interface to all other windows and Vista applications. Integration is easy, and our technical team is always available to assist. Call 0800 292 2188 for support.

What our customers say about the Leica DISTO D8 and our service
Leica have produced the greatest ever laser measure. The Leica DISTO ™ D8 is the answer to all of my wishes. I congratulate the design team and thank you for your technical help. Your knowledge has helped me get the most from my investment. I have tried the interface between the DISTO ™ D8 and Autocad. It was easy to set up and works well. I carry my Leica DISTO ™ D8 everywhere. Many thanks again.
Zak Mellor – London Surveyor - October 2009
The Leica DISTO ™ D8 has changed how we work. As described it easily interfaced with the PDA running the Cad software. The new angle measure functions have saved us time and reduced the need to climb ladders. If you need a product reference, tell them the Leica DISTO ™ D8 is fantastic for the size and great value. Great service as well, I appreciate you spending the time to explain the functions so clearly.
Michael Smith - Architectural Services - Stratford Upon Avon
