200 Laser Rangefinder (FT/YDS Only)

The item had a defective LCD - LED screen and was returned.

This does all I need it to do and is very accurate. I am measuring overhead utilities like luminaire heights and transmission line heights. I tested horizontal distance accuracy at 30 feet and it was within inches. I only require one foot accuracy. In the field I measured some items three ways - Vertical Distance (VD) where you point the laser at the object from some distance away and it tells you the vertical distance from where you are standing. Height Routine (HT) where you shoot the laser at a pole (click) aim at the bottom of the pole (click) (laser off) aim at the top of the pole (click) (laser off) then it tells you the height. Slope Distance (SD) which tells you the distance from the TruPulse to the object. The agreement between these methods was very good. This gave me the confidence that I could measure the height of a luminaire without needing to stand in a traffic lane directly under the luminaire to do so.I can't speak to the reliability or durability of this instrument since I have not had it long. Others have said theirs failed when it got seriously wet so I will try to avoid having that happen.

The Tru Pulse 200 fulfills our needs for a project that we are working on in SSM. Our Field Designers are tagged with the task of collecting Pole profiles for Aerial Fibre Design. These include Span Measurements and Height of Attachment. The Tru Pulse fills these requirements adequately. The unit is compact and relatively light weight. It has been dependable in most situations. Heavy leaf cover and some weather conditions affect the unit but all in all, a very dependable tool for Aerial Design.

Owned this unit for 18 months and have used other before that. I've used it to measure 1000s of tree heights. When I purchased mine, the manual said it was "sealed against dust and water." Now their ads say water resistant. As a forester, I'm often caught in the rain. Using this alongside a competitors unit in a light rain, theirs worked and mine failed. When I sent it in for repairs (6 mos out of warranty) I was told it was fried from water damage and would cost over $600 to repair. Weak performance on the part of the instrument and the company. For this use,this unit offers little in the way of advantages over the competition, cost nearly twice as much, and needs to be protected against rain. Serious strikes, in my opinion.

I am a timber cruiser in the pacific NW and this laser is the best for what I need it for. 9 out of 10 cruisers I work with use this tool daily.I bought my first trupulse in 2007 and its still rockin. This laser has been reliable in the worst weather and harshest conditions. The Olympic peninsula is the most rugged place to cruise timber, hands down. We are warriors up here compared to anywhere else in the US.

The best part of this product is the short range distance measurements and the quick three step height.Using it for telephone pole line construction.Laser Technology TruPulse 200 Laser Range Finders 7005025

I used it to measure cell tower height and antennae height. Met the tower company standards

Excellent delivery! I don`t know anything about the product because this is a Chrsitmas present for someone else. But I heard a lot of great things about this product.
