About this product

The Leica DISTO X1 is a laser distance meter built for tough interior construction sites. Indoor site work is hard on instruments, with drops, dust and water all common, so a meter that keeps measuring accurately under those conditions saves the rework and downtime that follow a damaged or unreliable tool.

The Leica DISTO X1 measures distance with a typical accuracy of plus or minus 1.5 mm to ISO 16331-1, the standard that defines how laser distance meter accuracy and range are determined, over a range of 0.05 up to 100 m. Measuring units are m, ft and in, and X-Range Power Technology supports performance over the full range of the Leica DISTO X1, with reference distances at 10, 50 and 100 m and a laser dot of 6, 30 and 60 mm at those distances. The display is illuminated for readability in poor light.

Connectivity is by Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC, the latter giving a simplified tap-to-connect link to the Leica DISTO Plan app for quick data transfer, visualisation and documentation; free Windows software and an iOS and Android app are also available. The housing of the Leica DISTO X1 is rated IP65 and is drop tested from 2 m. The Leica DISTO X1 runs up to 7,000 measurements or up to 14 hours on 2 x AAA 1.5 V batteries, weighs 129 g with batteries and measures 125 x 53.5 x 25.5 mm.

The Leica DISTO X1 is supplied by BAMR, South Africa's authorised distributor.

How does laser dot size affect measurement precision?

Laser dot diameter grows with distance: 6 mm at 10 m, 30 mm at 50 m, 60 mm at 100 m. This affects precision when measuring small features or tight spaces.

Is the DISTO X1 built for rough construction sites?

Yes. IP65 protection against dust and water, plus 2 m drop-tested. Specified for tough interior construction environments.

How long do batteries last on site?

Up to 14 hours per battery set, delivering up to 7,000 measurements. Uses standard AAA batteries (2 × 1.5 V).

Can I transfer measurements to my phone or computer?

Yes. Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC wireless connectivity to Windows software, iOS, or Android apps for data management.
