Today’s life tools are becoming more and more advanced. For example, measuring tools, in addition to the traditional tape measure/tape measure, now more people use laser rangefinders. The advantage of the laser rangefinder is that it is easy to use and can handle more scenes. In order to keep up with the times, Tookfun today also started a rangefinder, the latest rangefinder on the Xiaomi store-DUKA LS5 touch screen laser rangefinder. After using it, it feels good. Next, let’s talk about this product!
Appearance details
The entire packaging box of the rangefinder is very small. The product rendering is printed on the front, and the functions and features of the product are on the back. Not much to say, let’s just open the box.
From the appearance design alone, LS5 maintains the consistent characteristic of the Xiaomi series-simplicity. The volume is as small as possible, and the function is as large as possible. Holding it in your hand, if you don’t tell you, you won’t be able to guess what it is.
The overall size of the LS5 is very small, and it is a little bit smaller than the current remote control and can be grasped with one hand. The overall weight is only 38g, which is about the same as the weight of a pen. It can be easily fitted into the chest pocket without being cumbersome.
The LS5 adopts an all-in-one design with a black body, which is very cool. The front of the fuselage is equipped with a 1.3-inch full touch OLED display, which is easy to operate. The practical operation is very good. The Type-C charging port is located on the side of the fuselage, and it has a built-in 280mAh battery, which can continuously measure 4000 times after a full charge.
Someone asked, how to measure distance with such a thing? The secret lies on the top of the machine. When measuring, the top laser transmitter and receiver work at the same time, respond in time, and can realize the ranging function of 0.03-40m.
Experience
LS5 supports multiple measurement methods. They are single measurement, continuous measurement, area measurement, and volume measurement.
One-key angle measurement, horizontal measurement.
One-time Pythagorean and second-time Pythagorean It’s hard to imagine, just such a thing, with so many ways to play!
Single measurement: It is the simplest distance between two points; continuous measurement is based on the measurement that can automatically display the maximum and minimum numbers. Here is a demonstration of a single measurement for everyone. In order to facilitate shooting, here is a mobile power supply as an example. It can be seen that the measurement result of LS5 is 20.8cm, which is consistent with the measurement result of the measuring tape!
In this way, we can also understand the area and volume measurement well. After measuring the length, width and height of the object, the built-in system will automatically calculate the corresponding area and volume. The result will be displayed directly on the display. Eliminates the steps for us to use a calculator, greatly improving my work efficiency.
Then there are some places that cannot be directly measured, we need a Pythagorean model. Let me demonstrate this mode to everyone, also taking the mobile power supply as an example. After standing it up, keep the LS5 and the bottom of the power bank perpendicular to each other; according to the instructions on the screen, first measure the bevel, that is, the distance between the LS5 and the top of the power bank.
Then measure the distance between LS5 and the bottom of the power bank.
Then the length of the power bank will be automatically displayed on the screen. Of course, there are certain errors in the data measured by this mode.
When the angle is not good, we can also measure through the second Pythagorean. Through the following schematic diagram, we can see its test principle. A relatively simple arithmetic formula, I won’t talk about it here.
When measuring length, LS5 supports the conversion of front reference and back reference. Simply put, the former benchmark does not convert the length of the LS5 itself, and the latter benchmark adds its own length. It can better provide the accuracy of measurement data when measuring the frame size of large buildings. When using the primary/secondary Pythagorean measurement, be sure to select the post-benchmark.
In addition to measuring length, LS5 also supports angle and levelness measurement. Before using this function, you need to calibrate it in the settings, and you can use it after calibration.
When using angle measurement, use the bottom end of LS5 as the support point. As the top end is raised, the angle between LS5 and the horizontal plane will be displayed on the screen in real time. When in use, it is directly placed on the inclined surface, and the inclination angle will be directly given.
The horizontal instrument uses the icon of concentric circles. When the swaying ball is in the middle of the circle, the surface is flat. This can directly replace the traditional bubble level.
Sum up
The DUKU LS5 laser rangefinder is a tool that integrates measurement and calculation, saving some equipment costs; compact size, very convenient to carry.
Of course, there are some problems in the use process. There are advantages and disadvantages to the use of touch screen. The physical buttons are eliminated, and the side will not be accidentally touched; but the front is easy to accidentally touch, which means that about 2/3 of the whole instrument should pay attention to the problem of accidental touch (up, down, left, and Sliding will accidentally touch). It is compact and easy to carry, but it is a bit difficult for high-frequency users to hold it and it is easy to drop.
So overall buying advice: If it is for home use or office site display purposes, this laser rangefinder is absolutely suitable; if it is a complex environment such as a construction site, it is more suitable to buy a large professional rangefinder.
