That's an odd brand. I didn't find any reviews on it. What do you think? Have you got one?

Thanks for the link.

Google Earth, measure distance.

My Disto is much better than the old one. It has a video screen. It reduces slope to horizontal and vertical. It has a tripod. It doesn't go 2000 feet, though. 300 feet and change to a light target flat to the laser.

This one looks like it meets your specs, its even called a total station!

That looks like a rebranded Disto/adapter combination. I wonder how it orients the compass? My Disto E7500 doesn't do compass.

Nate: My Disto is very capable and has much better specs than your older unit. 600' range best case. Does verticals. Awesome.

Unfortunately, Disto does not talk to the LS like one of the Bosch handheld units, does, allegedly. I have to do offsets manually.

JA, PLS SoCal

No Natester I do not own one. I remembered it from a Korean shopping site I visit. ???? 

Check out the Hilti PD-E. I am using a Hilti PD-I and it works well in the salt mine at distances to 300 feet. It also has a bunch of functions that may come in handy.

A side note

The Engineer who had a Survey License that I worked for in the early 80s wanted to buy one of these types of range finders to use with a Berger transit instead of an actual Total Station.

We had over 10 miles of Meander Boundary to locate around a 255 acre lake.

I rented a Topcon TS and we finished the project within 3 weeks and I had to supply the canoe to work out of.

Thank you, Bill.
