I'm looking to buy a digital level and the brand name and price point of the Leica Sprinter 150m and 250m are pretty appealing. Does anyone use these on a regular basis? Are they more construction-grade than survey-grade? The specs show it to be pretty accurate in comparison to the more expensive options.

I am curious. ?ÿI see an offer at Amazon for $100/month for twelve months from WU TECHNOLOGIES in Florida. ?ÿAnybody have experience with these folks? ?ÿI did not see a website after a quick search...

I have a 250m and have used it quite a bit. When I bought it, it had better specs than anything close in price. Better than the Topcon/Sokia, Spectra, or Geomax units. ?ÿTo get better is a huge step up in price for a Leica.?ÿ

I like it a lot. It save me from the common rod read blunders, runs a simple program that downloads a traditional looking set of level notes into an excel spreadsheet, and gives me great closures.?ÿ

No complaints whatsoever.?ÿ

That's good to hear. Do you know how many pins the Lemo port is? It's the round external port for transferring data, but I can't find how many pins it has anywhere in the Leica documentation. I'd like to hook up a serial to bluetooth adapter to it.
