Laser level (leveling instrument) is an excellent measurement app equipped with: laser pointer, regular 3-mode spirit level / bubble level (libella) and clinometer (inclinometer) for measuring vertical angles and determining the exact horizontal plane. It's perfect, handy and precise bubble level tool for every handyman. Main modes of this laser level: - innovative laser leveling / laser pointer - using built-in sensors (gyroscope and accelerometer), camera and extended / augmented reality, helps you to determine the vertical and horizontal levels around you, - regular spirit level (bubble level, libella) - works like a traditional bubble level tool, place your smartphone or tablet, on the surface or on the object to be measured or set at any angle, - clinometer, also called an inclinometer, is primarily used to measure vertical angles and to determine the angle of inclination of any object from the vertical determined by the gravitational force. These modes are equipped in precision digital and analog indicators. Data are presented in degrees and percentages and any different units which you choose. Additional features, you can: - calibrate level of your device, - adjust the precision of measurement, - read data in different units, - lock the orientation, - take pictures while measuring and you can send measurement results to anyone, - this app does not require internet access. Sample applications: - you can measure the angle or inclination of any objects (including distant), such as roof, buildings, columns, mountains, trees, etc. - you can set any angle of inclination of the surface and the level of home installed appliances, devices, such as: install a refrigerator, washing machine or hang a shelf, painting etc. - suitable for repair and construction work, you can use it as a digital measuring tape or laser measuring tape, - useful for interior design, exterior works, in house and in garden, - many others. You can use this leveling application wherever you are. This level app is accurate, intuitive, easy to use and very functional. We wish you successful and accurate measurements.

About

Precision Transit Level mini

This app uses LiDAR and augmented reality to measure distances, slopes, and levels in your environment. Place virtual measuring sticks to calculate rise, run, and deflection for precise construction or landscaping tasks.

Highlights

  • Virtual measuring sticks
  • Calculate slope, rise, and run
  • Real-time HUD
  • Auto Zoom
  • Step-by-step navigation
Read full description

LiDAR, along with mixed reality technology lets you place two measuring sticks right in the scene from the camera. It accurately reads both the horizontal and vertical differences between the two points generating for you the run, the rise, the slope, and the deflection of the mid point. Easily dig ditches and install drains with precise slope. With a range to target up to 18 feet(6 meters), you can shoot grade right from your seat on the back-hoe(or whatever). A max range of 100 meters thanks to the device constantly updating its position with the Augmented Reality interface. - Super fast start up each time, picks up where you left off. - Single screen with Heads Up Display(HUD) for realtime operation. - Auto Zoom toggles anytime. - Six step navigation lets you advance one step at time forward with the "GO" button and the same for the "BACK" button. GET STARTED Step 1 - Set origin: Aim the red pointer for the target and tap "GO". Remember you are placing a measuring stick here, not a micrometer. If you are not satisfied, tap "BACK". It is real easy to do over. Step 1 - Neutral: The measuring stick is now fixed but will still rotate to face you. This is a good time to adjust the "WATER" level ,if needed, with the stepper in the upper left-hand corner of the view. Notice how the water "puddles" so you can see low spots that might not be noticed. When you go up with the water level it advances one inch at a time. Notice how it "fills" the scene and wraps around irregular shapes with ease for easy marking. You can either watch your own hand in the scene, or you can guide an assistant to the right position. Step 2 - Set length: Two more measuring sticks are now active. Stretch it to right place and tap "GO". You have a dashboard gauge in the upper right-hand corner for the "Ruler". This is the actual distance between the two points. In the bottom left-hand corner there is "LENGTH" which is the horizontal distance between the two points. Below it is the "SLOPE" which gives the angle in degrees between the two points. 0.6 degrees is 1/8 inch per foot. 1.2 degrees is 1/4 inch per foot. The bottom most gauge on the right is the "LEVEL". This is the vertical distance between the two points. Step 2 - Neutral: Everything is frozen for closer inspection and evaluation. Step 3 - Set Width: The width can be stretched in either direction off the baseline. The "SLOPE" gauge transforms to "WIDTH". Step 3 - Neutral: Adjust the "HEIGHT" , if needed, with stepper in the upper right-hand corner. It increments one inch at a time. The box stays on top of the water. The two gauges in the bottom right corner are for "AREA"(represented in square feet or square meters), and the "VOLUME" one uses cubic yards, or cubic meters. A LiDAR-equipped device is recommended.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pocket Laser Level at 4.7 against Precision Transit Level mini's 3.3. Pocket Laser Level also leads on ratings volume (261 vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.3). Precision Transit Level mini's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
