Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations transit or laser level

I have a Spectra L220 or something like that. I bought it off Ebay for around $200 a few years ago after loosing out on actions for half a year. People on Ebay drive me crazy bidding up the price five days before it ends, but that's another story.

Mine is good out to 500 feet in any dirction any time of the day or night. Once set up, it's perfectly lever in all directions.

You just set lever with your rod and the reader tells you when your level or up and down some. Than you just walk and measure. It's very simple and easily a one man job.

I measured off the shore to my lake using it as far as I could see through a trail I cut throught the trees. Than I marked it with some orange flags and started taking out all the trees inside those flage. Really nice.

If you need goggles or have to do it at night, it's not a quality unit. Look around at the better lazers and you'll see the difference. Expect to pay several hundred dollars for a good used one. New could easily be double that.
