Forward

I have a friend who specializes in home improvement design, his side is busy, sometimes the manpower to take care of the time will call me to help, I have time to go to earn some extra money, of course, due to professional unrelated, I can only play a hand, such as to the house, home ah size, in order to facilitate a more accurate home customization.

However, in the process of measuring, in the face of some small size measurements, my tape measure is enough, such as door frames, window frames, but to measure the whole house frame, the tape measure distance is not enough to measure the difficulty is not allowed, for the late some private customization has brought some difficulties. So I went on a hu, look at the majority of users have no good product recommendations, after a search, I found this product from the millet products - ATuManLS5 laser rangefinder, after the use of the hand, the feeling is good, the brick moving also smooth, next, let's have a good chat about this product.

Open a box

The entire box is very small, the front printed product rendering, the back is the product's functions and features, without further ado, we directly open the box.
In addition to the product itself, there is a charging cable, a manual and a certificate of conformity.

The LS5 is compact in size, like a remote control for a PowerPoint presentation or a large commercially available Snickers bar, and can be held in one hand. The overall weight of the LS5 is only 38g, which is about the same as a pen, making it easy to fit in a breast pocket without being too cumbersome.

LS5 body has a unibody design, black shell, cool flavor, and when I use it, the masters ask me what good stuff I use.

The Type-C charging port is located on one side of the body, and the front of the body is equipped with a 1.3-inch full-touch OLED display, which is simple, straightforward, and very good for hands-on use.

Some people ask how to measure the distance with such a thing, the secret is hidden at the top, when measuring, the top laser transmitter and receiver work at the same time, responding in time, and can realize the distance measuring function of 0.03-40m.

In addition to the direct measurement of distance after the LS5 has some operation, from the exterior design alone, the LS5 maintains the usual characteristics - simplicity, as small as possible, functionality as large as possible, holding in the hand, if you do not talk to you, guessing do not necessarily guess what it is.

Having said that, let's take a look at the LS5's “black technology”.

hands-on experience

LS5 supports a total of multiple measurement methods, which are single measurement, continuous measurement, area measurement, and volume measurement.

One-touch angular height measurement, horizontal measurement.

Primary hooks as well as secondary hooks, it's hard to imagine that just one of these things comes with so much play.

Single measurement, is the simplest distance between two points; continuous measurement is on top of it after the measurement can automatically display the maximum and minimum number, here to give you a demonstration of the single measurement, in order to facilitate the shooting, here to rechargeable treasure as an example, you can see that the LS5 measurement result is 20.8cm, which is in line with the measurement results of the ordinary ruler.

In this way, then, the area and volume measurement we will be able to understand very well, after measuring the length, width and height of the object, the built-in system will automatically calculate the corresponding area and volume, the results will be shown directly on the display, directly eliminating the need for us to use a calculator step, greatly improving my work efficiency.

In home improvement, according to the size of the house type and the needs of the householder, we may have to lead from certain places out of a “line”, this situation in the installation of suspended ceilings in general more, this time, we need to use this primary / secondary hook, to measure this “line “This is a common situation when installing suspended ceilings.

Here on this mode, I'll give you a demonstration, again using the rechargeable as an example, after standing it up, then keeping the LS5 and the bottom of the rechargeable perpendicular to each other, and according to the instructions on the screen, measure the diagonal edge first, i.e., the distance between the LS5 and the top of the rechargeable.

Then measure the distance between the LS5 and the bottom of the charger.

Then the screen will automatically display the length of the rechargeable battery, the distance is too close, there is a certain error.

When the angle is not good, we can also be measured by the quadratic hook, through the following schematic, we will be able to see the principle of its test, a relatively simple arithmetic formula, here I will not say more.

When measuring the length, LS5 supports the conversion of the front datum and the back datum, which simply means that the front datum does not convert the length of LS5 itself, while the back datum is to add its own length, which can better provide the accuracy of the measurement data when measuring the frame dimensions of a large building, and always choose the back datum when measuring with a primary/secondary hook and loop.

In addition to measuring length, the LS5 also supports angular and horizontal measurements. Before using this function, you need to calibrate it inside the settings, and you can use it after calibration.

When using the angle measurement, the bottom of the LS5 is used as a support point, and as the top is raised, the angle between the LS5 and the horizontal plane is displayed on the screen in real time, and the angle of inclination is given directly by placing it directly on the inclined surface when using it.

The leveling instrument uses a concentric circle illustration, when the wobbly ball is located in the middle-most circle, then the surface when the plane is very flat, very flat, this can be a direct replacement for the kind of traditional construction site with a bubble level meter.

From the overall use of point of view, LS5 set of measurements, calculations in one, the original “eight people's work, a person to finish”, eliminating some of the equipment consumption, compact size, carry very convenient, put in your pocket can go, the construction site in the time we are still busy carrying tools, we have this direct measurement of the data on the way out, the boss! directly exclaimed “good guy”.

sum up

ATuMan LS5 laser rangefinder as a set of great in one of the small objects, so that my bricks to move a lot easier than usual, minimalist appearance, hard body, anti-scratch and anti-dusting; full-screen maneuvering, the display is simple and clear, the data that is measured that is displayed, the key moment a moment without delay; built-in 280mAh battery, a full of 4,000 times a continuous measurement; daily storage and carry are very convenient.

The LS5 is a bit of a big deal when it comes to measuring small objects, such as if you want to measure the length of your cell phone, of course you can opt for a primary/quadratic hook and loop for the arithmetic test, but it's still more convenient to take a ruler type of measurement in comparison.
