Xiaomi has launched a laser rangefinder
under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The product is known as Akku Laser
range finder and is easy to operate with just two buttons. The device also
comes with a 50m range. It adopts a retail price of 119 yuan (US$ 17).
The Akku 50m laser rangefinder can achieve
measurement swiftly in just 0.2 seconds. It also comes with dual singe-double
receive mode including dual laser tubes. With this design, users can
simultaneously undertake two measurements at the same time.
The laser rangefinder adopts phase optical
ranging and aspherical collimating focusing lens in front of the laser device

improves the measurement accuracy.
Further, the Akku laser rangefinder
supports four measurement modes: distance measurement, area measurement, volume
measurement, and continuous measurement. The rangefinder has two modes: front
reference mode and rear reference mode. When you need to stick to the frame for
distance measurement, you can choose the rear reference mode to make the
measurement more convenient.
In terms of the build, the laser
rangefinder weighs just 100 grams which is quite light and convenient to carry
around. The body is made of ABS + TPE engineering plastic, which is sturdy and
durable and has good dust resistance. The rugged, compact and portable design
ensures it is comfortable to hold and won’t slip from the hand easily. There
are just two buttons on the body; the power button and a function button. The
device is also equipped with a 31x27mm electronic screen which supports
high-definition backlight display and can be clearly seen in dark environments.
In terms of battery life, the rangefinder
is equipped with two AAA batteries as standard, which can meet the needs of
2,000 measurements.
