About Bosch GLM400C Blaze Outdoor 400ft Bluetooth Connected Laser Measure
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
69% appreciated the extra features, though 31% found them unnecessary
I have not tried linking it up with a phone or computer, so I have no opinion on those features.
64% appreciated the long battery life, though 36% experienced shorter battery life
The battery life is great, even when using the camera feature. I have used it on six different job sites making measurements for about an hour each time and it was only reading about half of its charge used by the end of the week.
I love that I don't have to buy batteries with this model and I haven't faced any issues with battery life.
When I use the camera/viewfinder, the battery life is very poor.
65% found the display to be clear and easy to read
I have seen the best display on this laser-distance-meter and the portrait/landscape function is genius.
During dusk and dawn periods, I can clearly see the red dot and it also works well indoors.
71% liked the rugged and durable design, but 29% experienced damage
When measuring long distances in direct sunlight, I have to wait several seconds before the distance registers and it is important to keep the unit as still as possible.
74% found it easy to operate, while 26% struggled with the interface
The laser is easy to see in most conditions and the viewfinder camera is extremely helpful.
I rely on the zoom function to get accurate measurements due to my shaky hands, especially for exterior dwelling dimensions.
This laser-distance-meter is perfect for my professional estimating, but it only interfaces with their proprietary software. To export the data, I have to pay.
When using the laser-distance-meter, it is best to stabilize it with a tripod or resting on something as hand-holding it makes it difficult to use beyond 150 feet.
69% liked the extended measuring range, but 31% found it limited
I was able to accurately find distances across 60 foot and 100 foot walls and with the 116 foot diagonal using this laser measure for my intended purpose.
I tested the laser distance meter on a bright, cloudless, sunny day at a golf course and found that it was not reading well beyond about 200 feet, and sometimes not at all.
I was unable to get a distance reading in bright sunlight at a 200 ft distance aimed at a paper plate.
