@@bodgeitwithbrian That kind of is not good enough, it has been eleven months now, you can correct this information especially since you list it as a big reason you would choose one over another.
Regardless, I've not found the feature on the Bosch, it's easier to use on this device which significantly better value. My option is Bosch is not better just more expensive
You're still not getting it, you should want to get your facts right, pushing the function button till it reads "the dotted lines and up arrow" isn't something you have to find. It is there, we told you it is there, the manual says it is there, and if you push the button, it clearly does it. What is "to find"? I'll leave my thumbs down as it is since it seems justified if you are going to spout non-factual things about your "reviews". Not to mention asking for comments if you missed anything, and when we help you better the review, you disregard it because you feel like it. Moving on, you're not going to improve.
My point is it the bosh is not intuitive, in my opinion. I can't correct the video even if I wanted to, this is what the comments section is for, appreciate the banter though
Most of these laser distance meters are useless outside because one can not accurately determine where they are pointed. I note that the older Bosch unit had a set of physical "sights" (would be called 'iron sights' on a gun .. even if they are plastic). It is not a new concept. People have been doing that for centuries on magnetic compasses.
for bosh just go to settings and change how it measures I have 2 of these the new one is the blaze, and it has rounding instead of getting a 32 of an inch you can get 1/8.
I'm told the bosh has it as well but I've not fount it to be as easy and now I can't even find the Bosch, it's disappeared. I like the easy USB charging as well, that's actually a great feature
Thank you. Very useful video. May be useful a max distance test because the famous brand rangefinders use to be more trustworthy than its chinese counterparts
With the unit off, press and hold the off key and press the power button at the same time till that part of the menu comes up. But I found that what fixed mine as it was drifting was giving the lens a clear in the same way you might clean a pair of glasses. dust affects it's acuracy
Great video. Been using this while building a small building. It's ridiculously good. It struggles in bright sunlight, as most laser's do. I did a test over a 100ft tape and it was within an inch, may have been tape not running true over that distance. It also came with a reflective rectangle that actual works well when firing over a long distance. I stuck this on a tree and was able to hit 300ft outside.
Thanks for the great comment. I really rate this little gadget and for the price of rather have a few of these instead of one Bosch. I'm keen to test their laser levels as well, might be nice to see this in a kit of measuring tools at a good price. Thanks again for the comment
@@bodgeitwithbrian I agree, I actually bought it with their 3 way laser level. I've been using the distance measurement to get the laser parallel to structure, then you can hit items and position patterns really easy. Always give some things a bubble level check and I'm getting a lot of confidence in it. I still use an old rotation laser level for setting grade and Z. The rotary laser certainly wins in outside sunlight use. The only thing I could add to the 3 way level is ab xyz easy sliding tripod head it takes a while moving a tripod around for the fine adjustments.
Thank you for the review. However, in no reviews of these devices I have seen the accuracy of the device in its full distance measurement. Do you have any idea about the accuracy of the device at its maximum distance measurement?
I think my one is the 70m version although I suspect they are all the same and just a software change. I have had to calibrate mine over time which is an easy job. It feels like it drifts a couple of mm but then I cleaned it and back to good again. I would guess that if you put a few tapes up and laser measures you will get a few different answers, so which one is right. For me this device balances pretty good with convenience and I use it tape double check when it's important they never far apart
@@bodgeitwithbrian Ok, thank you. I know that even laser beams stray off a little at measuring long distances (even though a good laser beam doesn't by much). But, I wasn't sure if these devices are perfectly accurate lets say at measuring 160 feet or measuring 90 meters.
@@bodgeitwithbrian They make Golf and Target Range Finders that work out to 1000 meters (or more). No reason that they can not do a couple hundred meters for Laser Distance Meter.
The Bosch GLM 80 has continous measureing. Just press (func) and than the measure(arrow) button, after you tured your device on.
I'll check that out, thanks. I have to say I still prefer the Huepar. I don't think you can beet it for the price

Nice comment

Thre is no doubt, you can spend more and get a higher quality tool. The Hueper is pretty good bang for bucks and probably wouldn't buy a Bosch again
Thank you the continuous measuring is really helpful to resolve which one to buy.

Yes that's a good idea, maybe for another video, I'll try a head to head again
Although the review is meanwhile a bit dated, it was very helpful for me to decide! Thank you Sir!
Dated? certanly the Bosch is an older unit the Huepar is new
How do I calibrate my LM50A? I can’t find my user manual. It’s around 5mm off over just a short distance. Thanks in advance.
With the unit off, press and hold the off key and press the power button at the same time till that part of the menu comes up. But I found that what fixed mine as it was drifting was giving the lens a clear in the same way you might clean a pair of glasses. dust affects it's acuracy
and here is the manual

@@bodgeitwithbrian You sir, are a gentleman! Thank you so much.
Thank you very much
I was searching for the Huepar T7 LM200C withe camera Pointer
Which one did you get?
@@bodgeitwithbrian huepar, excellent review and lower price withe camera, compared to blue Bosch
Huepar is the best Choice
Yes I agree, it's a real deal

I'll see if I can get one for review, looks good
Me fue de mucha utilidad el video comparativo, gracias y saludos desde México.
Thanks for watching Mexico
Really good testing video ! Thanks
Thanks, it was fun checking out these great products

It's really difficult to even target something at that distance and keep it still
@@bodgeitwithbrian

No reason that they can not do a couple hundred meters for Laser Distance Meter.
True
No protective case/bag/cover with the huepar?
Yes it comes with a nylon pouch with a belt clip, well mime did
Help I got the huepar but how to you chance it from inch to meters?
I think it's press and hold the bottom left button. I'll check when I get home
@Blaze2Go you a smart guy, I did that wasn't in the Manual....
It's the bottom left button, the item that changes where the measurement comes from on the unit. Hold it down to switch unit.
Who hung the door on the wrong side?
It's worse than that, the braising isn't even attached. When I bought the door you get the choice to move it
you tha man ! ;))
Thanks
