1% at 50' room is off by 6"; Not very accurate.
I have a inexpensive laser meter that does much better.
Doesn't take pfotos but what good is that if your 6" off at that small of area.
Cool system, maybe I'm missing something

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see 1% accuracy. What I saw was 8" in 600 feet, which would work out to be 0.001, which would be around 1/2" at 50'.

Reasonable priced, sign me up.

Like everything nowadays the speed at which this type of technology reaching the consumer is mind boggling! I think it will be a fantastic tool for SU users needing to work inspiration into reality. And I'm sure the accuracy thing will only get better.

Clever people those Kiwis.
