The DISTO D5 was the measure that really caught the judges' eye. The unit features a measuring range of up to 200m with an accuracy of ± 1.0mm, a tilt sensor that measure angles up to 45°, Pythagoras functions and a robust, water resistant (IP54) design.
A key feature of the D5 is the ability to measure outdoors even in glaring sunlight thanks to the digital pointfinder, which utilises a high-resolution 2.4" colour TFT display with 4x zoom, says the company.
Adam Beaumont, sales manager of AC-ET's Rigging division, commented, "The Leica DISTO D5 laser distance measuring tool is a must have for anyone who needs to take really accurate measurements. The colour zoom display makes it ideal for entertainment work, particularly in festival season when people are working outdoors. Some of the other features are ideally suited to our industry and the price is affordable too."
In 2009, AC-ET's Rigging division picked up the same award on behalf of Touring Custom Products (TCP) for their Bunka Stand, which the company distributes exclusively on a worldwide basis.
