Advantages Of Using The Leica Disto To Measure The Field Events:
1) Eliminates the need for a tape puller
2) Speeds up measuring of the event
3) No tape measure laying in sector
4) Consistent measuring for all athletes, i.e., no tape stretching
5) Horizontals—less officials at board, therefore more fan & coach friendly viewing
Features Of The Leica Disto E7500i:
1) Water resistant—can use in rain
2) Drop resistant to 6 feet
3) Bluetooth connection to [hone, iPad, etc...as long as Disto Sketch app is
installed (can only connect to 1 device at a time)
4) Builtin camera with crosshair to see what you are focusing on, also has 2X & 4X
zoom
5) Keeps last 30 measurements in memory
6) 30 second auto shutoff
7) Can compensate for vertical angle to give a true horizontal measurement.
Cannot be used to triangulate because it cannot compensate for horizontal angle.
8) Can input an offset to deduct the distance of the Disto to the measuring point
(edge of circle or takeoff board) from the total measurement, giving you the true
measurement of the throw/jump

- Page 7 Measuring The Shotput/Discus/Hammer (assuming you have a reflector close to ground, offset calculated to back of device) Determining the offset: Set the tripod up as in numbers 3 & 4 on previous page (page 5). Use a plumbob or a piece of broken cross- bar in the hollow metal centerpiece of tripod to measure the offset to the center of the tripod (offset=the distance from the edge of the ring to the center of the tripod).
- Page 8 Measuring The Javelin (assuming reflector is close to ground, offset calculated to back of the device) Determining the offset: Hold reflector at the edge of the arc, & place the tripod with the center over the 8 m mark (the triangular mark where you pull the tape measure through), using either a broken piece of crossbar or a plumbob.
