Bosch GLM 30 vs Stabila LD 250 BT - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take a closer look at the laser range finders Bosch GLM 30 and Stabila LD 250 BT and compare the differences.
measuring range / distance
The measuring range of a laser rangefinder is extremely important. The number describes the maximum distance the device can measure. For most devices the maximum distance can be derived from the name.
With 30,00 m the GLM 30 from Bosch has a smaller measuring range than the Stabila LD 250 BT with 50,00 m. Thus the Stabila LD 250 BT is better. However, if you do not need such a large measuring range, you can choose the smaller Bosch GLM 30 with less distance.
The minimum distance is the Bosch GLM 30 at 30,00 m. The Stabila LD 250 BT can determine a minimum distance of 50,00 m for the measuring range.
The indicated measuring range usually refers to ideal conditions. Poor weather conditions can affect the measuring range. This includes fog, for example. This is interesting for use on construction sites. In home use, this usually plays hardly any role. Under bad conditions the possible measuring range is smaller.
Measuring accuracy
The better a laser rangefinder is, the more accurate the results. The differences here are in the range of a few millimeters.
At the point of measurement accuracy both devices perform equally well with a maximum deviation of +/- 2,00 mm. Therefore, there is no difference at this point in the comparison. Therefore, there is no difference at this point in the comparison. In bad weather conditions, the measuring accuracy can be worse, just like in the measuring range.
Good rangefinders can output smaller steps in the measurement. Of course this also affects the accuracy of the measurement. The measurement results are output at the Bosch GLM 30 in steps of 1,00 mm. Thus the device offers smaller steps than the LD 250 BT of Stabila in comparison. There the smallest step is at 31,12 mm.
Measurement functions
Most devices offer even more than simple distance measurement. This includes area function, room function and summation.
In this comparison only the Stabila LD 250 BT offers you an area function. With the Bosch GLM 30 you have to do without this function. The area function allows you to calculate areas based on your measurements directly on the device.
The Bosch GLM 30 has no space function to calculate the volume (m³) directly at the measuring device. With the Bosch GLM 30 this function is available to you, which saves you time.
You can only get memory locations for measured values with the Stabila LD 250 BT. With the device you can use - memory locations. The Bosch GLM 30 has no memory locations.
Inclination measurement
Some laser distance meters offer a tilt measurement. This allows to determine angles with the device. You have to do without it for the Bosch GLM 30 as well as for the Stabila LD 250 BT.
Accumulator and batteries
To save energy, both devices switch off automatically. The automatic switch-off time is the Bosch GLM 30 at 5 minutes. After 3 minutes the Stabila LD 250 BT switches off automatically.
