Haglof Vertex Laser Geo 2

The new Haglof Vertex Laser Geo 2 will revolutionise the way you measure, map, process, and store data in the forest and beyond. This cutting edge forestry tool incorporates a rangefinder, hypsometer, remote diameter measurement, compass, GPS and Bluetooth in the one powerful instrument.

The Vertex Laser Geo 2 provides accurate distance, height and angle measurements using either laser or ultrasonic technology. An integrated digital compass and tilt sensor allows for 3D measurements such as 3D target mapping and innovative 3D Vector functionality to measure remote targets such as canopy width.

The new remote diameter measurement function enables you to record diameters while measuring tree heights or determine heights for a fixed diameter.

The built-in GPS receiver enables you to tag important data with GPS coordinates with a simple key press and the internal 1GB SSD drive provides substantial storage of data collected for later download via USB. 

Height Measurement Made Easy: Choose from 3-point, 2-point or 1-point direct measurement methods with an intui­tive menu system. The non-magnifying dot view aids in identifying single targets, such as tree tops and power lines, with ease.

Remote Diameter Measurement: Record diameters while measuring heights, or determine heights for a fixed diameter, adding versatility to your data collection.

Ultrasound in Dense Vegetation: Measure distances with ultrasound when laser visibility is compromised. Ideal for scenarios where the target is obscured or not visible with a laser. 

Reverse Prism / Basal Area Factor (BAF):This method works well in forests where the plants are thick and close together, as it gives accurate results even in these hard situations. It avoids many of the problems that come with traditional prism cruising, such as blocked views from the plot centre.

Effortless Communication and Power: Experience long­ range wireless data transfer to your handheld device with the built-in dual-mode Bluetooth V4 Low Energy transceiver. The long-lasting Li-ion battery, charged via a mini-USB inter­ face, ensures you're always ready for the field.
