Great information on the New Disto L7500 . This is a great Lazer!

First, we've used this technology successfully indoors. The videos are a great help. In preparing for outdoors, I've have two questions. How do you account for a discus ring that isn't a perfect circle and how do you establish a good reference point when you have a downward/upward slope? I ran into this performing a test at a high school so I will be ready once the season starts.

Can you measure from the middle of the ring?

You will have same problem with tape because tape is measured from front to center.Ring not round will give us same problem. With the disto's because we measure from back to front,I would measure though the center of ring to front of ring and use that offset but I would also put in my post meet report ring does not meet rule and write the rule number in. With your problem with slope it almost the same as your ring problem. There are rules on the slope. NCCA can not be more then one degree.That is about 2 ft 6 inch. at 260 ft. USATF and IAAF, the slope can not be more then 3 inches at 260 ft. So if you have a big slope problem it is not problem because marks won't be legal.

Doug, are you able to offset the Disto outside the ring maybe perpendicular to the front edge on a concrete pad so you do not have to enter the ring each time?

Does this work any better in bright daylight? Do you use a reflective/special material for the target?

have you used it on the pole vault? How did you work the math?

Craig Cooper is our certification Chairman and he has used it for 3years. There is a plate made by gill that the disto fits on and you know the height and you shot to bottom of pole and you know thickness of pool and add together in disto and it will give you total. If you need more help I will get you in tough with Craig.

Thanks for responding. As you know in high school I find most pole vault setup are done by staff that do not understand how it is suppose to work. It’s the exception where you can get the bar at zero. So I believe I can over come this problem with the laser. I understand I can shoot from zero and get the bar height. My question is what if I shoot from an angle. My thought process is I would have to add the radius to the shot to the bar which would be in math terms call the hypotenuse (this would get me to the center of the round bar) and then the leg going from the bar to the ground I would have to add the radius to get the top height. And finally if I wanted to look at the setback I would add the radius to the last leg (this leg is going to the laser). I would subtract my shot to the zero mark from that last leg. And that would be the setback. Thanks for your help.
