Optical leveling equipment consists of a telescope with crosshairs and an interior level to
measure height and distance. Our field leveling optical supplies and instruments include both
hand and automatic levels with a range of features that let you choose equipment that best
suits your needs.
Hand levels give a preliminary assessment of elevation and distance in relation to a reference
point. They are faster to use than automatic levels because they do not have to be mounted
on a tripod. Automatic levels are more precise than hand levels. They self-adjust to maintain a
consistently level position along the line of sight. Automatic levels must be mounted on a
tripod.
