It significantly reduces project time, allowing you to focus on what really matters. Save time and money with VH-80A.
Experience the unparalleled convenience of Two Way Laser Technology with VH-80A. Don’t rely on a bent ruler and avoid the discomfort of kneeling down for measurements. With VH-80A, true professionals don’t need to move.
VH-80A’s advanced auto-calibration technology is crucial for minimizing measurement errors and uncertainties during the measurement process. With VH-80A, there’s no need to check the bubble for horizontal alignment. It measures the distance automatically as its built-in angle sensor detects 0 degrees, ensuring precise and accurate measurement values.
Have you ever experienced inaccurate measurements while you measure distance? At a distance of 30m (98ft), even a 10-degree difference can result in a measurement error of 5.1m (16ft). These measurement discrepancies often occur when the device is unintentionally tilted, or caused by hand tremors while you measure. To resolve accuracy issues caused by uneven measuring, we developed a new algorithm that greatly improves accuracy, making VH-80A the ultimate measuring tool for your project.
Now you can measure distance with perfect accuracy without considering measurement errors. The VH-80A Auto Calibration technology will automatically detects an angle of 0 degrees for the most balanced measurement to provide you with the most accurate value.
In addition to Auto Calibration technology, Magpie Phase Shift Analysis (MPSA), Magpie Tech’s patented laser technology, ensures even higher accuracy. The MPSA advanced laser module maintains measurements with an error range of just 3mm, providing precise and accurate results.
When measuring, the transmitted laser wave is detected by the transmitter and the reflected laser is received by the receiver. Through the powerful multi-algorithm process of MPSA, VH-80A analyzes the results and determines the distance measured instantly.
Building on uneven surfaces can cause further delays and problems with your project. VH-80A’s built-in sensors can detect if the surface area is flat or not. VH-80A’s display will be highlighted green once the surface is flat.
Auto-Calibration with an angle sensor for accurate measurements, super charging, 62% bigger screen with color display, vibration for use in noisy environments, enhanced durability with three layers of protection and water resistance… A great deal of design and software upgrades were developed to make VH-80A. We have added over 10 unique functions and features compared to other models on the market.
Experience a new level of power and efficiency with the VH-80A. Supercharged by the innovative Magpie Max solution, it is designed to maximize battery life. The VH-80A can perform more than 1,000 measurements with only 1 hour of supercharging time, which makes it the ideal choice for demanding professionals. That’s the magic of Magpie Max: maximum efficiency. With the VH-80A, you can focus solely on your projects without worrying about a dead battery slowing you down. You can do it all day.

By connecting VH-80A to the app, you can manage data and expand your tasks using different modes. With remote control, real-time measuring value transfer, sketch-making, and material calculation features, the app helps you complete even more measuring tasks with greater ease and efficiency.
Measure hands-free and with exceptional precision by controlling the device remotely with the app. As someone who cannot tolerate errors, mount the product on a tripod and measure remotely under perfect conditions. Don’t worry about hand tremors during the measurement process anymore with the app.
Stake out mode allows you to measure along a length until you find the exact measurement you are looking for. If you are measuring a piece of wood that needs to cut at a specific length, or if you need to transfer precise measurements from a blueprint or plan to an actual location, VH-80A will alert you when the length has been reached to the value you set. This digital tape mode will come in handy in all sorts of ways to help you complete more tasks with a single tool.
Area is a measurement of space inside a specific shape. Calculating the area of a shape or surface can be useful in everyday life. For example, you may need to know how much paint to buy to cover a wall or how much grass seed you need to sow a lawn.
All 3-dimensional objects occupy a certain amount of space, which is measured in volume. The volume measurement mode is useful for measuring the volume of empty spaces, such as a warehouse, in order to fill them with items.
By using Pythagorean Theorem, VH-80A supports Indirect Height and Triple Indirect Height Calculation modes , which are useful for measuring the length of height indirectly. You can stand in one place and obtain the desired height that is far away without having to move.
The bookmarking button lets you set the laser direction, unit type, calculation and binds it to the quick access button. This feature is very handy and helps you save time when completing any project. Set your measurements and go about your task with ease and VH-80A will store the measured data to the app.
VH-80A uses vibrations to communicate the measurement is complete. This is a more subtle way to reduce noise on the job. Vibration mode can also be toggled on and off to reduce any noises coming from the device to customize for your need.
