My first thoughts are - what a load of nonsense!

 

Its not a laser hypsometer, its simply a red laser light, like a laser pointer. The whole idea is flawed as for one, red laser is very difficult to see outside, you need a green laser, but it may be too difficult to market a class 3 laser for this purpose, and secondly, you still need a logging tape to set the distance/angle of the laser when cross cutting! Why Stihl think you would not just keep your tape on the log and mark up or cut as you go at different lengths? Also, when you need to change lengths, from say 1.9m to 2.5m, you will have to get the tape out again to reset the laser distance/angle!

 

Useless piece of tat IMO!

It would be way better if the laser cut the log as well

But he missed the rock if that was his target. Does this mean that the sight lines on the saw will be discontinued. Any one who knows what he is doing don't need this
