We like the feature set of this particular unit, and it can certainly handle everything from multi-point measurements, to area calculations and indirect measurements. Since it’s battery powered, you won’t have to look for a charger in the field, but can simply reload batteries as needed. You can expect quite some time (likely hundreds of measurements) on the batteries, given our experience with similar products.
