It’s not listed on DeWalt.com yet. I can only find a short YouTube video that was filmed over seas. But this thing looks pretty sweet.

I wanted to see if anyone would mention the price. For some reason, Home Depot has them listed at $249 right now.
Every single site has them from $500-$900.
I already ordered one from HD just because of the price variable.
I looked at comparable units from other brands such as Bosch, and $500+ is pretty normal for a device with similar features, Distance (660′) and a built in camera. My DeWalt (330′) was $299 originally.
Worth buying at the HD price for sure….nice find

Here’s the short video on it.
Geez, that seems like a pretty good deal! Keep us posted, I’ll be curious to hear your opinion of it.

It arrived yesterday, I’ve had the chance to play with it a little bit and the most important feature that can not be matched with common LDM’s is the camera feature. The camera feature makes outdoor, daytime measuring a possibility at football field lengths.

You wouldn’t even attempt to use an LDM in outdoor full sun conditions.
361′ outdoor, full sun. Try that with a common LDM. You’d never see the laser dot.
