Leica Rod Eye 120 Basic Laser Receiver
Basic Performance Rotary Laser Receiver
Why Choose the Rod Eye 120 Basic
High performance for all general construction applications
Detects Leica rotary laser beams over 2,953 feet (900m). Dependable at any jobsite distance — from tight interiors to wide-open grading operations.
Extra-wide 2.76" (70mm) detection window for fast, reliable beam acquisition across the full working range. Fewer passes, less time hunting for grade.
Fine (±1mm / 0.04 inches), Medium (±2mm / 0.08 inches), Coarse (±3mm / 0.12 inches). Choose the precision your application demands — from finish grading to rough earthwork.
Two clear displays on the front and back of the receiver. The 9-channel arrow display guides you back to grade fast — readable from either side of the rod without repositioning.
Rated splash, water and dust proof to IP67. Built for outdoor grading and construction in any conditions — rain, mud, and jobsite grit won't slow you down.
Runs 50+ hours on 2x AA batteries. 10-minute automatic shutoff preserves battery when not in use. Never get caught on the job with a dead receiver.

Three simple steps from setup to perfect grade
Slide onto your grade rod using the included bracket. Level with the built-in circular vial to keep the rod plumb and ensure accurate grade readings every time.
Point your Leica rotary laser toward the 70mm window. Dual LCD and 9-channel arrows show grade position instantly from both sides of the rod — no guesswork, no wasted steps.
Select Fine, Medium, or Coarse accuracy. Audio beeps and the arrow display guide you to exact grade. Hit grade, move on — simple and repeatable every time.
