Leica Rod Eye 160 Digital
Professional Digital Rotary Laser Receiver
Why Professionals Choose the Rod Eye 160
Leica's flagship receiver — engineered for demanding jobsite conditions
The 5" (127mm) detection window is the largest in its class — pick up the beam faster and easier than any competing receiver on the market.
Professional-grade digital display shows exact measurements in inches, fractions, 100ths of a foot, mm, or cm — survey-accurate results in the field.
Read the display from either side of the grade rod — no more walking around to check your measurement. Works when facing the laser or looking away.
Lock and store a measurement with the capture function. Hold the reading on screen for easy recall without moving off your reference point.
Advanced anti-strobe technology filters out strobe light interference from safety lights, emergency equipment, and construction lighting — works where others fail.
Dial in the right accuracy for your task. Five settings from ±0.02" (fine survey) to ±0.20" (fast rough grading) cover every application on the job.
Detects both visible and invisible laser beams (600–800nm spectrum). Works seamlessly with all Leica Rugby 600 series rotary lasers and most industry-standard units.
Protective rubber overmold on all edges and corners absorbs drops and jobsite impacts. Built tough with a grade rod bracket and integrated level vial included.
