Leica LS15 Digital Level

The Leica LS15 is a high-precision digital level designed for demanding leveling and engineering surveying applications. It combines Leica's digital leveling technology with autofocus and an integrated overview camera, helping surveyors aim at the staff and complete measurements more efficiently. Available in 0.2 mm and 0.3 mm precision versions with an Invar staff, the LS15 is suited to precision control, monitoring and other projects where reliable elevation data is critical.

Autofocus and Image-Assisted Digital Leveling

The LS15 is designed to reduce the amount of manual operation required during digital leveling. Its autofocus system automatically focuses on the staff, while the overview camera provides an image-based view for aiming and documentation. The instrument can also perform electronic tilt checks before measurement, helping surveyors maintain a consistent measurement workflow.

These features make the LS15 particularly suitable for large leveling projects and applications where measurement speed, repeatability and operator convenience are important alongside high accuracy.
