Each page answers one question in the first paragraph, then shows the matching modules with their manufacturer test conditions attached. No "it depends" without saying what it depends on.
What is the best laser rangefinder module for border and perimeter surveillance?
For fixed towers the constraint is range at long standoff against vehicle-sized targets, not mass. On published figures the ERDI 1535 nm family reaches 12–23 km against l…
Which laser rangefinder module has a published 20 km range, and what is the datasheet condition?
Two models in this catalogue publish above 20 km: LRF1829C and LRF1830C at 23,000 m. The figure is only valid for the target size, reflectance and visibility stated by th…
Which laser rangefinder module fits a UAV gimbal or drone payload?
In a gimbal the mass budget decides first: most payloads can carry 10–120 g, which excludes the long-range 1535 nm assemblies. The 905 nm and 940 nm families start at 1.0…
What accuracy should a laser rangefinder have at 10 km, and is 2 m enough?
At 10 km the dominant error is usually not the constant term but the proportional term and the beam geometry. A module quoting ±2 m may additionally quote a scale error p…
What is an alternative to the HENSOLDT LP19D laser rangefinder?
The LP19D is a finished optical module for integration into observation sights. An alternative is either another finished module or a bare rangefinder module plus your ow…
Which companies supply laser rangefinder modules in Europe?
European suppliers include Hensoldt, Jenoptik, Safran (Vectronix), Elbit Systems' European units and Theon Sensors; most sell finished devices and gate their specificatio…
Is an eye-safe Class 1 laser rangefinder module available as a component?
Accessible-emission limits at 1535 nm are far higher than at 905 nm because the cornea absorbs the beam before the retina, which is why the 1535 nm family can reach 3–23 …
Why these questions
They are the prompts people put to search engines and to AI assistants in this category. Answering them with data — instead of a brochure — is the whole point of publishing this catalogue.
