Features
The VERTEX LASER GEO and LASER GEO with unique capabilities will allow you to measure, map, process and store forest and field data in a way you didn’t think was possible! Long range measurement with high precision laser and integrated tilt- and compass sensors for accurate 3D measurements. Results are presented in an integrated heads-up display and external, graphic display.
Tree heights
Select from 3-point, 2-point, or 1-point measurement modes, or use direct measuring by navigating through the user-friendly menu system. The non-magnifying dot sight assists in pinpointing specific targets like tree tops and power lines.
Additionally, with the Vertex Laser Geo 2, you have the option to use Ultrasound for measuring distances in areas with dense vegetation and heavy undergrowth.
Map Target
Use built in GPS to walk and log an area.
Or stand in the middle of the area and use the built in GPS, Compass, Laser and measure the points on the border of the area.
See results directly in Google Earth or other similar geographic applications.

Compass
Measure 360° degrees of Azimuth/compass direction with the built-in three-axis compass with a resolution of 0.1° and accuracy of 1.5° RMSE.
3D Vector
The 3D Vector function allows you to measure remote targets such horizontal distances and angles between two points far ahead in the terrain such as canopy width or width of a river.
MAP Trail
The MAP TRAIL feature allows you to gather target coordinates logically using the laser method, pitch, and azimuth data. It’s useful for mapping routes or roads where GPS isn’t precise, or for planning a forest cableway system. The instrument’s built-in compass continuously shows direction, guiding you to hit a target accurately.
Line Clearance
Hazard trees
Line Clearance function.
- Measure on the wire
- Measure the tree height
- The unit calculates if the tree will fall on the wire or not.
- The unit calculates and present how much the tree will hit the the line or how much will go under the li
MIN. DIST.
Minimum Distance
The MIN. DIST. function can calculate the shortest distance from, for example, a tree branch to a power line. This function is particularly useful when measuring is challenging due to vegetation and terrain profile, making it hard to determine where to aim on the power line for an accurate measurement
Sample plots or points
Sample plots
When using ultrasound and the center plot stick with the 360˚ adapter in the center of a sample plot, you can easily measure the distance and check if the trees on the plot are within the correct radius to be measured.
Sample points
Reverse Prism: Avoid many issues of traditional prism cruising, such as blocked views from the plot center.
The BAF function allows you to use the Vertex Laser Geo 2 on a sample plot. By setting the desired BAF factor from 0.0 to 999.9, the Vertex Laser Geo 2 will then calculate the minimum diameter of a tree to be included in your sample plot.
BAF factor range: 0.0 to 999.9 (ha or acre)
Vertex Laser Geo 2 can be used in dense vegetation and undergrowth when usig ultrasound

3D Pile - Application
Get more out of your Laser Geo 2 or Vertex Laser Geo 2 with the 3D Pile App.
Perfect for Log and Stockpile inventory
With the 3D Pile app on your Laser Geo 2 or Vertex Laser Geo 2, you can easily measure the volume of any uneven stockpile or log piles.
This all-in-one system lets you do the whole job by yourself without needing any other tools or systems.
Features
- Inventory and volume estimation of log piles
- Inventory and volume estimation of irregular piles of different materials.
- One person can perform the entire process
- Obtain field data with high accuracy and precision
- Store data directly in the instrument
- Avoid walking and climbing in hazardous areas
3D Pile Application Workflow
Log Pile Volume
The Log pile can be divided into several sections during measurement. The sum of the sections is then the total length of the pile. Measure and record pile width, range and wood volume factor for each section. The volume is calculated by section number, number of heights, calculated average height, and volume for each section. The result includes the calculated average width of each section, the calculated average height of all measuring points, and the default wood volume factor for each section.
Woodchip or gravel piles
The 3D PILE software is useful for measuring different types of piles and rollers. Measure the pile from different sides to create a three-dimensional image of the object. The instrument saves heights and coordinates for all measurement points. Data is stored in (csv) and (kml) formats and can be opened directly in Google Earth! The instrument can also be used to calculate 2D areas (area), such as clearcuts, industrial sites or the inside of a building.
Do you currently have a Geo 2 instrument?
