Leica CS50 4G/5G DISTO Field Controller
Item # 1028248The Leica CS50 4G/5G DISTO combines Leica Captivate surveying workflows, cellular connectivity, and integrated distance measurement in one field controller. Its built-in DISTO laser distance meter with a 1MP camera lets crews measure distances to remote or difficult-to-access points, helping reduce the need to reposition for additional measurements.
With 8GB RAM and 128GB of data storage, the CS50 4G/5G DISTO supports projects involving large datasets, CAD files, IFC models, and imagery. As part of the Captivate portfolio, it works alongside Leica total stations and GNSS instruments to support a coordinated workflow—from project preparation and data collection to final verification. Built-in 4G LTE and 5G RedCap connectivity, with physical micro-SIM and eSIM options, lets crews exchange project information through GeoCloud where network coverage and a suitable service plan are available.
