A multifunction laser leveling tool () is provided. The multifunction laser leveling tool () comprises: a housing (); a pendulum () supported by the housing () via a universal joint so that the pendulum () is pivotable with respect to the housing () around a first axis () and a second axis () perpendicular to the first axis (); a locking means () which is able to fixedly lock the pendulum () to the housing () and to release the pendulum () therefrom, wherein when the pendulum () is released, the pendulum () is in a plumb orientation and the first and second axes () lie in a horizontal plane; a first laser beam emitter () attached to the pendulum () for emitting a first laser plane; an angle sensing means () attached to the pendulum () for measuring the orientation of the pendulum (); a display module having two sections () attached to the housing () for displaying the measured orientation of the pendulum ().

Multifunction laser leveling tool

Embodiments of the invention comprise an apparatus for use with a laser range finder configured to direct a laser beam toward a scene to measure the distance to a target in the scene and having a range finder display for displaying data, including data that is indicative of the distance to a target, wherein the apparatus comprises a protective housing, a camera module in the housing, the camera module including a lens mounted in a front end portion of the housing, and a light path through the lens to image sensor, an image sensor operatively connected to the camera module for receiving images acquired by the camera module, electronic memory for selectively storing data of images from the image sensor, circuitry for controlling the operation of the image sensor and the memory, a camera display in the housing operatively connected to the image sensor for receiving the image data and providing a visual display of the image, and a switch for storing image data in the memory. Other embodiments include a projector in the housing for projecting the data displayed by the second display onto the image sensor to thereby capture the image data of the scene and displayed distance data together.
