ZipLevel is accurate to within 2mm, measuring over a 60-metre circle and 12 metres vertically in a single set-up, and any distance, any height, by doing several easy set-ups.
More detailed information can be found at www.ziplevel.co.uk.
ZipLevel is a precision laserless altimeter, made up of an easily carried base unit and a handheld measurement module, which contains the electronics and an easy-to-read LCD screen.

The base unit and the measurement module are joined by a 30-metre dual-bore polymer cable.
One bore of the cable contains hydraulic fluid, the other a gas used to pressurize the system.
These fluids act on a pressure sensor in the measurement module, and the differential hydrostatic pressure between one location and another produces a direct readout of elevation, positive or negative.
ZipLevel is set up in seconds.
The user simply puts the base unit on the ground at point A, presses the zero key, then walks to point B and puts the measurement module on the ground there.
The screen reads the difference in elevation between A and B, directly in digits.
Simple as that.
Because it is a single-handed device and needs no assistant, ZipLevel increases productivity and will pay for itself very quickly.
Accuracy is greater than traditional surveying techniques and it can be used (for example) with one unit inside a building and the other outside.
Or with one unit in one trench and the other unit in another.
No line of sight is needed.
