<p>The new ES Series was designed from the ground up to deliver the very  latest technology advantages, all in a small, sleek design – you’ll  appreciate the advantages from the very first measurement.</p>
<p>Featuring a class leading EDM unit, the ES is able to measure up to  4,000m to standard prisms, and can measure in reflectorless mode up to  500m at an incredible 3mm + 2ppm accuracy.</p>
<p>Measurements are carried out faster than ever, and at 15mm (over 30m), the bright red laser dot pinpoints features with ease. <a href="http://geoshack.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Topcon_ES_Series.pdf" target="_blank">Download brochure here</a>.</p>
