Roughly adjust the bubble vial into range — the compensator does the rest. Faster setup, fewer operator errors, more consistent readings across the day.
Read the staff clearly from across the site. Sharper crosshair definition means less squinting and more confidence in the numbers.
Pure optics. No flat battery mid-job, no charger to chase, no cold-weather surprises. Pull it out of the box and start reading levels.
Every RedBack dumpy level is checked and calibrated by our technicians before it ships, and comes with a free certificate of calibration.
Designed to withstand the knocks, dust and weather of real worksites. Not a delicate instrument that lives in a case — a tool you can use every day.
Fine rotation adjustment, distance estimation, angle estimation, and an adjustable crosshair eyepiece. Everything you need for precise survey and set-out work.
Anyone can sell a dumpy level. Few back it properly.
Every unit is checked and calibrated in our workshop before it ships. A free calibration certificate is included — you don’t take our word for accuracy, we prove it.
Solid construction, built for the long term. RedBack provides in-house repair and calibration services for all RedBack lasers and most other laser brands.
Automatic. No annual calibration requirement. No blame-shifting. If there’s a genuine fault within the warranty period, we sort it — no questions, no runaround.
Dumpy (or auto) levels establish and check points in the same optical plane. Surveyors and builders use them to transfer, measure and set horizontal levels — checking heights at specific points, differences between points, land contours, data for road cross-sections, earthworks volumes, and setting inclined surfaces.
Yes. A dumpy level is a telescope on a tripod, paired with a levelling staff. One person holds the staff at the target point; the other looks through the scope and reads the height off the crosshair in the viewfinder.
No. Dumpy levels are pure optical instruments. No batteries, no charging, no risk of a flat battery mid-job. This is one of their biggest advantages over electronic levelling tools on site.
The Optical1 is the level unit on its own — ideal if you already have a tripod and staff. The Optical1P package bundles the same Optical1 level with a tripod and staff, ready to work straight out of the box. Both are 26× magnification, auto-levelling, and come with the 2-year warranty plus calibration certificate.
Yes. Every RedBack level is checked and calibrated by our expert technicians and comes with a free certificate of calibration. We also offer ongoing repair and calibration services for all RedBack lasers and most other laser brands.
