NiteStar Distance Measuring Instrument

NITESTAR®MODEL NS-50 & NS-60*

“The Original DMI… Accept Nothing Less.”

The NITESTAR ® has been designed to make distance measuring as easy as possible. The average survey can be completed simply by using the four large keys on the left side of the instrument.

The NITESTAR® has embedded programs specially designed for contractors who require material amounts and costs for asphalt, concrete, gravel, sand and other components.

The NITESTAR® also has non volatile internal memory to store numerous events along with the distance that they occur. Non volatile memory ensures that events are not lost when the device is turned off.

Designed by the company that invented the first Electronic DMI, the NITESTAR® will offer the most accurate distance measurements from any road vehicle within an accuracy of one foot per mile!
