The Laser Technology TruPulse 360i is a professional-grade laser rangefinder that captures distance, azimuth, and inclination simultaneously in a single compact unit. With an integrated digital compass and inclinometer, it delivers 3D vector data and remote offset measurements without requiring the user to occupy the target — improving both safety and efficiency in obstructed or inaccessible terrain. IP56-rated for dust and water resistance, it is built for demanding outdoor fieldwork in GIS mapping, forestry, utilities, and environmental applications.

Bluetooth® connectivity and serial output options allow seamless integration with field data collection systems, mobile mapping apps, and GNSS receivers. Multiple targeting modes — Closest, Farthest, Continuous, and Filter — combined with an intuitive in-scope display ensure reliable data capture in complex environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the TruPulse 360i and the TruPulse 360 R?
The TruPulse 360 product family includes several variants. The "i" and "R" designations refer to different interface and output configurations. The 360i typically refers to the model with integrated Bluetooth for direct wireless data transfer to mobile devices and apps. If you are unsure which variant is correct for your workflow, contact us before ordering and we can confirm the exact model configuration available.

How does the remote offset measurement feature work?
Remote offset measurement allows you to calculate the position or height of a point that you cannot directly shoot with the laser — such as the base of a tree in dense undergrowth, or the top of a structure obscured by canopy. By taking two or more laser shots to accessible reference points at known geometry, the TruPulse computes the position of the inaccessible target using 3D vector mathematics. This eliminates the need to physically access the target point and improves safety in hazardous terrain.

What field data collection software is compatible with the TruPulse 360i?
The TruPulse 360i outputs data via Bluetooth and serial connection to a wide range of field data collection platforms, including Esri ArcGIS Field Maps, TerraSync, GNSS receivers, and custom data collection apps. Laser Technology provides a free app (TruPulse for iOS/Android) for direct Bluetooth data capture. Confirm compatibility with your specific platform before deployment — contact us or refer to Laser Technology’s integration documentation for the current supported device and software list.

Is the TruPulse 360i suitable for tree height measurement in arborist applications?
Yes — the TruPulse 360i is well-suited for tree height measurement. The inclination and distance measurements combined with the remote offset capability allow accurate height determination without needing a clear line of sight to the base or crown simultaneously. The Filter targeting mode helps isolate individual trees in canopy conditions. Forestry and arborist professionals commonly use TruPulse instruments for inventory, crown assessment, and hazard tree evaluation from a safe distance.
