Disto:
Leica Disto A3 The Disto the device is designed
for.
Stabila LE 50 An alternative to the A3. Contains the same internal
hardware as the A3 and is compatible with the DistoX kit. However, the case is
somewhat smaller and there is hardly sufficient space to route the wires.
TLM 200 Another ‘clone’ of the A3. Using the TLM200 instead
of the A3 is possible but not recommended because of its poorer quality and
limited functionality.
PDA:
RPDA 696 My favorite PDA. An Asus
Mypal 696 repackaged into a ruggedized case by a German company.
The optional 3Ah battery lasts for several days.
HP iPAQ 114 Cheap and small. The only
drawback is the relatively short battery lifetime.
There
are larger batteries available:
CS-HIQ100XL (2250mAh)
CS-RX4000XL
(2400mAh)
TDS Recon Robust and reliable but expensive outdoor PDAs.
Covers:
PalmCase micro The perfect case for the iPAQ 114! Fits well with original or large batteries.
Otterbox Robust and perfectly waterproof. Cannot be used with
the iPaq 114 and others which have the on/off switch on the side of the device.
Good for older PDAs.
Aquapac Cheap and proven. Attaches smoothly to the screen and
allows easy drawing. Good and economical solution for the iPAQ 114.
Dräcksack Protective covers for anything used in cave. Made by
a Swiss caver from second hand materials. Special padded bags for Distos and
PDAs are available.
