Available in Spring 2025 (small quantities)
After the discontinuation of the Disto X2, we collaborated with engineers and manufacturers for two years to develop a new cave survey tool: the Cavway X1. As experienced users of the Disto X2, we were determined to design an even better cave survey tool with significant improvements.

Some of the key features include:
- Ergonomic Design: Lightweight at 145g, with dimensions of 131 × 55 × 33 mm.
- Waterproof: IP67-rated.
- High Accuracy: Distance measurement within ±5mm, azimuth within ±0.4°, and inclination within ±0.2°.
- Advanced Sensors: Two pairs of triaxial G and M sensors ensure excellent magnetic interference detection.
- Robust Calibration: Resilient against calibration loss.
- User-Friendly Display: 128 × 128 dot-matrix LCD provides an intuitive interface.
- Long Battery Life: Up to 100 hours of battery endurance.
- USB-C Port: Supports history data download for convenience.
- Smart Calibration: Equipped with intelligent calibration assistance.
-
BLE Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with Topodroid.
Core componets:
- 120m Laser module by Meskernel designed for cave environment
- Magnetic sensor RM3100 by PNI
- Accelerometer sensor SCA3300 by MuRata
- 1800mAh non-magnetic battery.
- Buttons with a lifespan of 1 million presses

Hello,
We are a caving group, and we are interested in purchasing one of these devices. We are familiar with using the modified Disto X2 and TopoDroid. Could you please send us the technical specifications and price? Thank you.
Buenos días. Estamos interesados en adquirir 3 cavway x1. ¿Cuanto valen?
Current firmware offers only degrees as angular unit under options. Would it be possible to offer a choice between degrees and grads with a future update?
Hello;
- I want to know if the caveway x1 works with bluetooth to use it with topodroid.
And when will it be available for purchase?
Thanks
Have you already considered the possibility of using an e-ink screen to further extend the battery life? Estimated price and availability?
