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, SexyTopo.
