ROTATING LASER LEVELS – Electronic Self Levelling
Quick Navigation
Rotating Lasers (Rotary Lasers) are generally the laser level of choice for anyone wanting to measure outdoors.
They project a line that can be detecting using a laser receiver/laser detector.
This is because Line Lasers (the other major type of laser) are generally not powerful enough to be used visibly outdoors during the day, due to the sun overpowering the beam. Rotating Lasers mitigate that issue by using a laser receiver/laser detector in order to show you the position of the laser beam rather than relying on a visible line.
Rotating Laser Levels are very different in their operation compared to a Line Laser. They utilize a laser dot that rotates (hence the name) to create a signal that the receiver can detect. This signal is projected a full 360 degrees around the laser.
The majority of Rotating Lasers are Auto-Levelling, which means they move to position themselves so that they trace a horizontal laser signal. There are some rotating lasers that require manual levelling using spirit bubbles and adjustments.
Because our lasers look like this:
Rather than cheap plastic internal housing that more & more rotating laser levels on the market are being mounted onto.
Some of the toughest-looking lasers on the market when you open them are poorly made internally, and won’t be repairable or calibratable in the case of a drop.
That’s why we proudly post photos of our internals because we back our products in. We know what quality is after 20 years of selling laser levels.
Don’t get caught out when your laser is accidentally dropped.
Buy quality. Buy RedBack.

I purchased a laser level that had an issue after 11 months, I spent 5 minutes on the phone with the team to confirm the issue, and was then told i'd recieve a replacement in the mail with return shipping for the faulty unit in the mail, I don't think i've ever experienced after sales service this good, so good i had to write this review, absolutely outstanding customer service, highly recommended. Rick Maccubbin21 June 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tim and his team were so great to deal with! I have purchased plenty of other branded lasers in the past and none have really been anything special in the last 5 years but Tim took time to understand my needs and use to get me the best product! Even ran me through a detailed demo so as to get the best out of the new kit and hit the ground running with it! Highly recommend! Tristan Trotter16 March 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great price and great people..and you get to buy locally to support business! Well worth the visit Dianne S8 February 2021Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We install large industrial and rural sheds that are generally over 50m in length. We found it difficult to keep our string lines straight with windy conditions. Whilst working 5 hours from home I called Redback lasers and spoke to a consultant called Tim. It was 5pm and he was still was happy to discuss my problem. He recommended a line laser and went above and beyond to deliver it to me after hours to use the next day. Delivery was over a 2 hours drive. I highly recommend this business who knew the detailed information about their product and exceptional customer service.

Our RedBack Lasers come complete in heavy duty carry cases that can handle plenty of the rough stuff.
We know not everyone will put their seatbelt around their laser in their ute while driving! – That’s why we’ve developed heavy duty carry cases with soft inner foam to absorb as much shock as possible if dropped.
Even the BASIC614 which comes in a soft carry case has plenty of protective foam casing.
Because of this – you can use our lasers with confidence that they won’t go out of calibration in transport, in the back of the ute or being thrown around by the apprentice!
Never get stuck without battery on a jobsite again!
Our RedBack Lasers give the option of either rechargeable battery or disposable batteries.
Our RedBack Lasers come complete with either a NiMH or Li-ion (depending on model) rechargeable battery pack and charger Note: The BASIC614 rechargeable batteries are an optional extra.
Featured in these laser is also a backup battery caddy – where you can mount disposable batteries in place of the rechargeable if need be.
TILT function is one of the most useful features of RedBack Rotating Laser Levels – helping prevent major disrepencies onsite.
If TILT mode is selected and the laser is disturbed or knocked the beam will stop rotating and flash to indicate something has moved.
This allows you to reset the laser to be in the correct position before continuing to operate, mitigating any potential errors caused by disturbances to the laser.
All RedBack Rotating Lasers feature TILT mode as standard.
The Vibration & Wind Sensor (VWS) Mode is the ideal setting for when you are working in windy, unstable or similar conditions.
It will tell the laser to continue spinning even if there are some minor disturbances to the laser, like a gust of wind or vibration from a nearby road or machinery.
Normally the laser would try to relevel in order to correct itself after a disturbance. Whereas VWS will just continue spinning, minimizing downtime caused by the laser releveling.
TILT & VWS modes can be considered opposites to each other. TILT would be better for high accuracy operations whereas VWS is better for high efficiency when accuracy isn’t as important.
All RedBack Rotating Lasers feature VWS mode as standard.
Scan Mode allows your Rotating Laser that would primarily be used Outdoors, to be able to be used visibly Indoors by spinning the beam back and forth rather than full 360 degree rotations.
Scan mode helps to intensify the beam giving you a visible guideline for indoor installation, which can be combined with other functions like grade or manual modes for suspended ceilings & other applications.
All RedBack Rotating Lasers feature Scan mode as standard.
Setting a Single Grade or Dual Grade is a breeze with our Slope Remotes. The Remote allows you to easily grades as a 1-person operator.
A slope remote allows you to tilt the beam over on either the x or y (or both) axis to create a grade/slope.
Here’s a step-by-step example of how to set a 1 in 60 slope in the x axis:
RedBack Rotating Lasers that feature a slope remote are:
Manual Mode is the mode of choice when you need to set slopes larger than the Rotating Lasers are capable of setting electronically using their sensors (generally around 8-10%).
It basically stops the laser from Auto-Levelling, which allows you to then tilt the laser over manually to create any slope you would like. This is commonly used in conjunction with a Grade Dial Plate (GD12) or Inclinometer/Digital Level.
This is commonly used for steep inclines like driveways as well as suspending ceilings.
RedBack Rotating Lasers that feature manual mode:
Auto Grade Match is one of the easiest & convient ways to set grade. Where our Grade Match Rotating Lasers stand out from the rest is the automatic grade match and tracking facilitated by the LR720T & LR730T tracking receivers.
This feature allows the user to set the LR720T/LR730T millimeter tracking receiver at a particular height. You press a button on the receiver, which then communicates to the laser unit. The laser will then slope it’s beam on the selected axis to find this height and lock to this grade. This makes setting grades extremely quick and is especially useful where you want to match to a existing slope on site.
Auto-grade matching can be used in two main ways:
By setting a grade in the same manner as a manual grade match, but this time the laser searches for and locks on the receiver automatically. There’s no need to first find level and then move the receiver the required height to match. For example, when holding the receiver 6m from the laser moving the receiver 100mm from level to get a 1 in 60-grade slope.
This is when you want to match an existing grade or slope, like setting a constant grade for a driveway on an undulating hillside. The idea here is that you are wanting to match the general existing grade, but you want to take out the lumps and bumps along the way.
This is achieved by setting the height of the rotating laser and receiver on the staff at the same height from the ground. Take the receiver up or down the hill along with one of the two axes. Then press the Auto Grade Match tracking button and select the axis on the receiver and the laser level does the rest, tracking to and locking onto the position of the receiver and fixing that grade. When the grade is fixed, you use the receiver anywhere along that axis and a level reading now indicates that you are on that constant grade.
This tracking feature can also be used with the laser on its side for vertical alignment – making it the ideal option for fencing contractors looking for a laser to do fence alignment. It can also be beneficial for set-out.
RedBack Rotating Lasers that feature Auto Grade Match :
Imagine a 1 button press to trace a vertical line between your laser & your receiver.
That’s what our Auto-Tracking Vertical Rotating Lasers give you.
This is the gamechanger for anyone looking for a laser level solution for Fence Alignment, whilst also doubling as an effective option for builders requiring long range set-outs for warehouses, sheds etc.
Simply set the rotating laser on its side for vertical rotation with the plane of rotation roughly aimed to the other end of the run you wish to align. Set the receiver up on its side at the far end of the run. Select the auto-grade match on the receiver (this time it has to be the “X” axis) and the beam automatically tracks left to right to find and lock onto the position of the receiver. You can even perform site squaring as the visible dot laser beam is at 90 degrees to this vertical rotating plane.
RedBack Rotating Lasers that feature Vertical Alignment Tracking:
The quickest, easiest, most accurate Grade Setting is easily Digital Grade.
Digital Grade or Dial-a-Grade as it is often known is a feature normally reserved for the most expensive lasers on the market – until now.
RedBack Lasers’ DGL1010GM is a relatively affordable option for Earthmovers, Plumbers, Fencers, Farmers and more to get a high-end feature at a great price, without skimping on features or quality.
WHY IS DIGITAL GRADE SO GOOD?
To set single or dual grades, it is simply a 2 button press of either the laser or the digital slope remote. You can set grades to 3 decimal places of accuracy (eg. 1.667% rather than 1.7% other brands use).
If you are setting grades constantly or need to be precise with your grades/slopes, then a Digital Grade Laser is the best option.
