Why should we back?
Intro
Welcome to KickstartNew! Today I’m excited to present a tool that aims to combine multiple measurement functions into a single compact device — the NOVA: 4-IN-1 Laser Level, Distance, Digital Angle, Bullseye by Magpie Tech. For DIYers, professionals in construction, or anyone who needs precision in alignment and measurement, this project promises to streamline your toolkit and improve efficiency.
Why should I back this project?
-
It combines four key measurement tools in one device: a laser level, distance meter, digital angle reader, and bullseye level.
-
It offers high precision — around 2 mm accuracy for distance measurement according to the project description.
-
The unit supports features like a bright green laser, self-leveling and manual modes, real-time angle read-out, and durable design (IP54 protection, drop resistance) in one tool.
-
Backing this project may mean getting early-bird pricing, and being part of a community validating a versatile tool, which could make it a higher value than buying separate tools later.
What are the potential drawbacks you should consider when you back it?
-
Because it packs multiple functions into one device, it may compromise slightly on dedicated tool features compared to best-in-class single-purpose measurement tools.
-
As with many crowdfunded hardware projects, delivery schedules and final specifications can shift from initial promises — there is inherent risk.
-
For users who only need one measurement function (e.g., just a distance meter or just a laser level), the extra functions may add cost without full utilization.
-
If the user environment is very demanding (extreme temperature/humidity or heavy industrial use), the device’s durability claims will be tested in real-world conditions beyond what the project may fully validate.
The reliability of the project
-
The creator, Magpie Tech, appears to have prior experience in launching measurement tools and crowdfunding campaigns — which adds some credibility.
-
The project already shows strong early traction: the funding goal was met quickly and many backers are participating.
-
The product description contains specific technical details (accuracy, protection rating, drop resistance) which suggests the team has done design work and prototyping rather than launching a vague concept.
-
However, as is standard in crowdfunding, backing is essentially a pre-order and final production, shipping, and quality control depend on the team meeting those claims in practice.
