Does it pay for itself?
That is the real question, not the price. The answer is yes, starting the month it shows up.

Every shop already pays for measuring mistakes. They just do not see the line item.
Mistakes avoided, plus time saved, plus material saved, plus software the shop is not paying for separately. The savings are designed to cover the $499 before it ever feels like a cost.
Fewer costly mistakes
Accurate to 1 mm (about 1/32 in) within 33 ft (10 m). A missed dimension on a backsplash or a metal stair is hundreds to thousands of dollars. Shops using the iCS50 report over $200 a month saved on mistakes that never happen.
Faster measures, less waste
With the wireless VPen it is one of the fastest ways to template a job digitally. Skip the wood, save the material and save the hours, on every job.
Straight into CAD
The DXF imports directly into the software the shop already uses. Nobody sits down and redraws the job by hand.
Software you would pay for anyway
SPEEDfolder, SPEEDinventory and SPEEDlabel come with the iCS50. On their own they run over $170 a month.
SPEEDfolder, SPEEDinventory and SPEEDlabel.
Over $170 a month on their own. With the iCS50 they come in the package.
Pricing, plainly.
What does it cost?
The complete package is $29,800, or from $499 a month financed over 72 months on approved credit.
Can I take the write-off if I finance?
In most cases, yes. Section 179 can apply to financed equipment that is in use by December 31. Ask your accountant how it applies to your shop.
What is in the case?
The iCS50 robotic head, VPen, handheld remote, Samsung tablet, V-Targets, charging cables, a carbon fiber tripod, a Pelican case for the electronics and a tripod carry bag.
What software comes with it?
iCON trades, SPEEDfolder, SPEEDlabel and SPEEDinventory, included for the first year. After that, the SPEEDtemplate plan covers all four for $150 a month.
Who sets it up and trains the crew?
iCS50 Onboarding Specialists. Every crew also gets the printed Field Guide, their Industry Guide and a Workbook.
What does the software cost after the first year?
The SPEEDtemplate plan: $150 a month, or $1,800 a year, for iCON trades, SPEEDfolder, SPEEDlabel and SPEEDinventory. The plan includes every software update and every firmware update for the iCS50 head, including new features like trace.
Does it need to go in for calibration?
No. The iCS50 levels and checks itself every time it starts up, so there is no yearly service trip. The only yearly cost is the software renewal.
What is the warranty?
One full year from Leica, parts and labor, through the Leica service center in the US. An extended warranty adds two more years, for three years in total.
What if the VPen gets dropped?
The VPen has no electronics inside, and the ball is aluminum. Scratches and small dings do not affect it, and it floats if it goes overboard. Replacement parts ship from the Leica warehouse in Georgia.
What if the tablet is lost or stolen?
The iCON trades license is tied to the iCS50, not the tablet. SPEEDtemplate support moves the license to a replacement Samsung tablet. The tablet is not locked, so the shop can add its own apps.
How far can the VPen be from the iCS50?
Up to 33 ft (10 m) at 1 mm (about 1/32 in). A one-time range upgrade extends the VPen to about 82 ft (25 m) at about 1/16 in. The laser reaches what the VPen cannot.
What files does it export?
A 2D DXF, a 3D DXF, a PDF and a CSV. The DXF opens in the CAD or CNC software the shop already uses. Photos from the tablet and the iCS50 camera stay with the job.
How long until it arrives?
About three weeks when Leica has stock. SPEEDtemplate pairs the tablet, installs the software and tests the full system before it ships, so the system works out of the case.
