Abstract

An auxiliary housing for holding a distance measuring device has a housing part which forms a receptacle for insertion of the distance measuring device, a threaded bushing for mounting the housing part on a tripod, the threaded bushing having a longitudinal axis which coincides with an abutment surface operating as a reference surface for a hand-guided measuring process when the distance measuring device is inserted in the housing part.
