Ben,

There are a multitude of laser levels (in a multitude of forms) 
available to do what I think you are trying to do.

The 110 feet might be an issue but if you are consistent you can 
probably plot the location for halfway and then repeat the process for 
the second half. Perhaps there is already a level that accommodates the 
110 foot range in one effort? Best wishes, let us know what you decided 
and how it turned out.
