Re: suunto clinometers
How fancy do they need to be?
Suunto are the Rolls Royce of clinometers hence the price. I've got one but i very rarely use it. You can do it with a regular compass clinometers but the sighting has a bit less accuracy. They'll set you back 5 quid to 40 quid. Do you know any school teachers? If so look in their maths & geography supply books and there may be something in there. |

Re: suunto clinometers
LaserAce Hypsometer
I'd have one of those in a shot. Unfortuantly they're very expensive the discounted end of line model before thast was about 1500 quid. Does the hard work for you though. |

Re: suunto clinometers
I like these the best, but they are even more ridiculously expensive than the Suunto ones Haglof Electronic Clinometer
I have no allegiance to Honey Bros but they were the first Haglof stockist I found with a Google search. |
