Leica clinometers?

If your only measuring a couple at a time I'd go for the haglof, if you masuure lots at a time go for the 200 and if your really flush go for the 360.

 

 

Sounds like good advice but with the Haglof you a tape measure and I can't be arsed with extra things.

Unless I'm mistaken.

Yes that's correct, you have to measure the distance away from the tree and enter it into the haglof. This can be done using a tape, distance laser measure or pace it out.

Ok, thanks.

A Haglof and a tape is one item too many for me.

I'll need to find a gadget that will do what the 200l will do but costing a good deal less.

Anyone have any tips on which to choose?

Then just get yourself a fifty meter tape (one item) and bend over!

Have a look at the Nikon, much the same as the 200 but you have to. E 10m or more away from the target to measure the distance.

I see that finding the right measuring tool is bit of a science. I have used old leicas, which I think are good tools but not exactly serving the purpose. We use trupulse 200L and it does pretty much the same. I start incline to Leica d910 for approx £1200. for that You get point to point measure. ON the other hand trupulse 360, which is in the same price category, offers in-build compass... yes it is hard to choose and on the end of the day isn't it just better to stick with tool what cost approx £20quid and do little bit of the math??
