Is there a good clinometer app for measuring trees?

Proper lasers are hard to beat to be honest. I've got a Trupulse from Sorbus - dear but accurate (enough for trees anyway!).

If you’re reducing, leave your prussik/ climbing device in, lay your rope on the ground in a strait line, go walk heel to heel and count each step then half it then add a bit on top for the bit above your anchor if using set method you don’t need to half it ?

Hi Steve,

 

Tried some apps and not thought much of em.

 

I currently use a slightly higher tech version of the stick at 45degrees and pacing it out. I have an angle finder set at 45 degrees  (cost about a £10) and laser distance tool £60, works well to about 25m (the laser measure is meant to work to 40m but won't pick up that well above 25m outside). If I were buying again I would go for one with 100m range.

 

All the best,

 

Jan.

Dont know nought about measuring trees and but googled Clinometer. There is a app called Bubble level pro (free at the moment) which gives you the angel of your phone. So sighting the top at at 45degrees and measuring in should work.

I've got an app called How High or Far that works pretty well. It's not as good as a laser rangefinder/clinometer but is good enough to be a handy tool.
