I think they can be very useful and reliable, but like any high tech equipment they must be used correctly, and the results interpreted carefully. A few years ago a consultant who is well known in the SE who I shall not name tomo'd a very prominent 100 foot redwood. He misinterpreted the results, despite my company's reservations, and condemned the tree, what a mistake! He wasn't even called in to assess that tree, he asked if he could do it out of interest!

I think Sloth 'hit the nail on the head' Tobias.

 

Careful interpretation of the data is critical.

 

I haven't a heap of experience, just watched a consultant on one of our Beeches, then had a play with one setting up in the canopy of the Ash with the hispidus & then watching the ARBOTOM out in Spain, but they do seem like a bit of a faff to set up.

 

Think the ease of using the micro drills is far more reliable & user friendly.

If a tad more invasive.

Anyone used one?

 

Experience in reading the pictures...? Have you compared the pictures to reality after felling a tree that has been inspected with a Tomograph? Reliability? Feedback is welcome!:001_smile:

 

yes, yes, yes, and fairly good, with the limitations in mind, such as cracks.

 

more experience with the fakopp to date.

 

bring em on!
