Suunto PM-5

I am a professional trail builder and have used your Clinometer for approx 30 years. My first one wore out! Too much abuse in a pack, etc. Just replaced the same model with a new one. Works great! It is nice to be able to depend on such a quality tool for my work. Thanks!

This clinometer is high quality and easy to use. I use it for measuring the height of cell phone towers, and once you get the hang of it, it's easy to do.If you're unfamiliar this the device, it simply measures the angle at which you are looking. So if you know how far away you are from something, and the angle you look at to see the top of your target, you can get the height.I've "calibrated" it to known heights of structures, and I usually get within +/- 5 feet. There are a lot of factors at play when doing this: sun, distance from target (as affected by terrain - if hilly, the distance you would measure walking is not the same as a straight line distance), skill of use (it take some practice to get your eyes use to looking through this).

This is a solid, well designed, and nicely manufactured product. And at a fair price. What more can one ask for?I've tried this to estimate the (known) height of several objects and structures. The calculations are very straight forward and easy to perform. The calculated results were closer than I would have expected. I think I'm going to love this!

Palm sized Clinometer for measuring angle or elevation of slopes. Easy to read & lightweight. Comes with a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck when in the field & it has a pouch & belt loop to keep it safe from scratches & secured on your body when navigating through woodsy areas or when working near machinery. Great product!
