Forestry Pro II 6x21 Laser Rangefinder with 3-Point Hypsometer, 1750-Yard Range, Dual LCD Display, Inclinometer, Waterproof Construction for Forestry and Industrial Applications

This device combines an inclinometer and a laser range finder that supports simple range measurements, true horizontal distance measurements and (typically tree) height measurements. The device is simple to use, and provides a logging function as well that records measurements for later transcription. I've used it to anticipate the reach of felled trees, record tree heights for a forest stewardship plan, and measure distances between layout stakes and even distance to rocks from a racing sailboat. It's waterproof to some degree, so it's fine to use it in the rain, spray, etc. It does exactly what it promises, accuracy over shorter distances is as specified (I have no benchmarks for more than 100'), and the user interface is easily mastered. The only difficulty I've had with the unit is holding it steady enough to get readings on smaller objects (t-stakes, a narrow very tall tree); a longer device or a mount might makes this easier. Repeated attempts are usually successful, and missed measurements don't disturb a sequence for measuring tree height.

My entire department of field engineers has these as part of our standard tool kit. Need to know how tall something is? Just point at the base *click*, point at the top *click* and get the measured reading from the display. Couldn't be easier and seems to be accurate where I've been able to double check from other sources. Yeah, it's a bit spendy. But if you regularly need to know how tall stuff is with reasonable certainty, this is the tool you need. To me the only downside is the CR2 battery which is somewhat uncommon. I'd rather have a CR123 or a pair of LR3s or something I can find easily when needed.

Uno de los mejores equipos para medición forestal, reduce tiempo de trabajo

Accurate with heights, lengths and easy to use for beginners, he needs to learn more about it. I can update more later…

Excelente producto para la medición de individuos arbóreos.

We accidently ran over it with our side by side and it still works.

Easy to use, functions are simple to find and arrived on time. Great purchasing experience!

The quality of this item is disappointing. It feels cheap because it is very light weight. It doesn't turn on when you hit the power button. I even installed new batteries but it didn't help. If you take the battery out and put it back in, the power comes on. Once it powers off, it will not power back on unless you remove the battery and put it back in. I have other Nikon products that are fantastic. However, this product is a major disappointment. Maybe I just got a bad unit, but how can you tell unless you compare it to others.

Like the new smaller size. Fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. It is lightweight as well adding to the ease of handling. And the measurements are accurate

This is a very useful gadget if you need to measure tree heights or similar. It is very easy to use, and has several modes. Each measurement is remembered in a numbered list, I am not sure how many it records, but it is quite a few. It doesn't have a visible laser dot, but seems to be able to discriminate quite well the object in the viewfinder cross hairs from any visually adjacent vegetation further or nearer the target. It is difficult to know the accuracy, but it seems consistent to better then 0.5 m. It is expensive, of course, as specialist equipment, yet affordable if you need it professionally. It is very robust, lightweight, waterproof, very practical.

The product appears to be accurate and the unit is extremely easy to use. Thanks.

Va très bien

This product is the simplest to use , very accurate and easy to carry
