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! Review: Accurate and Tough - I bought this inclinometer because I needed an optical device I could fit in my tool pouch to measure heights in a refinery. This type of environment requires equipment be intrinsically-safe, i.e., unable to provide enough current to cause a fire. This pretty much rules out GPS, etc. Besides, as I explained to a friend once, GPS tells you where you are not how high something is in front of you. From my field tests I've found this instrument to be accurate to within +/- 1-ft. This is not as good as you would get with a theodolite (transit), which involves a tripod. A single measurement this way would be highly accurate, perhaps to an inch or so but would take a half-hour or so to set up, if you knew what you were doing. If you can live with the accuracy the PM-5 is great for fast measurements. The Clinometer works best on days when it is partially cloudy. Frequent use, say more than an hour, in bright sunshine, may cause modest headache and eyestrain. Here's how it work: 1. Measure the horizontal distance first (D). Keep the tape straight. 2. Measure the height of the instrument as you hold it (Ho). 3. Hold the instrument by the brass handle and find the black eyepiece. 4. Choose the best eye that sees close up. 5. Close the other eye. 6. Look for the horizontal hairline. 7. To the right, is % slope (or height in ft at 100-ft); to the left is degrees. 8. Zero with the horizon. 9. Move the instrument to the desired elevation. 10. Open the second eye using it to see the object for which you want the elevation. 11. An optical illusion will bring the hairline in focus in front of the second eye. 12. Adjust the instrument elevation and read the measurement. 13. The best accuracy is with the degrees. 14. Do the math: H = Ho + DTan(angle).

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). ## Frequently Bought Together - SUUNTO PM-5 Clinometer - Forestry Suppliers English Fabric Diameter Tape | Woven Synthetic Fabric | Claw Hook at End | Measuring Diameter of Trees | 76˝ Diameter in Inches, Measure in 10ths, 100ths, Linear Feet - Forestry Suppliers English Steel Diameter Tape (White Enameled Steel w/Black Graduations) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/14536265-pm-5-clinometer](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/14536265-pm-5-clinometer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
