Clinometer

[EarthToSimon]

Not posted on here in a long while but looking for a Clinometer to use surveying, I don't really need the level of accuracy you get from a theodolite (plus they're a bit awkward to carry around) so using a little clinometer would make it a lot easier.

Considering a Sunto PM5, does anyone have one they don't use or something similar? Cash waiting, thanks!

ive been using a iphone/pad app for clinometer readings - actually pretty fast, and alot cheaper.

I used a clinometer app for my dissertation (which involved measuring tree heights, among other things). It does work very well, the app I used had a 'lock' system, where it would save the angle when held for a certain period of time.

I also used a 30cm ruler lined up with the edge of the phone to get a more accurate result.

Thanks Guys, I'll have a go with an App tomorrow. Would prefer to have a purpose built bit of kit though.
