Can you use this to measure tree height?

Hi Todd, I would say no. I have not tried to measure tree heights with mine. I ranged walls and embankments. Understand you are ranging your distance from base of tree and again your distance from top of tree, not the height of tree. I hope this helps.

Honestly, I don't know. The one I purchased will accommodate up to around a 5 or 6 inch tree I think. It would not work for your application.

Yes to all questions. If you cant get enough laser reflection from the pole tops, I suggest using the 3 point measurement mode, where angles determine the height, not reflection. SA

I would guess that it can be used, however it may take some work on your part to attached. The digital readout gets it's position information from the strip it glides on and that must mount firmly to your saw. It does work quite well and has replaced all other measuring methods on the saw for me.

This unit can give you the distance from any spot that you direct the signal to. If you point to a tree it will give you the yardage from where you stand to the tree. You don't need the laser link in the flag stick for this to work. You do need a fairly steady hand. But, you can get the distance to anything.

The answer is YES, this feature is poorly implemented & almost impossible to see /use, I use a tape measure to set the distance.

I've never tried but I would assume not. I believe it's only meant to measure air temperature.

You would find this a useful tool. I work for an architect and we use it to do field measurements.

I have used mine for sometime now and so far it seems to measure just about anything you try, so I believe it would be able to read a burst of air from an air gun.

Yes, as long as you are within range and you can see the laser dot on the next pole so you know you are measuring to it and not something behind it.But considering alternatives to taking that measurement, this would be awesome.

Definitely. Much quicker than using a tape measure. Get accurate ceiling heights.

YES. This unit can be used to read speed of just about anything that passes within its range.

If you're a heavy-duty cyclist, they have products specifically for cycling where you can enter the bike's weight and all sorts of other data, but as you've already discovered this can also be used for cycling. We've also used ours on hikes to measure how far we've walked. Can have some trouble getting a signal in some areas of the woods, though.

Yes! My son used it for a science project that measured the amount of electricity fruit generated and it worked wonderfully.

Unwind cord, take yard stick or other measuring device and measure the cord...

Yes you can, I use it primarily for this and it works very well. It takes less than 8 seconds to get a stable reading.

No - it measures wire length (in feet or meters only) according to the gauge of the wire - copper or aluminumAccuracy is pretty good
