Homemade Clinometer; To use this clinometer, site over the cut edge at 110 and 250 degrees with the ruler pendulum hanging down free. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN. When the cut edge is pointed at what you want to measure the altitude of, press the ruler and protractor together and read the angle from the scale.

Use a Clinometer; The most reliable way to measure tree height is with standard measuring tools such as an Abney hand level, hypsometer, clinometer, transit, or high tech rangefinder. However, you can also estimate height using a triangulation method with a straight stick and a 100-foot tape measure.

Compass and Clinometer FAQs What is a clinometer?; A clinometer is an instrument that measures the angular distance in degrees from the horizon (0°) to an object below or above the horizon. The Suunto clinometer looks similar to the compass and is needed for accurate measurements of an objects height above the horizon.
