The LH Series Laser Rangefinder/Hypsometer height measurement system combines a pulsed laser rangefinder and a vertical angle sensor in a lightweight, easy-to-use package. The hand-held rangefinder is capable of measuring distances to non-cooperative targets from 4 yards up to 1000 yards away, depending on target size and reflectivity. Incorporating an internal electronic tilt sensor, the Laser Rangefinder/Hypsometer makes vertical angle measurements with 0.1 degree resolution (1 degree accuracy) to remotely determine object heights. Applications of the Laser Rangefinder/Hypsometer measurement system include tree heights measurements; construction, utilities, architectural measurements; landscaping; real estate appraisal; and much more. The system is ideal for applications where surveying level measurements are not required and higher instrument cost is not justified.
