LaserAce® Hypsometer

LaserAce® Hypsometer was designed to help foresters and arboriculturists easily and efficiently measure the height of a tree, its diameter (at any height on the tree), simple or ‘taper’ log volumes and tree lean.

This multi-role capable instrument is simple to use with selectable modes to suit the required role, these include:

  • Measuring reflectorless ranges up to 150m
  • Brush Filter mode (for use with reflective tape)
  • Critical range Gating for area plots
  • Critical Height and Diameter detection
  • Heighting (with built in inclinometer)
  • 2-Point Height and Lean Measurement
  • 3-point Height Measurement
  • Diameter Measurement
  • Log Volumes
  • Plot Sampling

The LaserAce® Hypsometer incorporates an onboard multifunction computer. This computer stores results (up to 2000 trees) for later viewing and or downloading to PCs or PDAs using its onboard Bluetooth® (or RS232) data link. Providing users with a cableless data storage out in the field.

The internal ‘forestry’ software automatically carries out mathematical calculations for instant field results.

LaserAce® Hypsometer is simple to use with selectable modes to suit the required role.

For diameter measurements, the LaserAce® Hypsometer incorporates specially designed (x 5 magnification) stadia hairs. During operation, these (numbered) stadia hairs are used to bracket either side of a tree trunk. On firing the laser, the user can determine the correct diameter of the tree.

The unit has been designed for simple, effortless use – point and shoot technology. Simple ‘all-in-one’ heighting, diameter, lean and log volume instrument, affording users considerable cost savings on field operations.
