I want to use this device to approximate the height of power lines. Can I stand directly below a power line and shoot upward to get a distance?

I have never tried to do that. Just guessing, but i dont think, I could be wrong, it might not pick up the power line due to the size of the wire. I might have to try that.

Actually, you'll be able to use it to get the exact height if it does inclined measurements. It's designed for bowhunters. The 500AS does that sort of thing.

it should be able to pick-up the power lines, anything solid, if you can't get a reading, maybe a more steady stance will work

On small wires on utility poles at a moderate distance from 30 yards no, but bigger heavy lines im not for sure I don't know if it's the small diameter of the surface or the roundness but it's very hard to hold steady enough for scanning

Yes you can. You will have to set the parameters in the DJI setup app, but it can be set to shoot straight down.

"Feet of range" would be a specification that would only be useful in open air - no buildings, no walls, no vehicles, no power lines, etc. And we usually don't use these types of devices in those conditions. Furthermore, range depends on both the router and the device at the other end - antenna design in the other device matters tremendously. For practical applications, you have to worry about how many walls might be between the router and the other device, what type of insulation is installed in those walls, whether it has a foil vapor barrier, where the large appliances are located in the house, where the power wiring and plumbing are run in the walls and floors, and how much concrete there might be between the router and the other device.

The horizontal line is a couple inches up from the base of the unit, but the unit is pretty compact, so I'd say you can use it. But even if the projected line is too high, you can use it to mark a level line on the wall and then measure down from that.

Use a 45 deg triangle so that device is is pointing up at a 45 deg angle. If don't have 45 deg triangle, just fold a square paper diagonally. Move device until laser is pointing to top of tree. Make sure it is 45 deg with the ground. Now lower the laser so that it is horizontal with the ground. Aim laser at bottom of tree trunk and take a reading. That would be the height of the tree.|\|__\

I'm sure u could, a little. I primarily use it for the shooting range. It's not going to have the desired effect that I believe you are looking for, like a telescope would have.

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.

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.

This can be done. It is similar to the use I did. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the performance and I feel that it would work much better if I had placed it higher or outside. My desire was to get an HD channel and I found it not much better than the dipole I had previously used.

I'm not 100% sure that I understand your question. That said, based on what I think you are asking I will say this. You can put this device on the floor of the first floor and the line will shoot up on the wall of the second floor. That is, provided there is no ceiling separating the two floors and you are far enough away from the wall. The closer to the wall that you place this device the lower the line travels up the wall. The further away from the wall the higher up the wall the line travels. I do not know the maximum angle the laser travels. You might be able to get that from the Bosch's website. Once you have that you can do some basic trig to see how far up the wall the laser will shoot based on the distance it is from the wall....

who cares, the pyle is crap. altitude is always wrong. basically i can tell you my current altitude within 500 feet without the pyle device!

I would imagine there would be distance limitations with the device. Experiment!

Yes, you can hit virtually any target with or without a reflector to get a distance. Thanks for your interest. GFG

Maybe at very short distance. I think you would need the power of a pellet for distances over 5 feet
2133602
Yes but the distance is terrible. You have to be right up close to use it. I would pay extra and get a good one.

I am not sure of the range. It all depends how you have it positioned, keep that in mind.
