Allows usage 360° around the transponder while maintaining accurate distance measurements for determining plot radius at the push of a button. Package includes hypsometer, transponder, plot center staff, and a threaded adapter.
The Vertex 5 is the perfect instrument for accurate, dependable tree height measurements in all climates! The built-in 3D tilt sensor eliminates vertical sighting errors and allows measuring in various positions, plus it has a crosshair for best visibility under any conditions. The Haglöf Vertex 5 hypsometer fits in your pocket and allows measurement through thick vegetation in either English or metric units. It has a built-in memory with storage capacity up to 5000 datasets (csv format). Up to six heights on a single tree can be taken. The hypsometer displays three numbers – distance, angle, and horizontal distance to the transponder. The Vertex 5 also features a reverse prism function (BAF feature) which has built-in prism factors of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 (English) and 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0 (Metric). Easily calibrated daily for best accuracy. Other features include Bluetooth®-BLE Low Energy transceiver built-in for easy transfer of measuring results, compatible for both Android and IOS devices; multiple user selectable language menus; and it includes user instructions.
Note: Vertex 5 hypsometers and transponders are interchangeable with older units.
