LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Inclinometer choices

If you attach it to the Visor, you only need one. Just swing it around for side incline. Thats the set-up I use.

Guyute1210 thought it was a joke :lol:

Thats where its at man....Most of your common weed retarded crooks don't even know what a protractor is. I showed it to a 25 year old weed retard and he thought it was some kinda drug scale.

Its fully functional, the ebay stuff was a joke

I imagine electronic inclinometers are the only way to really fix the jitter / accuracy problem. You could use a water or oil-filled sensor to get measurements, and then have a programmable chip handle averaging and such. It would be a neat project to try, and would be VERY cool to have red LED digits on the dash indicating degrees of incline. Maybe even have them blink if it gets high or have a little alarm

I bought this item off ebay. I posted a pic on my page of my inclinometer, is this the one yall are using? http://www.thefergusons.us/kj/kj.htm Pretty good deal for the price and included free shipping. Not sure how to mount it yet. I really hope nobody steals it.

Well, if you're only looking for one dimension, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to just tape it to the dash and hang a nail by a thread. Actually, that sounds like a neat idea, maybe I'll get a pair of those protractors: one for taping to the side window to measure incline, and one for the dash to measure roll. http://www.exploratorium.edu/math_explorer/howHigh_makeInclino.html

Guyute1210 thought it was a joke I thought it was a joke, too Why else would anyone pay to have a protractor shipped to them when they could just pick it up at Staples? I think the trick would be figuring out how to remove the jittering. The water-filled inclinometers do a pretty good job of getting a mechanical average (since things in water move slowly, fast bumps won't mess it up too bad). A washer hanging from a string would just be hula-dancing around in my jeep (I suppose if I were to stop it would eventually stop swinging and tell me the incline....but what good is that?) <geek> I imagine electronic inclinometers are the only way to really fix the jitter / accuracy problem.

I use a "smiley face" bottle opener on the end of my string and have the window open so it don't crack out the glass and I can throw out empty bottles. When your not using it you can hang it on the visor hook. I'll post the real pics later.

Hey Edwin, You should see my range finder I've used for Neutralizing targets over the years. A "Body Mass" shot at 100 yards is between the life lines on my outer pinkey, and 200 yards is the same line on the inside of same finger. I have another set for deer and different ranges. It don't work well at night though. My GPS location is: "I'm right here!" Sun rises in the East & sets in the West Its either Day or Night, Up or Down No, I'm not hungry, this dirt really does stick to your ribs and taste like dirt. There are different tasting dirts too, and some taste the same oceans apart. "LiveStrong"

I like the LED inclinometer gauge. I think you need one of these to start with. http://www.microstrain.com/fas-g.aspx

At about 20 degrees of roll, they stop breathing in a normal fashion and begin blinking, at about 30 degrees of roll they stop blinking (as eyes get big) and start whining, and at about 40 degrees of roll the screaming makes me kick 'em out.
