Turner Among my many instruments, I have an old Opti-Logic rangefinder, but not a hypsometer. My assumption is that one of the two height methods of their hypsometer is the sine-sine method, regardless of what they call it. If they don't have that, the hypsometer wouldn't be worth much to ENTS. Hypsometers limited to the old tangent method just won't hack it.

They're available from any number of sources.Ben Meadows and Forestry Suppliers just to name 2. They are also the only one made in the US.
