All of LTI's laser rangefinders that include a tilt sensor have the ability to calculate height with a simple 3-shot routine. The first shot establishes the horizontal distance to your target, while the 2nd and 3rd shot establish the top and base angle. The height is then calculated and instantly displayed.
