Altimeter Haga Meter / Hagameter Hypsometer

OVERVIEW: The Haga altimeter for measuring tree heights, developed in 1950 by our company #39;s founder Hans Haga, has been an essential tool in the international forestry and timber industry from back then to this day. Combining precise functionality and comfortable handling with a long-life cycle, the altimeter became an unique product classic. The indicator and scale systems are integrated into a rugged light metal casing and protected against outside influences. The pistol-shaped casing makes usage easy which is important for the accuracy of ongoing measurings. The height determination is based on the known manner of measuring the angle between the altimeter #39;s position and the top of the tree. The distance to an object can be measured comfortably and quickly and can even be improved with a rangefinder tape. Furthermore, the device is designed to support an optical rangefinder.
