Reply to "Laser distance meter for cal course layout?"

AdminMember

Humps and dips would not really be a problem. I set up my EDM and target on tripods about 500mm above the ground. A hump of more than 500mm will prevent the EDM from seeing the target, and a hump of less than 500mm will result in a negligible change in distance.

A dip of 1 meter in each of two 150m segments would result in a cal course measurement that was 25mm shorter than its true distance. And this would result in slightly longer (very slightly) race courses. The error would be in the "right" direction.
