Okay, you know those "real-world" problems in trig books? One popular type describes someone standing a known distance away from a tree or utility pole and using some look-through device to find the angle of elevation between their eyes and the top of the tree/pole. You then use the appropriate trig function (sine, cosine, tangent) to find distances between you, the base of the tree/pole, and the top of the tree/pole.
I want one of those angle-finding look-through devices. Nothing involving a laser or electronics, just a simple hand tool to find an angle of elevation. I was thinking this would be useful for beamshot distance measurements in outdoor field tests.
