Slope/Tilt Guage

[chilichaz33]

I think this company out of PA has gauges that cover many ranges, Rieker Instruments. They make inclinometers and tilt indicators.

Ric,

After all the discussion and reading the various viewpoints and opinions, I think I have changed my mind about how these gauges are basically useless... Just like you point out, they might provide interesting data when off-roading. Also, they would actually serve a useful purpose if, during a walk-about--- checking the trail ahead--- you could take the gauge out of the H2 and approximate the hill's slope BEFORE driving on it.

Personally, the gauges that show 0 to 45 degrees seem less useful than the gauges calibrated from 0 to 30 degrees. If you had the second gauge and the ball bearing goes off the scale, you could just say that it is "TOO" steep?

I think that the lower range of 0 to 30 would also make it easier to more accurately read what the slope actually is too...

Maybe I will use velcro to attach the gauge so I can remove it for gauging slopes while walking around?

Now I have to find out where the 0 to 30 degree gauge was available...
