Review on 🌞 Sun Company 306-R Lev-o-gage II Inclinometer and Tilt Gauge - Double Pack for Precise Leveling in RV, Camper, or Trailer by Timothy Barnes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nicely made product.

Simple, solid, easy to read, "okay". This is not an accurate inclinometer, but it should be obvious. It's in the Stone Age "rough but effective" category. .I design wheelchairs and scooters and need to know what the inclines are. Installed this on the handlebars of my scooter and now I have a quick answer to the question. It also doubles as an accelerometer once you understand its dynamics. The engineers were probably trying to achieve a critical damping, but the physical properties of the system cannot be reduced to a simple second-order problem to solve, so they set to work on the design. a small stick. It's not really a problem once you understand what's going on. If you are on a moving platform measuring tilt (like I do) the tilt should be measured both up and down and then averaged to eliminate bias errors. If you are on a stationary platform, e.g. B. when leveling an RV, make sure you level the item perfectly with a real bubble level and always tap the item when measuring.

Pros
  • EASY TO READ DISPLAY – Brass ball indicators in a bright yellow tubular construction offer better visibility than traditional spirit levels. Engraved and hand-drawn numerals ensure a functional and easy-to-read display.
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
