The Vertex 5 is specifically engineered for forestry environments and performs exceptionally well in rain, uneven terrain, and thick vegetation. The ultrasonic transponder system allows measurements through brush and foliage where laser-based devices may be obstructed.

It is ideal for:

• Tree height measurement
• Forestry inventory
• Plot radius measurement
• Basal area sampling
• Environmental surveying
• Woodland management
• Arboricultural inspections

Bluetooth Data Transfer

Measurements can be transferred wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to compatible mobile devices and software platforms, helping streamline field data collection and reporting.
