I lied…in my brain it feels smaller than it is because ive gotten used to it. But now that I actively look at it again, “keychain” sized is a bit of a stretch.
Although I do use it on my keychain, so maybe ive just gotten accustomed to it.
I eventually did invest in a bigger boy to carry in my filming kit that can store two measurements at once. It’s super handy when you’ve got two subjects and you need to rack focus between them.
9 meters max. But as far as focal distance goes, if you have to measure anything more than about 5 meters away, you’re just throwing your focal ring to unlimited anyway on most lenses.
Exactly why I bought it. I originally had a screw mount attached to the back of it, which could attach it to the side of my camera cage lined up with the sensor. Basically a laser scope for my mirrorless Lumix.
And this was a few years ago. It still uses the old micro-usb even. So there’s probably going to be a newer version.
Once I manage to stop hitting the snooze button and crawl my lazy ass out of bed I’ll take a photo of it. I bought mine at Canadian Tire. Should be similar in any hardware stores.

Mine is like three times that size so I would call it Keychain sized too haha

It looks like the AquilaPro laser measuring tool is an actual keychain sized tool.
