I’ve started doing the same thing and it’s a lot of fun 📏

    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.

            That almost seems mountable.

            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.
