Hello, Bizarre question but I've trawled the internet with no easy find. Is there a cheap and cheerful gadget out there that allows you to work out the angle of a grass slope accurately? I know there's electronic distance meters but is there one that includes altitude and then calculates the angle? Many thanks in advance for any responses. Regards - Cakey

Try a Maxiclin Clinometer (http://www.ukge.co.uk/uk/Clinometers.asp) these are cheap and effective. Regards Adrian

Many thanks for the responses. I've ended up ordering a digital inclinometer from ebay which has multiple uses e.g. machine setting.
