Horizon altitudes can be measured with a theodolite or a clinometer.

Apart from having a clinometer plane on the sight mount, there was no provision for indirect sighting.

- An instrument used by surveyors in order to measure an angle of inclination or elevation
- The clinometer, known in many fields as an inclinometer, is a common tool used in forestry to measure slope, vertical angles, and - in combination with distance measurements - elevation change or tree heights.
- Hand instrument used by foresters and timber cruisers to measure vertical angles. Such angles, when correlated with specific distances, indicate the height of standing trees (12).
- An instrument that is held at eye level to read stump height and merchantable or total height when standing 50 and 66 feet from the base of the tree. The difference between the two readings yields the height.
- An instrument used to measure angles of inclination. Used in conjunction with a ceiling light, it determines cloud height at night, based on the angle of a projected light on the clouds, the observer, and the ceiling light.
- An instrument used to determine the height of a tree.
- A device used in measuring the angle of elevation from eye level to the top of a tree. This instrument is used to help calculate tree height.
- An instrument for measuring the angle of slopes, usually in inches per yard, consisting of a weighted graduated wheel with movable sights.
- An instrument which measures the steepness of a hill.
