Hey Pat,
Good point re the tripod and head; as in photography (and life in general), good support makes a world of difference π Also really good point about beam divergence, on my Vector/Viper the stated divergence is β€ 2x2 mrad which at longer ranges is starting to be quite a big dot! Don't forget the target albedo either, I've found this to massively affect measurements.
I'm guessing you work in motorsport or similar if your working with AS/DT/DTMs on a regular basis? I only picked up my crimp tools because I have some surplus mil avionics panels I wanted to wire up and so needed something that could crimp the 39029 contacts (eBay has some good bargains on nice tooling from time to time).
Do let me know when you get more connectors in stock; at the prices you mentioned back in your earlier posts I'd be interested in a one or two cables with all the contacts brought out to flying leads - I'm thinking of knocking up a couple of break out boxes or maybe some modular cables so I can connect straight to a GPS, or a tablet, or a trigger, or whatever really rather than having to have a dedicated cable for each device.
Thanks again.
