So I was worried about the magnetic interference I got from my tripod if I mount my vectronix directly on a ball head vs resting it on a bag. I tested the heading with my Cammenga 3H. Turn out that the tripod introduces about 10 degrees of interference. When I put that into my AB, it only changes the elevation by .02 mils at 1750 yards. This is about .35 yards or a little over a foot (2 mil = 20 yards at 1000 yards or 35 yards at 1750 carry back 2 decimal places I get .35 yards) - Is my analysis and calc on elevation correct and is my conclusion correct that I would rather have my range finder firmly fixed and ranging steadier than free hand to save the interference? I can use my LabRadar tripod when on my belly- thats all aluminum and plastic and introduces no interference.
This is only for ranging and a firing solution, not for any sort of geolocation or navigation. For that I would rather use both my garmin and my trusty compass.
