Theodolites are only good up to about 400 yards
I can give you manufacturers specifications
You didnt do your research
wait do you know what a theodolite is?
it measures angles, not distance
sorry I'm a CE surveyor, you're wrong
The angles can only be measured accurately up to 400 yards or so
No you're wrong
yards isn't angle
Lol
i'm not using it in distance mode
No you're 100% wrong sorry
Its not accurate past 400 yards
It reports the visual angle between any two things in your view
And it can tell you horizontal accurately
Show me specs saying a theodolite measures a horizon 6 miles away
Then ill believe you
Gtg
This explains it well : http://www.johnsonlevel.com/News/TheodolitesAllAboutTheodo
It isnt' measuring the distance
then you can measure teh angle
And that's all you need
K where does it say accuracy
For distance
It's not used for distance
it's used for measuring angles
like a sextant
You cant measure an angle that far away
Youre wrong
A theodolite /θiːˈɒdəlaɪt/ is a precision optical instrument for measuring angles between designated visible points in the horizontal and vertical planes.
No you're wrong, if it' sin your view you can measure the visual angle
Dunno why you're saying this
Just like i can measure angular size of the moon or sun
or an object out in the ocean
1 microrad is a typical resolution for the angle
@Hedwig - that stupid old video 😂 lmfao
who SAID it has to always be (EXACTLY) "eye-level" hmmmmmmmmmmmmm??
you mussa been tlkin to the wrong muhfkn flat earthers lmao!..
flat earthers say that
