I'm currently working on an adapter that would allow connecting the Terrapin X, Bushnell ConX and other BT LE rangefinders to the Trimble Nomad using the serial boot. Cost comes to < $150. My question is, how many here would really be interested getting one of these? Is anyone holding off getting FFS on a Nomad (or similar WM6 system with a serial port) because it won't connect to these LRF's?
Right now, FFS uses the serial port to connect to the Vector/PLRF units from Vectronix, but they are pretty high dollar and some people can't/won't pay that much, the Terrapin is way more reasonable and still quite capable. I get a lot of mileage from the combo of the Vector/GPS/FFS system, the Terrapin provides the same data so you can get an instant solution with range, azimuth and inclination, plus the GPS location of a target.
So, interest level?
