Forest Inventory Fashion

Donn dons the latest in forest inventory fashion, testing out the iPad Mini version of the chest pack. Now everyone will want one.

Tablet-Ex-Gear iPad Mini Chest Packs Now Available

Just ordered mine. We've been waiting for the mini version to come out. For those foresters who like chest packs, this is the one designed specifically for the purpose. $129.95 USD. I've spoken a couple times with Brian Saunders, the designer up in British Columbia,...

Maddy and I visited the Society of American Foresters meeting down in Asheville, NC, showing Forest Metrix to a fairly sophisticated group.  While there we met up with a client, John Culp, who flies remote control helicopters on the side, sometimes even in service of...

Chest Case for Forestry Tablets

by Tig Tillinghast | May 10, 2013 | Cases, Foresters, Hardware, Instruments, Ruggedizing | 0 Comments

A former forester up in British Columbia, Brian Saunders, came up with a brilliant chest pack for tablets. He started off with an iPad-sized one, and we called him up right away to ask about an iPad Mini-sized variant. It took him but a few weeks to make a prototype,...

Waterproof iPad Mini Case (iPega) Review Update

by Tig Tillinghast | Apr 8, 2013 | Cases, Hardware, Non-Forestry Uses, Research and Studies, Riparian, Ruggedizing, Uncategorized | 0 Comments

Tig's Take: It handled the two-year-old during the pre-bedtime bath. There isn't much worse it could be subjected to. I did notice that placing a sharp-cornered plastic box  made a little mark in the rubbery screen protector. The box was only about half a pound in...

Forest Metrix Runs on Microsoft Surface Tablet: The Review

by Tig Tillinghast | Mar 31, 2013 | Apps, GIS, Hardware, Instruments, Uncategorized | 0 Comments

We've been developing the Forest Metrix timber inventory app to be Windows compatible all along, so we bought a Surface Pro, loaded the forestry app, and it ran without a hitch the first time. The new Microsoft Surface Pro is essentially a little PC running Windows 8...

Waterproof Tablet Case for Forest Inventory App

by Tig Tillinghast | Mar 31, 2013 | Foresters, Hardware, Instruments, Landowners, Navigation, Non-Forestry Uses, Ruggedizing, Uncategorized | 0 Comments

The Ipega waterproof iPad Mini case appears to work well, even passing the hand-it-to-your-two-year-old-in-the-bathtub test, which says something. If it can do that, it can handle forest inventories. It does not appear to be as hardy as a case as, say, the Otterbox...

Trying Out New Waterproofing Process

by Tig Tillinghast | Feb 17, 2013 | Hardware, Non-Forestry Uses, Riparian, Ruggedizing | 0 Comments

We've relied on cases like the Lifeproof case for waterproofing in the past, but there's a new technology out that infuses waterproofing throughout the electronics at a molecular level. You can see it at liquipel.com. We're sending a couple units out there to get...

Tradeshow Graphics Came In

by Tig Tillinghast | Jan 23, 2013 | Business of Forestry, Trade Shows, Uncategorized | 0 Comments

  Our first graphic came in for the background for our launch tradeshow booth. Our focus group of one exclaimed, "It's huge" over and over again. So we know the size is appreciated, but, then again, she's under three feet tall. We will be launching Forest Metrix...
