I've been using a 'Haglof' clinometer for the past few years, really simple to use, quick and accurate. Also useful for measuring angles (stem bias, etc.) The beauty of it is that it dosn't seem to matter how far you are away from a tree for taking height data. The only negative attribute is the price and fear of losing it (its not very big) and because of the colour difficult to see on some ground. The newer models are orange- far better!
