The Hoodman Sky Ruler HSKR5 is a precise scale reference for drone surveying, photogrammetry and professional aerial surveying. It is placed within the capture area and provides a known reference length that can be used to verify and trace the scale during subsequent evaluation of aerial images.
The Sky Ruler consists of five individual elements, each measuring 1 × 1 foot. When assembled, the individual segments form a clearly visible reference with a total length of 5 feet, or approximately 152.4 cm. This provides a defined size reference directly within the captured terrain for mapping and surveying shots.
The individual Sky Ruler elements are connected to one another via a quick-connect system. According to the manufacturer, the complete Sky Ruler can be assembled in less than 60 seconds and disassembled in less than 30 seconds. This allows the reference to be deployed quickly even when measurement positions change.
The elements are made from durable hard thermoplastic polymer. The material is designed for regular use in drone surveying, photogrammetry and aerial mapping applications. Dirt and soiling can be removed with mild soapy water.
The scope of delivery includes a compact carry bag with shoulder strap. After use, the five elements can be stored in a space-saving manner and conveniently transported to the next location. Before storage, cleaned elements should be completely dry.
The Hoodman Sky Ruler is suitable as a reference tool for professional drone surveying, UAV surveying, photogrammetry and aerial mapping. The defined reference length supports traceable size and scale verification during the evaluation of aerial images, for example when documenting areas, objects or traces.

Questions & Answers▲
Q&A hier…
```html id="v9k3md"What is the total length of the Hoodman HSKR5 Sky Ruler when assembled?
The fully assembled Hoodman HSKR5 Sky Ruler has a defined reference length of 5 feet, or approximately 152.4 cm. This known length serves as a visible scale reference in aerial images and during subsequent image analysis.
How many segments does the Hoodman Sky Ruler consist of?
The Sky Ruler consists of five individual segments. Each element measures 1 × 1 foot, approximately 30.5 × 30.5 cm. When connected, the five elements create a total reference length of 5 feet, or approximately 152.4 cm.
What is the Hoodman HSKR5 used for in drone surveying?
The Hoodman HSKR5 is used as a physical scale reference for drone surveying, photogrammetry and aerial mapping. It is placed within the survey area to provide a known reference length that can be used to verify and confirm scale during aerial image evaluation.
Is the Hoodman Sky Ruler a Ground Control Point?
No. The Hoodman Sky Ruler is not a conventional Ground Control Point marker. Hoodman describes it as a scaling constraint for aerial mapping. Its purpose is to provide a defined physical reference for checking dimensions and scale within the captured scene.
How quickly can the HSKR5 Sky Ruler be assembled?
According to Hoodman, the complete Sky Ruler can be assembled in less than 60 seconds. It can be dismantled in less than 30 seconds, making it practical for survey work involving multiple measurement or capture locations.
How are the individual Sky Ruler segments connected?
The five elements use a quick-snap interlocking system. This allows the segments to be joined quickly into a continuous scale reference and separated again after use.
What material is the Hoodman Sky Ruler made from?
The individual segments are made from a durable hard thermoplastic polymer. The material is suitable for repeated use in surveying, photogrammetry and aerial mapping applications.
How much does the Hoodman HSKR5 Sky Ruler weigh?
According to the manufacturer, the Hoodman HSKR5 weighs approximately 4 lb, or about 1.81 kg. Its modular design and included carrying bag make it convenient to transport between survey locations.
Is a carrying bag included with the Hoodman Sky Ruler?
Yes. A compact carrying bag with shoulder strap is included. The bag measures approximately 12 × 12 × 3 inches, or about 30.5 × 30.5 × 7.6 cm, and is designed to hold the disassembled Sky Ruler segments.
How should the Hoodman Sky Ruler be cleaned after use?
Hoodman recommends cleaning the segments with mild soap and water. The elements should be completely dry before they are placed back into the carrying bag for storage.
