How To: Measure a Yard Full of Obstacles with Moasure

[@alfredoc.l.4703]

This video is highly edited, and that makes you wonder about the veracity of the device’s measurements. It is assumed that the measurement was done in a single sequence in a single stroke with a single route, and that the error was 0.8% in the first measurement, that is impossible!!!! With the way it was measured, dropping the device, putting it in corners and then removing it abruptly, in the ground, in tall weeds, hesitating when putting it down, not moving as fast as it says, etc., many errors when measuring, and as it was measured I am sure that there was not even a percentage of error due to how high it was. You can see in the video that up to minute 1:30 he records himself with his cell phone, at 1:31 he no longer has his cell phone in his hand, from 1:36 to 2:11 he records himself with his cell phone again, at 2:12 he no longer has his cell phone, 2:14 he records himself with his cell phone again, at 2:55 he no longer has his cell phone in his hand, 2:50 he records himself again, 3:00 he no longer has his cell phone, at 3:06 he records himself again, at 3:23 he no longer has his cell phone and so on throughout the entire video. It is clear that it was measured several times and the scenes were put together.

Hi Alfredo, thank you for sharing your observations and feedback on our tutorials! We understand that video editing can sometimes raise questions about the validity of measurements, so we’re happy to clarify a few points. Videos such as this one are often shot with multiple different angles to demonstrate the overarching conditions of the site, including drone footage to provide aerial shots, to enhance the viewer’s contextual understanding of the plot we’re measuring. In this instance, this was done to show the complexity of the site. In addition, as Barry was the only person on this site, he was singlehandedly measuring with the Moasure STICK in one hand, and recording with the other hand - which on a dense and built-up site like this one, can be a challenge! This is why there are a number of different cuts from different angles, to both portray a comprehensive overview of the site (including commentary) and still make it manageable for Barry to film as the only one present on the plot. The screen recording of the measurement diagram demonstrates the single sequence Barry had taken when measuring the yard, showing the true start-finish error, which has been interspersed with video commentary. We understand how this could give the impression of multiple shots being taken, however editing the footage together in this way provides more contextual information about the device, technique and other interesting features as the measurement is in process, which may be helpful for viewers who perhaps have never encountered Moasure’s technology before. We create different styles of educational tutorial content which may be more suited to your preferences, and which involve fewer edits and often have been created with at least two of our Moasure team whilst filming, including this Complete Moasure 2 PRO Demo which was uploaded last month: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovGhmeqidqmp8Usi=SfZ72Wom_5E9iHT6, this Playground Measurement Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZmuaWBvq5qDh80si=BYqncrwQtKhYO6jh and Yard Measurement Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4G8mmOvgZyeZ6Msi=ilcB_b_eu8lXHmwH
