Power Portable Telescope

 

How to specify and buy your ideal, high-power, monitoring, stable, portable reflector telescope?

What would you choose to open and the coordination length? Suppose you already have a good 5 "GEM Newtonian reflector. What would you buy pre-assembled (given remaining competitive in today's free market) and what you build yourself to save costs? I like the split ring and the equatorial mount platform. Assume no access driven woodworking or metal working tools. What are its specifications and its approach to an ideal telescope along these lines but with a budget of about $ 50 a month, all the time needed for the acquisition of a wide-ranging investigation, celestial quality.

Well First, I would buy the telescope used. Secondly, I'd get an 8 "Meade and Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain that comes with tracking. Dobsonians are great, but for astrophotography, the equatorial platforms are very expensive and require a building or power tools or wood working hand-driven and excellent abilities of the machine, not to mention a lot of time. Believe it or not, building your own telescope neccisarily not cheaper than buying a pre-made a more.

This particular PowerView binocular offers an 8x magnification and a 21mm objective diameter.

Additional features include a nonslip rubber armor housing that absorbs shock while providing a firm grip, a neck strap and a carrying case for easy transport, and 9mm of eye relief. Specifications: Magnification: 8x Objective lens diameter: 21mm Size class: Compact Focus system: Center Prism system: Roof Prism glass: BK-7 Lens coating: Fully Field of view @ 1,000 yards: 378 feet Close focus distance: 21 feet Exit pupil: 2.6mm Eye relief: 9mm Eyecups: Fold down Waterproof/fogproof: No Adapts to tripod: No Weight: 7 ounces Warranty: Limited lifetime Tech Talk Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image. Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view. Roof Prism System: In roof prism binoculars the prisms overlap closely, allowing the objective lenses to line up directly with the eyepiece. The result is a slim, stream-lined shape in which the lenses and prisms are in a straight line.

AC and DC Power The Schumacher PP-2200 is designed to serve all of your portable AC and DC power needs. The unit's front control panel holds two three-pronged AC outlets which are powered by its built-in 400-watt inverter and cooling fan. Together these allow for safe, effecient conversion of the DC oriented power of the 22Ah battery into AC power suitable for electrical devices that exhibit a power draw of 400-watts or less. In the event of a power draw in excess of 400-watts, the inverter is designed to automatically shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment. The unit's front control panel also contains a convenient inverter on/off switch which allows users to keep devices plugged without causing an uneccessary drain on the internal battery. After plugging in, simply flip the switch on when you need AC and flip it off when you are finished. Access to DC power is even easier via the side-oriented DC cigarette lighter style outlet. Providing a full 12-volts/15-amp max, this power is always on, meaning that all you need to do is plug in your device via its DC power adapter (not included) and let the power flow. Maintaining Your Charge From Anywhere Maintaining the charge within the Schumacher PP-2200 is a breeze as well. After use, and when near to a standard wall outlet, simply connect the PP-2200 to it via the included AC wall charger. Once a full charge has been attained the unit will automatically go into maintain mode and maintain the battery at full charge without damaging it if you choose to leave the PP-2200 plugged in. You can even charge the internal battery of the PP-2200 while driving using the male-to-male charger cable (p/n: 38-99-001564 – sold separately). To do so insert one end of the accessory cable into the 12-volt DC power outlet and the other end into the vehicle's accessory outlet (lighter socket), ensuring that the DC charging accessory is unplugged when your vehicle's engine is not running to prevent car battery drainage. Either way that you choose to charge the PP-2200 you can monitor the units charging status right from its control panel with the push of a button.

What is the difference if .....?

Two identical observers are watching a clock stop traveling at the speed of light from a star distant. A viewer with the naked eye, the other a high-powered telescope. What would each of the spectators say the clock is read. (Does any difference?) would be a small difference in relation to the length of the telescope or would be able to see farther into space faster with the telescope?? my brain will explode!

__________________________________________________________ The light will be slightly delayed in the telescope, because the light slows down in the lenses glass. If the observer at first glance it reads 10.00, then the observer with the telescope will read a little later 10.00 naked eye observers say that is 10.00, the observer with the telescope will say "No, not yet" ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Description

Celestron and ;s SkyMaster Series of large aperture binoculars are a phenomenal value for high performance binoculars ideal for astronomical viewing or for terrestrial (land) use - especially over long distances. Each SkyMaster model features high quality BAK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics for enhanced contrast. Celestron has designed and engineered the larger SkyMaster models to meet the special demands of extended astronomical or terrestrial viewing sessions. The 15x70 version is one of the most popular models in the series. It offers serious large aperture light gathering in an affordable and reasonably lightweight configuration.

Binoculars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes these days, and an even wider range of prices. It's easy to spend less than $100 or more than $500 for what may appear to be, at least outwardly, comparable models. While they may look the same, they are probably quite different on the inside. Recently, the binocular market has seen a flood of giant binoculars at prices that were unheard of just a few years ago. In general, giant binoculars are defined as those that magnify the view 10 times or more and have 70-mm or larger front (objective) lenses. It used to be that the least expensive giant binoculars cost in excess of $150, even $200. All that changed not long ago, when the bottom fell out of the price cellar. Now, several companies import giant binoculars that sell for half that, or less. Celestron's 15x70 SkyMaster binoculars are one of the leaders in the low-price giant binocular arena. They certainly sound good on paper. The SkyMasters include multicoated optics and BaK-4 internal prisms, two features that promise brighter, better images, and key points to look for when judging a pair of binoculars. They also come with an adapter for attaching them to a photo tripod, which is a must to use them to their fullest, and a soft carrying case. But just because they are cheap doesn't always mean they are worth the price. Would it be better to save up for a more expensive pair? To find the answer, I had an opportunity recently to judge the SkyMasters against a pair of Fujinon 16x70 FMT-SX binoculars , one of the finest pairs of giant binoculars sold today. Like the SkyMasters, the Fujinons feature BaK-4 prisms, but also have fully multicoated optics. As a general rule, superior coatings mean superior image sharpness and contrast. But then, that should be expected, given that the Fujinons cost many times more than the Celestrons. While the Fujinons were clearly the better performer, the Celestron SkyMasters held up admirably. Image brightness, quality, and contrast were all remarkable considering their bargain price. Although images were a little soft across the outer 25% of the Celestron's field, the overall view was impressive nonetheless. Some inexpensive binoculars have very sloppy focusing, causing the eyepieces to tilt and shift. Not so with the SkyMasters. I found that their center-focusing mechanism worked smoothly, with no apparently backlash or wobble. Eye relief (the distance you hold your eyes away from the eyepieces to see the full field) is stated to be 18 mm, a good distance for higher power binoculars and an important consideration if you must wear glasses when viewing. The SkyMasters are also light enough to support by hand for short periods of time, although buyers would be well advised to mount them on a sturdy photo tripod. The bottom line is, if you are considering a pair of giant binoculars, whether for bird watching, stargazing, or another recreational use, and have a limited budget, Celestron's giant 15x70 SkyMasters represent an excellent value. --Phil Harrington, author of Star Ware and Star Watch Pros: Exceptional value for the price Light enough to support by hand BaK-4 prisms Multicoated optics Cons: Outer 25% of the field is soft and a little blurry Requires a tripod to use for extended periods

Features

  • Multi-coated optics
  • Large aperture perfect for low light conditions and stargazing
  • Tripod adapter
  • 13 mm (0.51 in) long eye relief ideal for eyeglass wearers

Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector Telescope Orion SpaceProbe 3 Altazimuth Reflector Telescope

Sale Price: $99.99

 

Description

Orion's surprising little Spaceprobe 3 has been picked by independent reviewers as one of the best telescopes in its price class. Unlike similar telescopes seen in discount stores, Orion has refined the Spaceprobe 3 by paying attention to the little details, and that make this telescope a great value. The Spaceprobe 3 comes with an unusually complete set of accessories. The package includes two very good Explorer II eyepieces (25mm and 10mm), an adjustable altazimuth tripod, a good red-dot finder, a student edition of "The Sky" planetarium program, and a well written manual. The package even includes the tools you'll need to assemble the telescope and align the optics. The Spaceprobe 3 is a Newtonian reflector. That means it uses mirrors instead of lenses. Newtonians are primarily used for astronomy because the images are upside-down. Orion includes a collimation tool and good directions for aligning the mirrors. The reward for aligning the mirrors is seen in images that snap into sharp focus. My Spaceprobe 3 arrived properly aligned right out of the box. With its Explorer II eyepieces, this telescope consistently delivers fine views. Using the 25mm eyepiece (28x magnification) the Pleiades cluster is simply wonderful, showing dozens of stars. From a rural location with a dark sky, the Orion Nebula is a big ghostly glow, and when I zoom in with the 10mm eyepiece, the Trapezium resolves into four tiny pinpoints. The double star Gamma Andromeda becomes two beads of light, one gold, the other one pale blue. Moon and planet images are crisp, with none of the false color I see in low cost refractors. When I look at the Moon I see mountains and terraced walls inside the larger craters. With the 10mm eyepiece (about 70x), Saturn's rings are sharply separated from the planet, and I can even pick out the planet's shadow on the rings. The Altazimuth mount included with this telescope is light and easy to use; it may be the best choice for a young astronomer. If you want motorized tracking of the stars and planets, Orion's Spaceprobe 3 EQ is available with an equatorial mount, and Celestron sells essentially the same optical system with the computerized NexStar 76GT. -Jeff Phillips Pros: Best in class optical performance Two good Explorer II eyepieces Complete accessory package Cons: Small 76mm aperture Upside-down terrestrial images

If you're looking for an affordable entry-level telescope for that beginning astronomy enthusiast, our SpaceProbe 3 Altaz is the perfect choice. Great for all-around stargazing, this highly portable, uncomplicated scope is just the right size and weight for the entire family, and just the right price for parents. This is a quality telescope, with a 3" (76mm) glass primary mirror mounted in a sturdy Neptune Blue Metallic aluminum tube. The rack-and-pinion focuser accepts standard 1.25" eyepieces. Two Explorer II eyepieces, a low-power 25mm (28x) and a high-power 10mm (70x), are included. An EZ Finder II finder scope mounted on the tube helps zero-in on the sky target. The altazimuth mount is lightweight and easy to use. To aim it, simply move it up or down or left or right. An adjustable, aluminum tripod with accessory tray is also included. One-year limited warranty.

Features

  • A fantastic beginner telescope that's lightweight.
  • 76mm aperture reflector telescope is large enough for wonderful views of the Moon.
  • The included EZ Finder II makes finding celestial objects a breeze.
  • Includes two 1.25" telescope eyepieces, EZ Finder II reflex sight, smooth rack and pinion focuser.

The delay is costing your sales team

Occasionally it makes sense to step back and see how we are doing. The assessment of how it sells is no exception. But sometimes, as with all other business challenges we face, it's easier to procrastinate. This has been true of sales function, as you'll see.

Offers are larger and more comprehensive information. As a result, buyers have changed the way buy, but sellers have not responded to the changes.

Is among the biggest recession in history, but the vast majority of sellers are selling as if it were 1970. That's why ...

-It 's harder to get appointments with decision makers.

"You are increasingly perceived as a commodity.

"Sales cycles are longer and less close deals.

-50% Of sales executives surveyed are dissatisfied with their results sales.

The sales landscape is changing rapidly. What worked well a few years ago is no longer effective. Companies that recognize trends and adapt to them will be rewarded with higher market share and profitability.

In 2006, when the economy was booming, 41.5% of respondents were satisfied with their sales results. As the economy into a recession, sales of goals to be much more difficult to achieve.

Key points

-A stable well-trained sales team to follow a sales process always deliver better results.

"Sales is the engine that drives the business. Do not assume that because their representatives have experience, are the challenge.

"Your traditional feature / benefit selling point is probably a liability in a complex sale relationship-oriented.

"Customers today want to solve problems, not products dealers.

"The companies attempt to increase income through increasing the type and amount of activity, but this effort is less and less effective.

"Training your sales staff is essential if you want to grow so profitable.

"Reinventing" Sell, that's what an article in the January 28, 2008 in the Wall Street Journal suggests.

Ram Charan, a consultant business that works with senior executives from the likes of General Electric and Verizon Communications, said that "began to see companies with good strategies, good technology and costs of a good question, 'Why do not you get better results? "The sales force has been neglected"

He found that companies focused on the back of business: operations, accounting, finance, general expenses. But the sales force had been neglected. "In a slow economy marketing and sales often cut. The usual is being cut and why.

So what went wrong? Charan suggests the following.

"The sales function has traditionally been on the run. They are trained to know the product, and beat the competition in the price. "But the world has changed. Copying product has become easy to do. As a result," It has become very difficult to differentiate a customer's eyes for business to business sales. So sellers should not sell the product more. They should find what the customer needs. "

He continues: "Vendors have to learn the client's business. They must learn to ask the right questions. They need analytical skills to diagnose business of a client. "

Yes sir Charan is correct. Something is very wrong in the world of selling. As a business development sales force, we have known this for a long time.

While many training programs try to teach sales skills more productive, the conclusion is that changes in the how to sell have been minimal, and the creation of a chaotic sales environment does not serve the customer well, and very expensive for your company.

There is indeed a state of chaos in the sale today, although most of us are too close to the trees to see the forest. We are so involved in the battle Sales of everyday life that we have lost sight of the need to adjust our strategy to address the subtle changes that have occurred over the years. These changes are subtle expose many weaknesses in our sales and how they sell.

These deficiencies are causing mounting to work very hard to get just mediocre results.

If you are unsure of these statements are relevant to you and your sales team, take a moment to think about these questions. Chances are that will help you understand if you have been delays in the assessment of your sales team or has things under control.

- Why this last super star hired you can not produce?

Why are the expectations of most of the sales not even close to reality?

Why do not close when it comes to their representatives say they will?

Why do not want their representatives to make more money?

"If your sales managers really managing the sales campaign?

- Why are your representatives always seem to need concessions to close deals? (Why not sell the value of your company products and services?)

- Why do customers say one thing and then do something completely different?

- Why the typical sales meeting of the company that everyone leave discouraged and frustrated?

"What really happens between the initial contact with perspective and the end of the sales cycle?

- Why did your last investment in sales training pay?

Description

The dominant themes of director Sidney Lumet's distinguished career are in full force in this moral melodrama involving a young district attorney (Andy Garcia) who takes on a career-making case only to uncover his father's possible involvement in pervasive police corruption. Balancing personal ethics and political compromise in a high-wire act of power and its abuse, Lumet relies on dialogue and superb performances (including those by Ron Leibman, Richard Dreyfuss, and Lena Olin) to achieve a devastating impact. The script (based on the novel Tainted Evidence by Robert Daley) is too smart and Lumet's direction too sure-footed to fall back on the black-and-white exploits of conventional criminals and their crimes. The movie's moral framework (like that of Lumet's earlier film Q&A) is more realistic, dealing in the gray areas between right and wrong where misdeeds can arise from the best intentions. At the center of Garcia's dilemma is his father, a seasoned New York cop played so convincingly by Ian Holm that you'd never guess the actor was British. Although it received mixed reviews when released in 1997, Night Falls on Manhattan ranks among Lumet's finest films. --Jeff Shannon

Description

Dehumidifier BenefitsThe high capacity dehumidifier has been designed to absorb moisture from small enclosed areas. It will help protect clothes and valuables from the damaging effects of mold / mildew and moisture rot. It is 100% renewable and needs no power to operate. Just hang the eva-dry unit in a closet, or you can place it in other small enclosed spaces, and it will start absorbing moisture immediately. There are no batteries required or cords to plug in, the unit works without power.DetailsThere is an indicator window with special "moisture meter crystals" that change from blue (when dry) to pink (when wet) to indicate when the unit needs to be "renewed". The unit will absorb approximately 8-10 ounces of moisture (depending on humidity levels this should take approximately 4-8 weeks). Once the moisture has been adsorbed it cannot leak or spill. This unit uses a specialized engineered crystallized silica gel that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe. When the indicator crystals turn pink it is time to "re-new" the unit. Simply remove the unit from where it is absorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet in a well ventilated area (bathroom with extraction fan, garage, outside, etc.) There is a built in heater that will warm the crystals allowing them to expand and release the moisture as water vapor into the outside air. It takes about 12-14 hours to completely re-new the unit. When it is completely renewed the indicator crystals will change back to blue. The unit is brand new again and ready to absorb another 8-10 ounces of moisture. The crystals will remain active for 10 years and we offer a 5 year limited manufactures warranty on all EDV-500 units.Eva-Dry High Capacity DehumidifierEVD-500Size: 8" x 2.5" x 5.5"Color: Off White

Sale Price: $69.99

Description

In order to reach your fitness goals, you need to exercise at the right intensity. The Polar RS100 wrist heart rate monitor helps you to easily and accurately measure your heart rate to help you get to just the right intensity or your exertion level. This basic HRM features added stopwatch and time-of-day watch features as well as extra-large digits for easy readability. The Time in Target Zone feature calculates the amount of total exercise time spent in your personal target zone. You can use this feature together with the Total Exercise Time to determine the effectiveness of your exercise program. The RS100 displays heart rate as beats per minute (beats per minute) and as a percentage of the maximum heart rate. The Target Zone feature can be set manually or automatically (for age/weight), and the RS100 provides visual and auditory alarms when you've moved away from the zone. Other features include dual time zone, alarm with snooze, and water resistance to 50 meters. It's a great choice for using in large groups, where other exercisers might be using wireless training gear that could interfere with your own signal. The RS100's coded transmission prevents crosstalk with other monitors so you'll get a personalized workout--even in a class environment. It also includes the following exclusive Polar features: Polar OwnCal: This feature shows your energy expenditure during one exercise session as well as your accumulated kilocalories during several exercise sessions. You can set daily and weekly exercise goals in terms of calorie expenditure with the OwnCal feature. Because the OwnCal tracks both the energy expenditure during one exercise session and the accumulated kilocalories during a longer time e.g. one week, it helps in achieving both short term and long term goals. Polar OwnZone: This feature guides you through an appropriate warm-up routine and automatically determines a safe and effective exercise heart rate zone--your OwnZone--while taking into account your current physical condition. Manufacturer's Warranty The original purchaser of this heart rate monitor is backed by a limited warranty that states that this product that the product will be free from defects in material or workmanship for two years from the date of purchase. Note: Polar heart rate monitors are precision instruments; consumers are not advised to change their own battery. Polar recommends that all service be done by an authorized Polar Service Center which will include a warranty for 90 days on repairs and 6 months for batteries. About Polar The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of "intensity training" by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.

cleaning mirror on dobsonian telescope?

what about cleaning the mirrors? do u really have to?

You really shouldn't have to if it has been covered. I always make sure to put the lens cap back on, and then I throw a sheet over it if I am not putting back in the box. I also point it down (point the mirror down) so even if a little dust gets inside it wont settle on the mirror. Here is a website for you.....

8 Must-haves for the Independant Claims Adjuster

Making a responsible decision to become an insurance adjuster, particularly an independent insurance adjuster, means knowing what equipment, gear, or "stuff" an adjuster should have in the field. Because independent insurance adjusters operate as independent contractors, they are frequently required to supply their own adjusting equipment. In general, there are 8 things that every independent adjuster should plan to have in the field. These items are not merely luxuries, but more like necessities, without which the job becomes difficult if not altogether impossible.

In Part I of this article, we will look at the first four:

Must-Have #1: A Vehicle.

This is a bit of a no-brainer. The real question is what kind of vehicle an independent adjuster should drive. Some folks are under the impression that a claim cannot be properly handled unless you first arrive in an F-350 Turbo Diesel Dually. Certainly there are benefits to having a powerful truck in the field but in this author's opinion the better vehicle alternative is probably a smaller gas-efficient car. With foldable and telescoping ladders available everywhere, you can stow your ladder away neatly in any average-size sedan or coupe's trunk. Independent adjusters might drive a hundred or more miles daily so the issue of fuel economy should not be taken lightly. Further, negotiating your way through a heavily-trafficked street in Miami or New Orleans is far easier in a nimble Accord than in a blocky Hummer. And finally, in some areas, adjusters may just as soon not draw attention to themselves. Pulling into a high crime neighborhood in a $50,000 automobile wouldn't make me feel altogether easy. For my money, I'd prefer to just pass under the radar in an '01 Camry. Obviously the question is finally resolved by what kind of vehicle you are comfortable with. But keep in mind that the job can be done just as efficiently in a small coupe as a full-sized pickup.

Must-Have #2: Navigation Device

A good GPS system might be the single best investment an independent adjuster can make. Independent adjusters, especially when working catastrophic claims, might scope four to six properties in a day. These properties may be spread out over a surprisingly wide geographical area. Using a traditional paper map is laughable when compared to the amazing speed and accuracy of a dash mounted GPS system. In fact, I would estimate a GPS system saves an adjuster at least of an hour a day in missed turns and forced stops to consult the Rand McNally. Project this over a month and you have a good 30 hours, or over an entire day, of time saved. That’s an extra four or five claims closed per month. In some cases I would estimate that a GPS system can increase an adjuster's efficiency by as many as 10 claims per month. Cat adjusters are paid per claim, so that’s an extra $2,000 to $5,000 in pocket per month. And finally, the frustration alone that a GPS prevents is worth the price tag.

A dash mounted GPS is a good option. Most models have more features than you will ever use so keep it basic and don't bother with anything over $700. A far lower priced option and one that is still absolutely packed with features is a program like Microsoft Streets and Trips. This $100 program is meant to be installed on your laptop and comes with a GPS device that connects to your computer via a standard USB plug-in. Streets and Trips allows you to take 10 destinations, find your current location, and calculate the quickest way to visit all 10. This is an excellent feature when planning your day's claim route.

Must-Have #3: Laptop Computer

The days of hand-writing claims are essentially over. Electronic preparation and delivery of estimates is now standard and a laptop computer is the technology for the task. Xactimate and MSB IntegriClaim are the most commonly employed estimating programs and have minimum system requirements. Count on having a laptop with at least a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, 1.5 Gig of free hard drive space available, and a monitor resolution of 1024X768 or higher. With that in mind, don't let unconscientious salesmen or websites push heavy graphic packages or upgraded sound cards if you are buying a new laptop. You want to write estimates with this computer - not play Halo on a network in a college dorm.

Some adjusters have recently begun using tablet laptops (laptops with touch screens that swivel and fold down on themselves). In theory an adjuster could take such a laptop on a residential or commercial claim, hold it like a clipboard, and write the majority off the estimate in electronic form at the property. As usual, however, the technology for tablets is slightly behind the conceptual and promotional curve. I'd recommend waiting a few more years for the workability of the technology to catch up with the concept (which is a good one).

Must-Have #4: A Good Ladder

Roof damage due to hail and high winds results in tens of thousands of claims yearly and property adjusters should be prepared to spend some time on roofs. A good ladder is your connection to the roof. Most accidents befalling claims adjusters involve ladders and the interchange between ladder and roof. Having a stable ladder should help give an adjuster peace of mind.

There are three types of ladders in common usage. Foldable ladders are an excellent option for adjusters. They come in a variety of models all of which will generally break down to around 5ft in their folded state. This is small enough to fit into virtually any trunk unless your adjusting vehicle of choice is a Miata. Wood models are even becoming available in fold-up form and are a better option than aluminum when working in areas where encounters with power lines may be of concern. Another highly compact ladder is the telescoping ladder. Telescoping ladders are generally the most compact ladder on the market today. The primary drawback, and it is a big one, is that a step will occasionally disappear when sufficient weight or the wrong directional force sends a rung of the ladder zipping into the one below it. This can have disastrous results. If you are going for compact, I'd recommend the foldable variety. Traditional ladders are generally quite stable and secure but can't match the versatility of the foldable ladder.

Must-Have #5: Digital Camera

A claims adjuster must represent as accurately as possible the damages or lack thereof to the claimant's property – literally painting a picture whereby file reviewers can asses the situation remotely. Sketching and watercolors aside, you need a camera and if you want to close claims quickly it had better be digital. Some claims with multiple types of damages can require hundreds of photos and scanning in that kind of number manually would be a nightmare. Digital cameras are quick, efficient, and built for the electronic estimate delivery. Don't bother with an SLR or, for that matter, anything costing you more than $300. You want something smallish, somewhat light, and preferably having a good return policy. In the process of doing a scope, particularly while scaling ladders and maneuvering about roofs, it is extremely easy to drop your camera – sometimes several stories down. A good return policy ensures that your purchase is safe. Regarding mega-pixels - anything above 7 or 8 mega-pixels is probably overkill. Do remember that digital cameras require an inordinate amount of batteries so be sure to always have at least three spare sets before going out to scope claims.

Must-Have #6: Measuring Devices

There are two broad initial determinations made when assessing property damage: what is damaged and how much? Measuring devices tell you how much. A simple 25ft Tape Measure is your first tool. From there you should at least consider expanding your tool-kit to a laser tape measure. Imagine you are scoping a residence with interior damage to multiple rooms. The first room is quite large and filled with heavy clutter. Instead of trying to thread 18ft of tape out of your FatMax through sofa and electronic equipment in one direction and then another 22ft across a bar-set in the other direction, you simply click once in each direction and Presto!, you have your measurements. If you are measuring 5 or more rooms in one house you will probably shave 15 minutes off your scoping time. Over the course of a month, this time saved will result in more claims closed. Now some folks don't trust the accuracy of the laser measurer and, in fact, some insurance carriers will not allow their adjusters to use them. From my experience they work exceptionally well but do check with your claims manager before parading your new Disto around the office. A rolling measure can also come in handy, especially for roofs where a traditional 25ft tape measure will seldom be sufficient to measure every length of the roof. Again, in some instances, the use of rolling measures is not allowed, so do check with your claims manager.

Must-Have #7: Tool-belt

In addition to your digital camera and various measuring devices, there are a few other items that are indispensable to a claims adjuster. This invites the logical question of "Where do I put all this stuff?". The answer is a tool-belt. Standard contractor toolbelts will do but pale in comparison to the variety that are custom built for claims adjusters. Custom adjuster tool-belts are specifically engineered to carry the necessary tools of an adjuster. Imagine climbing your ladder with both hands while securely carrying with you a digital camera, tape measure, wheel measure, clipboard, chalk, pitch gauge, and shingle gauge. Standard tool-belts may or may not be able to do this but certainly cannot do so as securely and intelligently as custom made belts. Stay organized and stay safe with a good adjuster tool-belt.

Must-Have #8: The Adjuster Dress-Code

Adjusters are almost always expected to observe a dress code. The particular code may vary from company to company but in general you should expect to wear a sharp polo and khakis. Jeans won't cut it and tee-shirts, unless distributed to you specifically for wear in the field, are too informal. You want a professional and competent appearance. Adjuster footwear is another consideration. As you will be spending time on roofs, think about obtaining shoes that have strong traction. Leave the penny loafers at home or you risk skating off a steeply pitched roof. Specially crafted boots called Cougar Paws, with felt-like material adhered to the bottoms, were developed with roof walking in mind. In any case, remember that an independent adjuster spends a good deal of time on his or her feet and comfort and traction are the name of the game.

Having the right gear is critical for an independent insurance adjuster because it allows them to not merely do their job but do it with maximum efficiency. And an efficient claims handler is an adjuster who will never go hungry.

Description

Our innovative Pruning Stik Tree Pruner makes it easy to cut high or low with a level of control traditional pruners with exterior ropes can’t match. You can cut high branches without the hassles and dangers of using a ladder, make low cuts without sore knees from kneeling or back strain from bending and easily reach into dense, prickly shrubs or tight spots. The rope-free design means you can use both hands to maximize your power and accuracy, and an easy-to-grip sliding handle makes the pruning action smooth and simple. An actuating ball at the end of the shaft lets you reach even farther and still prune with precision, and the cutting head rotates up to 230 to let you prune at tough angles. With our Pruning Stik Tree Pruner, there’s no cut that’s out of reach.

Features

  • An ideal trimming tool for high tree branches without a ladder
  • Unique sliding-grip cutting action
  • Cutting head rotates 270-degrees for best pruning angle
  • Cuts branches up to 1-1/4-inches in diameter
  • Lifetime warranty
