Has anyone ever attempted to make a working rangefinder? I just came across this video of someone who is trying to develop a rangefinder for use on drones. Looks like it would fit in the Boba Fett Rangefinder with a bit of reconfiguration. Not sure if there would be issues with the laser but its still pretty interesting.

That was what i was worried about. I know they do tiny sonar range finders too.

I think what I'd most like to do is mount a small video camera and screen in it so i could make videos while trooping. I am not savvy in electronics unfortunately but I am sure you can get video screens on watches these days that would fit.

Hmmm... maybe cannibalizing an iPhone 6s camera, or a go pro silver would be nice. Who's up for the challenge?

This is almost like the rangefinder tech.

All I can think of watching this is how my Mom always had to tell me I was too close to the tv on Saturday mornings.

This product is very interesting as a display that is probably small enough to stick in the rangefinder

A guy is using one to make some DIY FPV goggles on this video:

I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate my Recon Jet glasses into my helmet or rangefinder. There's apps that work with BT, and many other things, so who knows.
