But now that I actively look at it again, "keychain" sized is a bit of a stretch. Although I do use it on my keychain, so maybe ive just gotten accustomed to it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] neatobuilds@lemmy.today 11 points 1 year ago (1 child) Mine is like three times that size so I would call it Keychain sized too haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago I eventually did invest in a bigger boy to carry in my filming kit that can store two measurements at once.

Exactly why I bought it. I originally had a screw mount attached to the back of it, which could attach it to the side of my camera cage lined up with the sensor. Basically a laser scope for my mirrorless Lumix. And this was a few years ago. It still uses the old micro-usb even.
