Body Fat Caliper & Body Tape Measure 2pc - Fat Measure

Great piece of kit

For the price, I think this product does a great job, hence the 4* rating. I think it's fine to track progress and get a reasonable idea of where you are (rough ball park, though). The tape measure is great, no fault there. The calliper itself is a bit flimsy and fiddly to take measurements with, if you're doing it on your own. If you have someone helping out with reading the measurement it's much easier, but that's not always the case.

I've only used the calipers not the included tape measure so cannot comment on that. Simple piece of kit but the pressure gauge included is absolutely necessary meaning you use the same pressure everytime. I use it just on my abdonimals only. Whilst the measurement itself is meaningless it does show the general trend of fat loss brilliantly. I'm in a considerable calorie deficit and in the last 8 days of using this have dropped from 1.2mm on my abs, to 1mm, to 0.8mm, to 0.6mm. Each time I measure around 5 times for accuracy and it's the same everytime. It's been a more accurate way to track fat loss than my scales which seem to have halted lately. I bought these because I knew I could see myself getting physically leaner in the mirror so wanted another method to confirm that doesn't rely on the scales.

The measure tape is useful, but the Caliper is not. It does not have a slider to show the size, thus you have to look the number while you are holding it. This is OK if there is another person to measure, but it is very difficult if you measure by yourself.

Product arrived on time and works perfectly

I've found this completely unusable and inaccurate. Firstly each line seems to represent 2mm's instead of the one. As you can see in the image there are five lines instead of ten between numbers, so each denominator must be 2mm. This is an issue because it's written so small that if like me you are reasonably lean and usually come up in between you have to guestimate what the reading is. As a 2mm variance makes a huge difference when you are a lower body fat percentage. From other calipers I have used I can usually measure half way between lines, so say 11.5mm on an abdominal fold, with these it is such a tiny movement between 10mm and 12mm it's impossible to read accurately. As the writing is so small it essentially makes it difficult to take measurements yourself (using the Jackson-Pollock technique). I have also put a second image so you can see the size difference between a normal pair and these. Don't waste your money, I really don't understand how these had such good reviews. Perhaps it's people not used to using calipers etc. The tape measure seems okay but that wasn't why I made this purchase. I won't be sending it back as I'd like to keep the tape measure and it was only cheap anyway.

Good

Neat little kit but I did not find it to be amazingly accurate. The tape measure was not fit for purpose as the end of the tape measure was cut off by the plastic at the end by approx 54mm. Had to compare it to another tape measure and found the latter one more straight forward to use rather than doing the maths.

Fait le job, merci

Ho acquistato questo plicometro per utilizzarlo nelle mie lezioni, e si è rivelato un prodotto eccellente per scopi didattici. Il pacco è arrivato puntuale e in perfette condizioni. Il plicometro ha un design semplice e robusto, perfetto per spiegare agli studenti il funzionamento e l’importanza della valutazione della composizione corporea. Le misurazioni sono precise e ripetibili, una caratteristica fondamentale quando si insegnano metodologie scientifiche. Apprezzo molto che siano incluse istruzioni dettagliate e tabelle per interpretare i valori: sono state un grande aiuto durante le esercitazioni pratiche con gli studenti. Dispone anche di qr code per una valutazione più rapida. Inoltre, il materiale è resistente e sembra in grado di sopportare l’uso frequente tipico di un ambiente educativo. In generale, è un ottimo strumento per introdurre i concetti di antropometria a prezzo modico. Consiglio questo prodotto a educatori, formatori e chiunque cerchi un dispositivo affidabile per scopi didattici! 👩‍🏫📚

Es de plastico seencillo, pero cumple su funcion, La calculadora que trae no es mas que un link a una web, así que preferí pedirle a una IA que 'Actuando como un asistente en mediciones corporales me preguntara una a una y me diera los resultados de una medicion con adipometro usando el calculo de Jackson/Pollock (3, 4 o 7 pliegues)'. La cinta metrica va bien.

Fungerar bra.

Measuring tape is just not accurate at all.
