For some applications, an extra-wide-base rangefinder would be more
convenient - such things don't have to be as bulky as this combination.

Except that I've never seen an ancillary rangefinder intermediate in size
between dire and fiddly little things made rather cheaply and with a very
dark image, and huge military rangefinders intended for aiming howitzers.
There ought to be something in this gap, surely?
