How useful is a clinometer?

The problem you have the know is it 38 deg or 39 deg which is too much and end up like this. I guess if your watching your meter when you go over, you will then know for the next time

I always thought they were cool so I glued a level to my dash and now I get to watch a bubble move around. I also have a little bobble-head dinosaur that shows me how we're doing.
It’s all I used to stare at in the log office when we were in rough seas on the ship. In a Jeep, pretty much worthless.
I use my butt, when it puckers, I know I have a problem.

Mounting a smart phone with the level function would do the same thing, at least for the side to side inclination which would be the most critical.

So you're saying it's incredibly useful in the right situation?
Who cares whether a clinometer is useful in a jeep?
They're fun to look at, and even more fun to watch passengers' reactions to them.

I like it when they ask at what point is too much.
I thought those were to let you know when your starbucks was gonna spill.
I gets it. Factory installed! Never looked at it!
Like most, pics don’t do it justice. It was pegged out I’m sure.

I had one in a K-5 Blazer when I was a kid, I thought it would be cool!
However in reality it never stopped moving around and eventually
shook its self apart on a real rough road, all the weights and dials fell out
on the floor. The best thing that ever happened to it.
