Unless he plans on carrying around a regulation flag stick, those optical finders aren't any good. They measure based on a flag stick of known height.

Ancient Egyptians were sometimes confronted with this same problem. There were some small differences - it was usually (but not always, depending on if that f*ck moses was around or not) sandstorms, and not snowstorms; they wanted to be able to stay in their chariot, instead of their car - and it wasn't houses they needed to measure, it was pyramids.
Knowing this, they devised a simple, economical and efficient system for taking measurements.
