How to Calibrate your Stadiometer

- Rob from CelebHeights with the perfect method to check a Stadiometer for accuracy and ensure you're measuring your height correctly.
Most stadiometers should be precise, and any error usually occurs due to mismeasurement, bending the rod, not putting the platter section on your head and bending it too much.
However, there will be some height rods that do in fact have an error, so it's worth checking your own device, to ensure it's accurate and that you're not under or over measuring your stature.
Simply find an object of suitable length and with a tape measure record it's length. Then on flat surface with rod perpendicular, measure this object and figure out if the stadiometer is accurate or if there is an error.
In the case of this Seca 213, I found it to be within about 1mm accuracy.

You can do the same trick to check if your wall is perfectly straight. Take a book and measure it with a ruler on a table top, then put it against the wall and measure it with a tape measure. The measurements must be identical.
I measure against the wall in my kitchen with tape measure. It has a tiled floor and it seems pretty accurate. Floor is even except maybe off like a mm or less. I keep measuring around the 185 mark on my wall so just go with that or 184-185 range, or weak 6'1. I say I feel fairly tall walking around in Canada and glad to make it to 6'0+
@GregLurik Official I wonder why
This could mean it's not quite perpendicular...although if you have a spirit level and have confirmed it is, then it might come down to subtle posture changes.
Hey rob, remember when you told me that i miss measured my height as 5'5, well i happen to be quite shorter than that. I measured my height and i got 5'4.5, and in the morning i am 5'5.5, i measured my height like a hundred times and i am no close to 5'6. I measure my height with a steel tape and i personally think that the steel tape i have isn't accurate. I measured my sister's height with a steel tape and she got about 4'10 but the doctor measured her and she got 5'1. So i am just really wondering whats my real height?
Would you mind doing a video about Bill and Alexander Skarsgard? They are celebrities, but Bill is listed as only 2 centimeters shorter even though he appears to be at least 2 inches shorter in most pictures I seen of him and his brother.
That's an interesting trick!
Rob, I think a lot of people hold the headpiece of the stadiometer wrong. I think they push it too hard on one side because of which it gets tilted down a little and under measures them. Btw Rob, what does the stabilizer do?
Helps ensure the stadiometer doesn’t wobble or move too much when the back is against it and you can adjust it slightly to help get the rod looking vertical.
Can you do a video on Scott McTominay plz! Crazy growth spurt after 18
I'm max 197 cm or 6'5.5" in morning 196cm or 6'5" at night and I'm 24 so hope ur doing great Rob Paul keep up the great blogs have a great day!
How tall were you at 17 years ?
Or in cm 175cm
@@yoshio981 close to 5'8.75
Had also late growth spurt
Rob, how accurate do you think are those (don't know what exactly they're called) electrical height (and weight) calculator stands that are offered at local clinics or even at hospitals?
Some of the ones that are kind of ultrasonic should in theory be accurate, but it relies on the person standing still and the 'waves' hitting the high point of the person's head.
@@RobPaul if u measure with hand. what low and max will be different? of course if u will try to be honest
I actually did a little test of this and was fairly close, but it's only a rough idea, your fingers/hand has curves and you might get lucky and measure close, but I think it's easy to get half inch from your real height.
@@RobPaul was it low than ur height? or its always higher?
Rob I think I grew a little
Max Morning height is now 163.5 cm or 5'4" 3/8 inch.
And before bed height is 5'3" 1/2 inch or 161.5 cm
So the average is 162.5 cm or almost 5'4"
It will be more appropriate to claim 162 cm or 5'3" 3/4 inch instead of the average I mentioned
With your stats, a 162cm claim seems perfectly fine.
Hi Rob, if you see this. A question. Do you think a person with a longer torso will shrink more throughout the day than a person with a shorter torso and longer legs?
Yes, the odds seem greater.
For sure
Rob, generally speaking, is a stadiometer measurement error more likely to overmeasure or under measure your height?
I read a study once about hospital stadiometers and there seemed to be more chance of error with older and well-used (thousands of measurements) models.
From the plastic stadiometers I've seen, most are within a couple of mm of true accuracy, but there may be some out there with bigger errors.
Hey Rob, i have a question, which is more accurate in measuring your height?, a steel tape or a stadiometer?
Both can be very accurate, but the environment (wonky floor/surface) or human error can create mis-measurements.
@@RobPaulI have a question why do I get so many different heights on stadiometers.... Even a measuring tape gives me a taller height. What is going on with this stadiometers? Some say I am one inch taller and one inch lower or two inch shorter?? Depending on brand??
Does stretching really increase height
Rob, can lying down for over an hour or two lengthen your spine by half a centimeter?
Yes, even between 30-40 minutes can get you that!
Rob what should i claim if a measurement back to the wall is different from the one facing the wall? i think facing the wall i get a better measurement cause my posture doesnt change?
Assuming flat wall & floor, then it may well be the case that your posture is more optimal when facing the wall, so I'd go with that.
@@RobPaul thanks rob. Do you have some tips how to achive a better posture with back against the wall cause thas how everybody measures you? (and all walls are optimal)
If you have a big backside, then try to put your back/shoulders against the wall, you might actually be curving your spine and not standing as tall as you do when facing the wall.
So personally I wouldn't lean back against the wall but have your backside squashed a bit, and try remaining vertical. The thinner you are, the less this becomes an issue.
@@RobPaul thanks rob
The one u measure taller on is better.
Rob, i'm a lil confised, what height should i claim? So this is my current stats:
Back measurements (night, at doctor's appointment) with tape measure at wall not stadio: 174,2 (5'8 5/8 ish)
Front measurements (night) (at home, with aerosol can like marker, pretty flat) : 174,7-175 cm (5'8 7/8 ish)
What height should i really claim then? Is it 5'9 ish, or just strong 5'8?
I’d round to 5ft 9 👍
@@RobPaul the more i see myself, i think i'm simon pegg's height twin
Hi Rob - I have measured myself with a tape measure at 182cm. However I went and used one of laser stadiometers that they have in boots and it measured me 180cm. Which is most likely to be more accurate?
If you feel your self measurement was done with reasonable accuracy, the difference is so big that I’m thinking maybe the device didn’t do as good a job as yourself!
@@RobPaul aerosol can and flat chopping board below as you have previously done on your videos. Tried it on numerous locations in the house and all came out with 182cm give or take a few mill depending on the flooring. Never as low as 180 though! How accurate are the laser height measurements?
@@Kc11. We are LITERALLY in the same boat dude. It's also same when it's come to the height. I claim 5'11.5. My fridge is 182cm according to the factory values. And I'm taller than it. However, I claim 181.5 cm to feel more comfortable.
I am around 179.4cm out of bed and I am 178.7cm cm after 5hrs out of bed and before going to bed I am 178.3cm.If anyone asks me how tall I am I”ll say 179cm.I think there is nothing wrong about it cuz I have seen guys who are 5”9 and claim they are 6ft.What’s your opinion big Rob.
Yes I wouldn’t have any hesitation in claiming 179cm
@GregLurik Official I only lose about a cm ,1.5 cm was my max height lose. I am 18 and still growing a tiny bit I guess.
@@nihalshafiq2778 Can these height inholes things make our height shorter in the long run? Cause I've read on some articles that things like these that raises our heels uncomfortably can damage our calves and permanently compressed .what do you think? I'm scared really and I'm confused if I'm going to use this or not hehe
@@rentvanmcu7310 I think using insoles in long term causes damage to out feet like you said.So limit the use of insoles and only use small inserts
Imagine lying because you think its okay because others are lying. Be your own man
Hey Rob, my lowest height during the day is about 168cm about 13 hours after getting out of bed, and in the morning I wake up something like 169.8, is it fair claim 169cm? i'm 17 years old and I hope to reach at least 170cm at night,I would like to know if there is a possibility.
Yes it’s possible
Fair claim
How tall are you now
it's okay if ur under 6ft, try to accept your true height, back then about 3 years ago i don't know how to do a proper measurement i always guess my height i'm 189cm because i'm taller than almost everyone i passed by even in the crowded place such as mall, etc u name it. I live in SEA btw, Indonesia t be exact and then now i know how to measure my self and turns out i'm only a weak 6ft
183.5 cm morning height
181.7 night height
i was shocked that im not 6'2" but i try to accept my real height lol it's nothing wrong with being short or average height
To be fair it can be super hard to assess in a country where the average height for men is roughly 5'5 (if I'm correct). You're still a solidly tall guy globally. Even in Western countries you're above average 👍🏻
Rob the best, can the stadiometer also be purchased on Amazon?
Yeah, but worth checking on Google for any other companies in your country that sell it.
Hi Rob, how much height do you think Guido Maggi trainers give you realistically if they are advertised at 3.1”?
I would knock a cm off that figure to get a realistic actual gain.
Thanks Rob 😁
@@Kc11. I'd say as low as 2.2" to as high as 2.8" = somewhere around 2.5" - depends on the slope compared from the outsole heel to the toe area and if guidomaggi do midsole tech like dons footwear do.
Hey Rob, what measurements throughout the day would you consider a legit strong 6 footer?
Near 6ft 1 out of bed and by afternoon still a fraction over 6ft…by evening if under six foot I’m thinking by a whisker
@@RobPaul hi Rob , if someone wakes up at 6ft 1.25 (186.2cm) out of bed , what height should he claim ?
@@Ous_Sama 6 foot 1
legit and strong are two different things. Legit means never falling under 6'0 except at an extreme low. Strong usually means a quarter inch above 6'0 at a low, and never, under any circumstances, under 6'0.
@@Ous_Sama 6'1"½
Hey bro, can you try the puma rs fast, they are pretty cheap 👍
Rob, was big Iona the tallest in her class when she was age 9 because my sister is age 9 and she’s the tallest in her class my father height is 6’0” and her mom is 5’2” range do you think she’ll end up being tall like big Iona
Not really, her height was within average range
Hopefully Greg can finally do a proper measurement
What is the average height in cm in the UK?
On the Internet, there are variations in information, such as the average height in the UK being 175 cm or 180 cm.
I believe the 175 to 175.5 range from living in the country
@@RobPaul Is that the average height for men?
Yes, that's what it looks like from my own height range - generally there are a greater proportion of men taller than shorter than me.
Rob, how many hours after wake up to measure the height??
I think after being up a few hours is fine. If people like to measure out of bed, my only suggestion would be to mention it…like in my case “Almost 5ft 9 first thing”
Towards midday if u wanna find the average height between morning and night for ur “claim”. So around 6 hrs after waking
Hey rob, have you considered adding hasanabi to the site? He’s like the most popular streamer. How tall do you think he is?
Is it possible to grow grow half inch at age 21 maybe more beacause I notice my height increase half inch ii think my growth plates are still open
You could be one of the minority who did gain…I remember at University very few gained height after 19.
A pretty small percentage can still grow after 20. By that age most boys are finished and growth plates are closed
And also does measure on a studio meter make you taller than tape measure
It can vary, because standing against a wall can sometimes give you a lower (or higher) reading if there is a small slope/slant in either wall or floor.
Please Braun stroman real height video making
Love from india
Rob, what do you think about the height of K-pop idol "Taehyun" Is he really 177cm?
Unfortunately not looked at him.
Hi Rob I wake up 180.3 and go to sleep 178.2 do you think if I meet Colin Donnell who will be taller?
Good question
You’d be taller.
Chance of slight fraction more, but if photographed together, I don’t think anybody could spot a difference.
@@RobPaul So I can claim 5'10.5
@@u.s.d.k3218 Nope, Colin would be taller. He is a solid 179, OP is a weak one
just half a mm errro? thats pretty nice
I am 182 cm at night and about 6’1 in Nike react vision sneakers or 6’1 and a half , do you know what my height is ?
5ft 11 3/4 is your exact height, that’s mine too funnily enough
@@nigel5539 yea basically just 6ft like I always tell to people
A weak 6'0 maybe, if you get 6'0 lunch time/afternoon I think it's fine to claim that
Rob is taller than Greginator Lurik, so walk tall like Rob Paul!
Hey rob i am 20 years old and my height was increase 0.25inh every year since 2 years is there any chance for me to increase height i was 5" 11 right now and my parents were 5" 8.75and 5" 4
Take any further gains as a bonus, because the percentage who grow after turning 20 is small.
A pretty small percentage can grow after 20, so if u are still growing slightly then take it
@@Subiwu Bro I don't have any growth spurt in my life and my puberty also late that's why I think I am still growing
@@ledgershots5986 If u are still growing then nice
@@Subiwu By the way bro how tall are you
Last time I checked:
188.2 cm morning
187 cm after lunch
186.4 cm evening (never got that but I assume I'm shorter then the 186.7 cm I usually get at around 7.30 pm)
What should I claim?
I think directly 187 (6ft 1 5/8) is the true one for your height you re always how tall you re at lunch time, and I guess you d be listed as so on celeb height if you were a celebrity haha) anyway what are your eye levels throughout these times? (By keeping your head straight)
My eye level is 11 cm lower
@@alessandrolocoratolo4831 then you look taller than you actually are 11cm is pretty low for somebody over 6ft
Yes I know it's kind of unusual
I'm not sure, but it could be because my head is relatively small
You need to upgrade Joey Essex’s height. I’m around 5’9 and this guy was a giant compared to me. 100% over 6 foot
Probably in lifts
Hi rob Paul my height is 5.8 and i am 18 years old so i am still growing after age 18?
After 18 is the point at which the majority stop growing, but a minority are still gaining each year to early 20's...it's just the percentage drops noticeably at 19, 20 then 21.
Hi Rob
Why this small spacing of 2cm between the back base of the stadiometer and the wall? If, for example, you stick the back base to the wall and shorten the adjuster a little at the top, don't you achieve the same result?
I say this because I have the same stadiometer as you, and I stick the back base to the wall, because if I ever stumble on it inadvertently, I don't have to redo the calculation at the bottom to put it back 😉
On the other hand I calibrated, vertically I am about -0.3 ° (Rather correct) with my GLM80 but it adds 2mm instead of 1mm that you have. And at the 6ft6 level it adds 3mm. It's quite complicated to calibrate it to 0.0° exactly 😳
Thanks to you Rob for reading me. greetings from France 😊👍🏼
Yes, if you shorten the adjuster you could get the base close to the wall.
The Green wall in my videos isn't perfectly straight in certain points, so I do adjust mine slightly to ensure it's as vertical as possible.
Indeed it is annoying when the wall is not as straight as we would like. My wall too, it makes waves. Maybe I should invest in a real spirit level, like the one you had in the January 2018 video "Back to Front". 👍🏼
Salut comment tu fais pour te mesurer parfaitement ? C est vrai que sur certains mur j ai des variations de plusieurs mm. Et la toise aussi defois quand elle est trop avancé ou reculé j ai même parfois 1 cm d écart..
@@hlk7785 Salut 🙂 Je ne sais pas si je me mesure à 100% correctement, mais j’essaie de faire pareil que Rob. Le mieux c'est la nuit, 15 heures après s’être levé, et de préférence en étant resté debout pendant au moins 30 minutes avant la mesure (comme ça on est à notre mesure la plus basse et donc la plus modeste, celle qui ne bouge plus) 😉 Je me tiens le plus droit possible, sans inspirer ou gonfler le torse et bien sûr sans m'arracher les membres 😅 La toise, je la calibre avec un télémètre GLM80, et j’essaie le + possible que l'angle vertical soit à 90.0° (je me suis trompé quand j'ai dit 0.0, j'ai confondu avec l’horizontal) D’ailleurs l’horizontal n'est jamais droit chez moi. Il y'a 0.8° au lieu de 0.0°. Mais ça ne change pas grand chose.
Dans ton cas, si tu as un niveau à bulle (même sur IPhone) vérifie, ça peux aider à bien calibrer ta toise. Je précise mais tu dois le savoir, que le matin on est plus grand de 2cm. Moi à 35 ans j'ai un peu perdu en hauteur de "saut du lit", mais ma hauteur minimum n'a pas changé. Je fais 178.1 au saut du lit, et 175.6 au minimum. Il y a quelques années je faisais 178.8 au saut du lit, et toujours 175.6 la nuit.
Donc voilà si j'ai pu t'éclairer c'est avec plaisir. Après, je ne prétends pas détenir toutes les clés mais je fais comme cela 👍🏼😉
@@Fred-Le-Patriote salut merci pour les info. Pour ma part je mesure ma taille avec ces méthodes : la toise , et la boite sur le mur et je fais un trait au crayon à papier et mesure la distance.
Le matin je mesure 1,77m ou 176,5
En journée je suis 1,76 ou 175,5
Et mon plus bas c’est 1,75 tout pile
Ou vraiment le record que j ai relevé était 174.8 mais c’est pas toujours que je mesure si bas. Je pense que je devrais dire que je mesure 1m75 au gens ou 5’9 qu’en penses tu? Je n’es jamais utilisé de niveau je pense en acheté un. J’espère que la toise est bien régler… imagine si je suis plus petit que ca .. une phobie lol
What's under the stadiometer?
The flooring? Thin linoleum on plywood sheets.
@@RobPaul keeps it stable?
The little black bar at the top (stabiliser) helps keep it fairly solid, and like I put in the thumbnail to this video, you can move it slightly to make sure the rod is straight.
Not all walls are straight.
@@RobPaul thanks boss. You the best at this I always pay attention and learn
me who measuring with hand: Im looking tall!
measuring with hands are pretty accurate too, maybe it makes u taller by 0.5-1cm

Gsuave is a huge fan of Celebheights 👍
Pls guess NBA player Tacko Fall his height
My real height - 176 cm in night morning 177 cm in morning
my age - 16 year 11 months
My father is solid 6 ' 3 (191 cm)
my mother is short 5 ' 1 (155 cm)
I am late bloomer my main pubertal growth starts when I was over 15 years old ...
could i reach 6'0 (183 cm) at my 20's
what do you think guys what's my adult height
any guess let me know in reply section ??
I'd guess 5'11.5"/181.6cm,could end up any height but still definitely more to grow. I'd be surprised if under 5'10 - over 6'0.5
180 is likely based on ur pubertal growth and father’s height, 183+ 6ft) might be possible
