VTF gauge

Trying to find a VTF gauge that had the measuring pad at the height of the album. Measuring VTF at the exact height of the album is critical. I have looked at numerous scales on line and none of them clearly states the height of the measuring pad. Can anyone recommend a scale that puts the measuring pad at the height of the album?

Thanks

Just to close the loop. I bought a Riverstone VTF gauge which has a side attachment that measures VTF at album height. It works great and cost $27

@roberjerman,

The Shure Stylus Force Guage, is a piece of crap!

I read now that @tooblue was able to reboot his initial response with no consequence.,

The Shure stylus force gauge is a plastic and metal teeter-totter.... that the carefully used is about as accurate as any digital gauge, only it costs a lot less and relies on gravity which I'm told is more reliable long term than batteries.

This is all you need
the height is just like a record (use that stylus platform for VTF).
on top of the gauge you can weight something else

remove the batteries if you don't use the gauge

Absolutely agree with the old reliable Shure.  My digital project is reliable as well but eats batteries all of the sudden.
