Hard guessing with no geometric lines and defined points as reference. Point of view is critical. So is angle of lense used. Wide angles can make every jump look extreme. Background data is, as said, important to know for an accurate calculation. 5 meters can look like 25 and otherwise. Optic lies are common.

HELP woo users... How come each woo jump doesnt have a time stamp?! am I missing something?
Get your point,but nothing wide about this - its a telephoto fully zoomed in from a long way away.

Saturday we are promised 10m/s wind from south and red temperatures so it´s hope for a beach mounted gopro. Time for jumps are read in the left column in the app. I shall do a test and post it if we don´t have anything better in beforehand. (and if the forecast is ok.)
My best is 10.1 m and I believe it´real as we haven´t good kicking waves. But we do our best and everybody believes his or her best jump was the one missed by the woo.

From what I have read, the woo doesn't work well in large ocean chop or waves. Judging by those pics, that would be at play. By the way, with pics like that, who needs the woo? Several people have purchased them for the lakes we kite at and they seem to work well. Most important, kiters are having fun
If u get the woo as a device to accurately measure jump heights, then you'll be disappointed. Instead I see it as a toy, maybe a tool, that for now is condition dependent for accuracy. I haven't bought one, seems a lot to pay for such a small and relatively simple device. Then again, can't put a price on kiting, jumping, and sharing ur sesh with friends.

The last column gives the time in the session for each jump and it makes it possible to identify each jump on a video (if the spot isn´t to crowded) Here a screenshot of a bad wind session...
