You can continue measure the height of object by lock the distance and aim the cameras at the top of target object, as shows in the preview image. The only parameter required in this mode is the lens height, which is the height of your camera height to the base plane.

Hi Jon D,

We are sorry that this tool is just for estimation of the distance. It is highly depends on the device sensor, as we know the device's sensors reading always fluctuate in large scale when we using it for measuring, especially handhold the device. For example, if the real distance is 6.50m, in our testing we can get the result around 6.20m to 6.80m, which is inside the accuracy tolerance +/- 7.50% as stated in application's user guide.
If you wish to have an accurate distance measurement, please try "Manual distance", which let you measure distance from object length or measure object dimension from distance, this app has accuracy +/-2.5% .

Thank you.

Best Regards,
PotatotreeSoft
