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

When measuring VTF is there a “proper” place on the platter to set the device?  I have a fairly cheap digital model and the meter reading usually changes by a few thousandths depending if I measure at the outside, middle, or inside of the platter?  I realize I need to get a better scale but assuming I do is there a location on the platter that is the proper place to weigh?  Is it normal for different areas to read differently or should it be consistent across the platter?  FYI, I am measuring a VPI Prime unipivot but with the second pivot installed. 
Should have said few “hundredths” not thousandths. Outside say 1.75, inside about 1.72?
