Height for SNAP tablet Stand or Mount?

For best results, we recommend mounting or placing the SNAP tablet at about 39–40 inches (≈100 cm) from the floor.

Why this height?

This range closely matches the average adult waist height in the U.S., based on CDC population data. Positioning the tablet near waist level helps SNAP consistently frame the body’s midsection during scans.

This results in:

• Better subject alignment

• More consistent scans across users

• Less need for manual adjustments

(The precise number is 39.5 inches—we round to 40 inches for simplicity.)

Do I need to adjust for different heights?

In most cases, no. Our customers report that a single tablet height works well for the vast majority of clients.

If needed:

• Taller clients naturally step back

• Shorter clients step forward

• The SNAP app provides guidance during the scan

You may choose to fine-tune tablet height based on your typical client base or region, but the goal is simple: pick a middle height that comfortably works for about 90% of your clients.
