If you know your height, you can estimate your leap using ratios

I made the following: I´m not interested in more and more height, but in a powerfull jump.
1) jump to a median heght: a degree or a 30 - 40 cms. or a gym stool
2) if is ease and safety, charge weight, and go....

This is very good for jerk.

Alternative: if you want measure maxim height, jump near a wall and mark with a chalk

Uncontrolled jumps may be source of knee injuries

It looks to me like you jumped around 40% of your height so maybe 2 feet 2 inches. Just an estimate.

Just stand by a yard stick and jump. Get it on video and use slow motion and pause. Then estimate.
