the basic plastic manual bodyfat caliper is going to be $5-15, and should have a little tab looking thing that will make a little clicking sound when you've applied enough pressure. Its important to measure at the exact spot that meant. if its chest it has to be be exactly halfway between your nipple and armpit on the outside of your pec, abdominal exactly 1" to the right of your bellybutton, thigh halfway between your hip and knee. Not sure how it is with digital calipers, but from experience I've seen that even taking the measurements a little off, resulting in a few millimeters difference can add up, espescially if you are a little off with every measurement. Also probably applying to every caliper, get the fat layer pinched away from the muscle as much as possible. Also measure very slightly closer inwards to where your index and thumb meet. Hopefully this will be helpfull even though the technology is a little different...myself I don't mind consulting a table and doing the math.
