Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What is the thread pitch specification for the 5/8" connection? ▾

The adapter features standard 5/8" x 11 TPI (threads per inch) threading, which is the industry standard for surveying equipment and ensures compatibility with most tripods, poles, and mounting accessories.

✓ Are these adapters compatible with all Swiss spigot systems? ▾

Yes, these adapters are designed to work with standard Swiss-style spigot connections commonly used in professional GNSS systems, prisms, and other surveying instruments. The precision machining ensures secure fitment across different manufacturers.

✓ What is the maximum load capacity of these aluminum adapters? ▾

The high-grade aluminum construction can safely support typical surveying equipment loads up to 15 kg (33 lbs). The lightweight design does not compromise structural integrity, making them suitable for heavy-duty GNSS receivers and multi-prism configurations.

✓ How does the aluminum construction perform in harsh field conditions? ▾

The aluminum alloy construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor environments. The adapters are designed to withstand temperature variations, moisture, and typical field handling while maintaining precise threading tolerances over extended use.

✓ Why is this sold as a 10-piece package? ▾

The 10-piece package provides excellent value for survey crews managing multiple setups or organizations maintaining equipment inventories. This bulk packaging ensures you have spare adapters for different job sites, equipment redundancy, and cost-effective procurement for professional operations.
