Product Information

Precision Mini Tribrach for Compact Surveying Applications

A professional-grade mini tribrach designed for surveyors, engineers, and technicians who need reliable instrument mounting in confined spaces. Available with 1/4" or 5/8" threading to accommodate prisms, cameras, sensors, and monitoring targets with laboratory-grade precision.

Compact Design for Restricted Access

The mini tribrach's reduced footprint excels in tunnel surveys, structural monitoring installations, and indoor measurement scenarios where standard tribrachs cannot fit. Its lightweight aluminum construction maintains stability while enabling easy transport and quick deployment in challenging environments.

Dual Threading System

Choose between 1/4" threading for lightweight accessories like prisms and cameras, or 5/8" threading for heavier instruments and monitoring equipment. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple mounting solutions while ensuring secure attachment across your entire instrument portfolio.

Key Advantages

• 15' round bubble level for rapid, accurate leveling in tight quarters
• Stainless steel leveling screws resist corrosion and maintain precision
• 3-point leveling system provides stable platform for critical measurements
• Dual threading options eliminate adapter requirements for most applications

Professional Reliability

Built to withstand demanding field conditions, this mini tribrach combines precision engineering with rugged durability. The anodized aluminum body resists environmental wear while maintaining the dimensional stability required for consistent, repeatable measurements across long-term monitoring projects.

Exceptional compact solution for tight spaces

This mini tribrach has become indispensable for our confined space surveys where standard equipment simply won't fit. The 15' bubble level provides excellent precision, and the 3-point leveling system allows for rapid setup even in challenging environments. Build quality from Metricop is outstanding as expected.

Solid performance with minor limitations

Great little tribrach that handles most of our prism mounting needs effectively. The leveling mechanism is smooth and reliable, though I would prefer slightly larger adjustment screws for field use with gloves. Overall excellent value for specialized applications where space is at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What is the difference between the 1/4" and 5/8" thread mounting options? ▾

The 1/4" thread is compatible with standard camera tripod mounts and smaller accessories, while the 5/8" thread follows surveying industry standards for mounting prisms, targets, and professional surveying instruments. Choose based on your specific mounting requirements and equipment compatibility.

✓ What is the accuracy of the 15' round bubble level? ▾

The 15' round bubble level provides high-precision leveling with excellent sensitivity for accurate instrument positioning. This specification ensures reliable leveling performance suitable for professional surveying applications requiring precise horizontal alignment.

✓ Can this mini tribrach support heavy surveying instruments? ▾

While designed as a compact solution, this mini tribrach is engineered for lightweight to medium-weight applications including prisms, monitoring targets, sensors, and cameras. For heavy total stations or theodolites, consider a full-size tribrach for optimal stability and load capacity.

✓ What makes this tribrach suitable for low-clearance environments? ▾

The compact design and reduced height profile allow for instrument setup in confined spaces where standard tribrachs cannot fit. This makes it ideal for indoor surveying, under-bridge measurements, basement surveys, and other applications with vertical space constraints while maintaining full leveling functionality.

✓ How does the 3-point leveling system work? ▾

The 3-point leveling system features three adjustable leveling screws positioned at 120-degree intervals around the base. This configuration provides stable, precise leveling by allowing fine adjustments to achieve perfect horizontal positioning. The system enables quick setup while maintaining exceptional stability once leveled.
