Frequently Asked Questions

General
What surveying instruments are compatible with the GST20-9 tripod?
The GST20-9 features a 5/8" (16mm) connecting screw thread that is compatible with most surveying instruments including total stations, theodolites, levels, GNSS receivers, and laser scanners. The triangular flat head with a 145mm diameter and 63.50mm bore provides universal compatibility with Leica-style mounting systems.
What are the height specifications and adjustment range?
The tripod offers an adjustable height range from 108.5cm (42.7 inches) minimum to 179cm (70.5 inches) maximum, providing versatility for various surveying applications and operator heights. The telescopic legs feature secure wing-nut locking mechanisms for precise height adjustment and stability.
Why is wooden construction preferred for surveying tripods?
Wooden construction provides superior vibration damping properties compared to aluminum or carbon fiber alternatives, resulting in improved measurement accuracy. Wood is also less susceptible to thermal expansion and contraction, maintaining consistent dimensional stability across varying temperature conditions during field operations.
What is the maximum instrument weight capacity?
The heavy-duty wooden construction and reinforced metal point system provide exceptional load-bearing capacity suitable for professional surveying instruments up to 15kg (33 lbs). The triangular flat head design distributes weight evenly across the three-point support system, ensuring stability even with heavier robotic total stations.
How do I maintain the wooden tripod for optimal longevity?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning dirt and debris from the leg joints, checking wing-nut mechanisms for proper operation, and storing in a dry environment when not in use. Periodic inspection of the metal point condition and tightening of hardware components will ensure optimal performance and extend service life in demanding field conditions.
