Frequently Asked Questions

General
What instruments are compatible with the GDF121M Tribrach?
The GDF121M is specifically designed for compatibility with Leica TPS series instruments and other surveying equipment utilizing the standard 5/8x11 threading system. This makes it suitable for most professional total stations and theodolites from various manufacturers.
How do I level the tribrach without an optical plummet?
The GDF121M features an 8-minute circular bubble vial for precise leveling. Use the three leveling screws to center the bubble in the circular vial. For horizontal positioning over survey points, rely on your instrument's built-in laser plummet or use external centering methods such as a plumb bob or separate optical plummet.
What are the weight specifications and construction materials?
The GDF121M is engineered as a lightweight yet robust mounting solution, constructed from high-grade aluminum alloy for optimal durability while minimizing field transport weight. The precise weight specifications and detailed material composition are available in the technical documentation provided with the unit.
Can this tribrach be used with different tripod systems?
Yes, the GDF121M features the industry-standard 5/8x11 thread pattern, making it compatible with most professional surveying tripods including wood, aluminum, and carbon fiber models from major manufacturers. This universal threading ensures versatile field deployment across different equipment configurations.
What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the tribrach body and leveling screws with appropriate solvents to remove dirt and debris. Periodically inspect the circular vial for proper bubble movement and accuracy. Store in protective carrying case when not in use and avoid impact damage to maintain the precision of the leveling mechanism.
