Frequently Asked Questions

General

✓ What prism sizes are compatible with the fixed mount on this tripod? ▾

The Model #010 features a fixed mount designed to accommodate standard 62mm survey prisms with 5/8" x 11 TPI threading. The mount provides secure attachment for both single and multi-prism configurations commonly used in total station operations.

✓ What is the maximum working height and setup range of this mini tripod? ▾

The mini tripod extends from approximately 3.5 feet to 5.5 feet in height, making it ideal for precise measurements in confined spaces or when working around obstacles. The compact design maintains stability across the full extension range while providing optimal prism positioning for total station targeting.

✓ How does the fixed prism mount enhance surveying accuracy compared to handheld operations? ▾

The fixed mount eliminates human movement variables and prism shake, providing sub-millimeter positioning stability. This hands-free targeting capability allows for extended observation periods and multiple angle measurements from the same point, significantly improving measurement precision and reducing operator fatigue during long survey sessions.

✓ What terrain conditions and environments is this tripod suitable for? ▾

The precision-engineered construction handles various field conditions including uneven terrain, concrete surfaces, and standard survey environments. The tripod's stability system performs reliably in moderate wind conditions and temperature variations typical of professional surveying applications, though extreme weather conditions should be assessed case-by-case.

✓ Is the tripod compatible with robotic total stations and automated tracking systems? ▾

Yes, the Model #010 is fully compatible with robotic total stations and automated tracking systems. The fixed mount design ensures consistent prism positioning for reliable target acquisition and tracking, making it an essential component for automated surveying workflows and one-person operation scenarios.
