Sometimes i'd wish i had a in built camera on my TS so i can record some specific points for later reference or to provide to a client.

I have no such TS but is there a possibility to place a camera of some sort on the eyepiece so pics can be taken on site? Holding a phone in front of the eyepiece isn't really an option.

Check Google. There are phone adaptors to telescope eyepieces but TS eyepieces are too small and the phones are too heavy. I tried 2 different types that looked small but they would not attach my Leica TS15. They did help center the phone camera over the eyepiece but I had to hold the phone.

I use the “panorama” option very regularly on my Trimble equipment.   It takes rolled photos at whatever resolution and overlap you need/want.  You could have the individual tiles with no points overlaid on the photo, or in your TBC file look at the “station view” and your points will be overlaid on the mosaic of your photo tiles.  Very handy to have, even for when I’m drafting after I get to office with the data.
