Anybody utilizing this type of the prism working robotically?
I found a lot of controversial statements on Google. Starting from statements that it is not working for power search option to it is working great and it actually much more accurate but with reduced ATR range, which probably is true.
There is info even on Allen Precision website :
Due to its small size, this low-cost alternative provides the greatest pointing accuracy of 1.5mm. However, the GRZ101 has restricted functionality with the TPS Power Search, and a shorter ATR range than the standard size reflectors.

I can verify the above warning. I noticed power search would often just pass right by it. Might be useful for certain applications, but I wouldn't replace my full size 360 with it.
Thanks Will. I guess I do not need it because I work only robotically and really do not want to lose advantages of power search and ATK features.
I can also verify that power search goes right on by the mini prism but I have never noticed the reduced range while mapping. The funny thing is that when I first got it I swear Power Search would find it but that was many firmware versions ago.
