GOOD GRIEF!!!! ????

Head being shaken in disbelief.?ÿ What a doofus!
Someone just had to try it. Well I have just about seen it all now. ?????ÿ
So that's how target rods get bent!
Looks like someone took the old Kern concept and ran with it.
Those old Kerns were wonderful, self reducing tacheometers, lightweight tripods. Set up, level up, working in 20 seconds (if you were slow).
Maybe for a 7+ footer that would be a temporary solution to survey, till he order a custom made tripod?ÿ ?????ÿ
Off with his head

Actually not such a daft comment. I had to do something like that once with a spirit level, where there was a higher level platform just wide enough to stand on and walk round the hole in the middle. Tripod on concrete platform below with tribrach and extension rods to lift level up to suitable height for reading. I stood on the (loose) gratings at the higher level and carefully moved around the hole to get the readings needed.

Probably stolen and the person is trying to figure out what it is before it goes on E-Bay. ?????ÿ
Second picture: that other total station on the floor is looking up like "OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM?!?!? FRED? FRED? ARE YOU OK?!?! BLINK YOUR RED LASER TWICE IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!"
You'll have to stand on the box for that setup.
Something about the screen seems odd.
The fractured screen tells all.?ÿ
@chris-mills Kern? Lightweight tripods??ÿ
Why?, Just why?
Isn't it tragic enough that people take pictures of what they had for dinner and splash it all over the interweb; you don't need to also memorialize all the annoyingly stupid acts you commit.
The older generations would shut up and take the loss and be sure no one found out about it.
That set-up is so disturbing it's difficult to look at.?ÿ
Kern lightweight? - just relative to the Wild centre-rod version GST70, which has wooden legs. I still have 4 of the Wild version. Very useful for monitoring work where the critical value is the height - you can set a centre-rod EXACTLY to the same height each time in just a few seconds, a huge saving on any job where a number of set-ups are needed.
