Good after noon
Hello every one
I am using SECO Prism Pole Peg Adjusting Jig for calibrating the prism poles
It’s good I am just wondering that how is this True Plumb for Fixed-Height GPS Rods
How that’s works if someone uses both and what is his experience if he shares
I really appreciate
Thanks in advance
I have had one for years.?ÿ They work great. Just watch out for the bottom bracket, hey can be an ankle killer. I do wish it had a better way to make minor adjustments to plumb line on the bottom bracket.
The one I have is in 2 sections so you can set it up to accept the 2m rover pole. I have lost count on the amount of times I have stubbed my ankle on that bottom portion.?ÿ

It should come with a miniature orange traffic cone.

@john-putnam Would need to add an adjusting component at the top and bottom of the jig to get there. 3 or 4 adjusting screws on and equal arc length of the location around the center point for fast adjustment.

No fancy jig needed, lean against hard surface (table, workbench, etc.). Works best with rod point on hard surface such as bare concrete floor, concrete block or solid brick. Adjust until bubble is centered with pole rotated in all quadrants.
Used to make my own, with two angle brackets fastened to a steel column.?ÿ Finally used one of these recently, and it is pretty nice.
Mine is the two piece model for longer poles. The biggest problem, other than ankle busting aspect, is the single bolt holding the fine adjustment plate on the bottom. It has a real bad tendency to twist out of position when you tighten it down. I suppose I could add some nylon washers to remedy the solution, but that would take the fun out of complaining about it.
As for the angle busting issue, I set rail car brake shoe holder from a derailment job I did years ago. Now at least I just smack that with my toe instead of cutting my ankle.
These jigs are a great way to complicate?ÿ a simple job.
Level up, spin 180. Adjust bubble half-way to center. Repeat. Should be perfect in very short order, with no risk to ankles...
For my fixed HT poles, I use the Seco Stedi-Rest. There are threads to mount it on a tripod. Follow procedure listed above ^^^^^^^

Certainly can be done without it. As I said, I made my own jigs in the past, or used my garage door opening with a point screwed into the top thread.
The thing that having a this jig does is it makes it pretty simple for field crews, who make money by being in the field not the office, to quickly, which means often, check their poles.
Without this jig, I'm the one who's always randomly grabbing a GPS or prism pole out a truck, checking, and getting annoyed that it's off.
It shouldn't have to be that way, but it is. Make it easy, and it'll get done. Make it less than easy, and who knows.
