Why can't we talk about straddling the tripod?
🙁
This is a family oriented website. Keep your peccadilloes to yourself....:-X
Yes we can
Yes we can talk about straddling the tripod. Perhaps even tips and tricks for successful staddling.
Straddling the Tripod
yeah, straddle the tripod, while doing multiple D&R's, just prior to setting an iron pin next to the one you set last year because now your 0.20' this traverse computes a different location than previous.... That's how it's done...(not around here though!)
Straddling the Tripod
The best way to avoid straddling the tripod is to get a robot,I haven't kicked or tripped over a leg in 13 years now.
Straddling the Tripod
There are no problems if you get a stump broke tripod.
Ever since the last Straddling the Tripod thread, I feel guilty every time I do it.
(But not guilty enough to stop doing it)
It's not really
an issue if you have a female tripod, but it's a little g@y when you have a male tripod.

Straddling the leg is a major faux pas, or breach of standard instrument operations.
Another breach of proper conduct (that I see even more ofter) is
Holding onto the tripod leg while making an observation.

So I guess you don't let the crew hand the DC on the leg in the bracket built for it and touch it to make the observations.
Hell, just relevel every 15 shots (or check the level anyway).
When doing control work I always drink three beers at the same time; that way I can set one on each center telescoping leg and maintain the integrity of the set-up.
My wife caught me straddling the tripod once. She said, "YOU PERVERT!!!"
No,...really. 🙂
occurs during and for work related purposes only.
Never before or after working hours.
My tripod goes on and on about that being what I tell all tripods.
Is this like placing a tripod leg on line...what is that term again??? 😉
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you...

My wife calls me Tripod. All of her friends call her Lucky.
