@not-my-real-name I've worked for a good number of firms and didn't learn that about removing instrument while you stomp the legs in till the last on...

Taking a shot and then rotating pole 180°, taking a second shot and averaging the shots cancels out any bubble error or pole runout (banana in the pol...

@bm-nolan Heard back from Geomax, the Zenith60 Pro is using the Phantom 20 board. Looking at data sheets for the boards all I can see that is differe...

@bm-nolan I stand corrected about Carlson, not sure where I picked up that erroneous idea. Yes the Zenith60 uses the OEM719 board which is what I gu...

@bm-nolan Yes I found a number of your videos online when I was looking which were interesting. Some good work right there. What I couldn't find much...

QGIS is great at plugging some of the holes in survey software we use in this part of the world. Reprojecting data and getting LIDAR DEM into contour...

Have found the other major source of failure is winding the cables too tight to jam in some small space of GNSS box. Find nearly all of our RTK issues...

Unless someone has been through and opened them very recently I'd suggest one run to locate them, check not under pile of rubbish etc. and most import...

Second vote for multipath but never had RTK GNSS tell me it's fixed and been 1m different when I come back half hour+ later for second shot?? With ba...

The planners and engineers have complusory hours (assume lawyers, accountants, doctors....). Always thought surveying was an outlier in that regard. A...

I run Zenith40's personally and find they are just as precise as the Lecia GS18's I use for a firm I contract to. Obviously no tilt but I turn that of...

@caleb Have you checked with dealer if you have latest firmware on both receivers and are you using all constellations?

@john-putnam Second that plus takes care of my email hosting too

Another great practical video, I don't do this line of work but forwarded on to a colleague who would benefit. Couple of years back went to a worksh...

Can you pack a 5m pole, cable and 1m aerial? I find that makes a bigger difference to range than the watts you are pushing out. And looking for the hi...

I run a Geomax Zoom90 and I use all Lecia accessories. I much prefer the Lecia GMP101, lighter, cheaper and more accurate than a 360°. I've got two, o...

I've dreamed about Starlink as a solution. On rural jobs instead of lugging the base up the biggest hill to maximise radio range can leave it near the...

I never cease to be amazed at the ability of humans to come up with clever ways to solve problems. Cool looking bit of kit.
