Had a 5601. Old CU face plate. It was non robotic. Heavy but did what we needed. Used to triangulate obstructions and some geodetic traverses. Dumb bo...

Thats not completely true. You can level the robot with instrument itself. You don’t need a data collection to fine level the S series robot. You can...

I don’t think either trimble or leica will give you any issues. For what you are doing. Really i would get a demo of both and or loaner and see which ...

Make sure you turn the measure up adapter out correctly and it will fall into place. The measure up of that S notch and your s series bottom notch wil...

I agree 100%. It is a good kit for sure. I just wish i had more than one set for 3 crews.

If you go between leica and Trimble give a bit more of the the type of work environment you work in. I like Trimble and the way I can improve work flo...

Rtk just get 3 - 5 mm out of your head for every day surveying. That is tighter than the manufacturer specs before you start. That for gps gnss is get...

Yeah rover and norm ok. All give great advice. A rule of thumb is not not process baselines that are shorter than about 800 ft NGS provides guidance o...

I like the way you think. In the big picture 5 minutes is nothing. It takes most people longer than that to set a total station up over the point not ...

I finally got to update ours today. Arghh what a head a he with one. Somehow he or another person that is a so called expert met him on a job Friday ...

Very True.

The cattle are friendly means only one thing. They will be all up in your grill. Worse than a cat scratching at your leg lol. My girls made pets out o...

I have been lucky up until recent years. Back when I was running an Instrument as an I man no hard hay nor safety glasses or gloves. But like you said...

Well we can test. Through redundancy and building in independent checks but for topo that goes out the window no one is going to shoot a bunch of grou...

Oh i hope i did not imply i was upset with the safety guy. He was nice the whole time. I was not in compliance but i had no idea what all was either. ...

I might have some under the front seat now that looks exactly like that. When I first started with this company like my 2nd week. I had to drive 70 mi...

Are you doing mostly like lot surveys or altas. Heck other than adjustments and qa/qc you could simply export the linework straight from access. If al...

If its when you return to site and just want them to know what they have already located or a different crew I simply export a dxf or even a dwg acces...

This ine went through leather gloves and into the thumb. I kept re wrapping it everyday for a week. I didn’t think it would ever seal up as well. Me ...
