An update on the Sokkia GP3130R, they've found the English firmware and loaded the gyro program onto the Total station, the instrument has also been c...

Also found a Chinese Gyro/p>

Discovered this on Ebay, doesn't look like it's complete though: Also found some other Gyro manufacturers: And a history page about Sokkia...

The 500 may still be useful for static gps. We have 300's still in use for static obs.

Mike, you are a life saver! Cheers, Peter.

@jimcox Thanks Jim, I'll ask about it for the SX12, this job we had two static GPS stations, a level and two Topcon GLS scanners, would be good if Acc...

For cloud to cloud registration and bulk coverage, I typically go for 12mm @10m or 25mm @ 10m, with heaps of positions, just moving it a short distanc...

@olemanriver We had a job recently where we worked in geodetic coordinates, scanning a dragline house, the machine isn't level and the scans had to...

@johnymal I'm thinking about what sort of workflow you might use that would still have some productivity. I think you would probably set out a nu...

@olemanriver We have Geomagic Design X and Solidworks licenses, but good to know we might be able to bring SX12 measurements into the metrology world....

@olemanriver Thanks again, that's a great tip, just proves the value of sharing information on these forums. It's hard to find software that works wi...

@olemanriver Thanks for the tip, we haven't been using them that long yet. 😉 We had been using 62mm dia Sokkia prisms with the GLS, but were expe...

@johnymal You have one of the most accurate geodetic laser scanners on the market, but there isn't any geodetic laser scanning hardware that can ac...

@johnymal We use a reinforced Topcon prism holder with a stainless-steel tube set in Devcon putty for the smaller antennas. These are older GPS onl...

Yes, for export to SALSA, also there's nothing on the market to convert Topcon GLS scan target observations. We're also including the scanner target ...

SMR's are effectively our scan targets, so we have 20 of them, with all sorts of different mountings, from traverse kits, small magnet mounts, large m...
