Product Details
＋LEICA GST101 Wooden Heavy Duty Surveyors Tripod
Leica Geosystems offers a range of tripods to suit all instruments.
In order to achieve the instrument specified accuracy, it is vital that the correct tripod is used. The construction and weight of the tripod have a major influence on providing a stable platform for the instrument.
Wood
- Advantage: Of all materials, wood is the most stable and less susceptible to expansion when exposed to the warming effects of the sun. Wooden tripods also have excellent vibration damping characteristics.
- Disadvantage: Wood is porous and absorbs water which causes it to deform. It is therefore vital that the wood be completely sealed.
- Leica Geosystems tripods: The GST20 range of tripods are sealed with several layers of oil and paint and the GST05 is covered with a water-tight plastic wrap for complete protection.
