Surveying instruments won’t function optimally if they are not mounted on stable platforms such as tripods. For surveyors, the best tripod that will improve the performance of their laser levels, theodolites, or total stations is the Dutch Hill T-Rex Surveyor’s Tripod with Unique Locking Mechanism T-rex.

The length of this tripod can be extended up to 72 inches, long enough for surveying instruments to reach high level points. When users only need a shorter support, it can be retracted to 43 inches in length. This feature makes this tripod a portable accessory that can fit into cases or other containers.

Because of its wide leg design and retention strap, using this 17.6-pound tripod will give the instruments added stability when surveying. For moving devices such as robots and scanners, the tripod also has a twist lock on the inner edges of its legs to provide these devices a steady platform. Additionally, it can be firmly anchored into the ground with its stainless steel points that can be replaced if need be.

With its clamp and handle that can be quickly released, users will have an easier time in setting up surveying instruments. Moreover, since the Dutch Hill T-Rex Surveyor’s Tripod with Unique Locking Mechanism T-rex is made of aluminum and fiberglass, it is durable enough to support loads weighing up to 60 pounds.
