Durability may be an important characteristic in tripods, but there are times when stability needs to be the priority. This is where the Heavy-Duty Wood/Fiberglass Flat-Head Tripod with Wing Nut Lock comes in. While aluminum is stronger than wood and fiberglass, the latter two can offer surveyors and other professionals more stability in certain situations.

Surveying jobs more often than not take place outdoors. Because of this, various types of surveying equipment need to be able to withstand and adapt to various environmental conditions, specifically changes in temperature. Metals like aluminum react to changes in temperature, while wood and fiberglass do not. Thus, a wood and fiberglass tripod can help keep measurements highly accurate in spite of changes in temperature.

Additionally, this tripod has steel pointed feet that allow stability in almost any kind of terrain. As a bonus, these steel feet are also easy to change in a short time. Because of this, changing the feet won’t take too much time or manpower, thus helping keep the job on schedule. Meanwhile, the tripod’s flat head was designed to accommodate various optical instruments.

Northwest Instrument is one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality and reliable surveying equipment. The Heavy-Duty Wood/Fiberglass Flat-Head Tripod with Wing Nut Lock is available for purchase here on Engineer Warehouse.
