01 / FIELD CAPABILITIES

Built for the task.

  • Parallax-free optical sighting combines the target object and internal measurement scale in a single sharp visual field
  • Precision jewel and ball bearing suspension guarantees friction-free tilting and immediate settling under 2 seconds
  • Dual degree and percent gradient scales allow simultaneous reading of slope percentages and vertical degrees
  • Integrated 1/4" tripod mount provides rock-solid stability for geodetic gradient profiling and tree height measurement
  • Sealed non-magnetic aluminum alloy chassis resists dust, splashing water, and extreme field temperatures
