What makes a twist lock tripod so unique?
One possibly unique feature is that the leg locks have a secondary
locking system that prevents you from loosening the locks and
completely removing a leg section. Many photographers new to
twist-locks often have anxiety filled moments when they accidently
disassemble the tripod while trying to extend it!
How to Buy a Land Surveying Tripod? Wood, Fiberglass or Aluminum?
When purchasing a Construction or Surveying Grade Tripod there are
several different options to chose from, the material, the head,
the clamps, and these are just standard options. The type of
surveying tripod you need to buy will depend on the instrument it
will support and the work conditions or environment. With this
article, we have put together helpful information to assist in
deciding what the best options are to meet your needs.
Remember, the most important option on a land surveying grade
tripod is the thread size. This will determine if the tripod is
compatible with your instrument or not. Most surveying instruments
and tripods have a 5/8 X 11 thread which is standardized throughout
the land surveying equipment industry.
Aluminum Tripods
Aluminum tripods are usually inexpensive and lightweight, making it ideal
for light use when set-ups are often changed. Aluminum is not
affected by humidity. Being a metal, aluminum can slightly expand
and contract due to temperature changes. Aluminum tripods provide
the most ideal for setups that only last a short period of time,
say an hour or less. Aluminum tripods are more economical,
light-weight, and also long-lasting. They are ideal for leveling
applications.
The Tripod Head
The tripod head is just that, it's the top of the tripod and is a
surface for the surveying instrument to rest on and mount to. There
are two head options available, dome or flat. This is mainly just a
difference of preference. Both heads will do the same functions and
work well with most surveying instruments. Circular dome are ideal
for compensated instruments and lasers. A flat head surveying
tripod is without a question the most popular tripod on the market
today.
