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.
The most common materials for surveying tripod legs are aluminum,
wood, and fiberglass.
Wood is the most traditional material for tripods and is also the
most stable, as wood is not highly affected by temperature changes.
Make sure to get a wooden tripod with a good protective coating.
Plastic coating is preferred, but both plastic and paint coatings
will work well. Wooden tripods are most ideal for extended setups,
and will have the least variance over the course of the set up.
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.
Fiberglass is one of the most popular choices of surveying tripods.
Fiberglass tripods are fiber reinforced material that has minimal
variance due to temperature changes. Fiberglass is resistant to the
elements and provides a very strong and long-lasting surveying
tripod.
