Bipods

Surveying Bipods – Essential Support for GNSS Measurements

The surveying bipod is the most popular choice for professionals working with satellite systems. Unlike heavier tripods, the bipod prioritizes maximum mobility. Two adjustable legs, combined with the pole itself, create a stable frame that allows for precise measurements without the need to constantly hold the equipment by hand.

Why choose a bipod? The primary advantage is time efficiency. Thumb-release locks allow you to set up the pole in just a few seconds. This is crucial when staking out a large number of points or performing as-built surveys, where every minute counts.

Aluminum or Carbon Fiber? Our range includes models made from high-quality aluminum, perfect for daily heavy-duty use, as well as modern carbon fiber bipods. Carbon fiber not only reduces the weight of your gear but also offers superior stiffness and vibration dampening, resulting in better vertical stabilization. Choose the solution that fits your workflow and protect your expensive GPS receiver from accidental falls.

Maintenance: How to Make Your Bipod Last for Years

Proper maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of your bipod and ensures reliable operation.

• Post-Field Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the legs to remove dust, mud, or moisture, especially after working in harsh conditions.

• Mechanical Care: Regularly check and clean the moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.

• Locking Mechanisms: Periodically inspect the clamping or thumb-release mechanisms to ensure they remain tight and free of play.

• Storage: Storing your bipod in a dry place, preferably in a dedicated carrying bag, will prevent premature wear and tear.
