Hi. Many thanks. Its cool hey. There is probably some room for improvement with the mount as it needs to firmly wrapped around the handle of the total station but I've also bought a camera adapter with a 5/8" thread to sit on top of a prism pole. The top of the adapter has 5mm or equiv. screw which goes into the camera so I could mount say my 360 camera on top of the prism pole. A video for another time. Have to be creative as I'm the camera man also. No-one else to film me. Cheers.

@@tellintales-r2k thanks for the comment and support. Yes that’s what drives me to do my job and make videos for this channel. Thanks for watching.

@@tellintales-r2k thanks again for your support. Greatly appreciated!

@@angusgibson7746 spot on! Yes that’s the idea but you need to measure a level horizontal distance of the 5.5m so if there is slope or pile of dirt in the way you may need to plumb up the point or use a spirit level or something to compensate for that. But yes measuring 5.5m or the distance down along the direction of the line is the go. Sometimes we even have another peg square off the point so you have 2 points to measure from.

Thanks for the question. If the corner can be marked it must be marked. If it’s the off a cliff then we normally place a reference mark nearby on the top either on the line of the boundary or a bearing and distance to the corner. One way or another we leave a mark.

@@brendan454 to the millimeter is what you try to achieve always. Depends on the job. If you work to under 5mm you are doing well. We always try to be 100% correct. Then if an error is made by the contractor then at least we have started off correctly.

@@kizzjd9578 Hi. I’m normally undertaking a site survey first off to enable design of the building and that happens once a decision to build is made. Once the building is approved for construction then the builders engage us to mark out the house or structure so the earthwork guys can start so yes we never really cross paths with you guys. Once the slab is down we sometimes are back after the build Is complete to do final surveys.

@ awsome info, thanks!

Many thanks for watching!

That's great. I had thought about a CS35 but not sure what happens in the rain. I like the physical buttons on the CS20 for that. Yes I wish the CS20 was a faster boot.

Thanks for your kind words about the video quality and your SEO advice. I will take it on board! Growing my channel is something I definitely want do.

@globalsurveyor Thanks for your replay, I am an SEO expert, I work in SEO If you want I can help you, give me a chance and see the quality of my work

Thanks for your comment. I agree that I don't wish to encourage untrained people to look for survey marks. Whilst the ideas are widely shared I'd assume only Surveyors would be taking this up. However good if the general public can be made aware of survey marks. My biggest hurdle is how do we get bulk cover boxes and can some be made that are perhaps smaller that the traditional size to sit over GIP's. Maybe temporary plastic PVC pipe 100 diam or equiv. sitting over a GIP with a plastic lid. Maybe some metal survey tags could be placed on a kerb opposite the mark or on a fence. I think the idea is to save a mark in the best way possible at the time. Maybe an improvement can be made if required later on. Happy for any suggestions and Stay tuned!

Thanks. Yes a very useful tool for mapping and photography.

Yes I often think a stick would be better than my hand! Thanks for watching!

If you have the right qualifications I think 60K AUD is easily obtainable + more. Perhaps in the engineering field of surveying. Cadastral / boundary surveying is more specialised and requires years of training to understand the local rules. Once fully qualified and surveyor can make >100K.

@globalsurveyor thanks

Yes a very nice place to visit.

Yes I agree 100%. Although I feel its quite heavy to carry. What do you think?

Hello. Thanks for your question. If you have the right qualifications I think 80 - 100K AUD is easily obtainable + more. Perhaps in the engineering field of surveying. Cadastral / boundary surveying is more specialised and requires years of training to understand the local rules. Once fully qualified and surveyor can make >100K.

@@arnoldtsikwa3915 hi. I can discuss that on a new video. Thanks for the idea.

Yes 100% agree.

How far out from that metal corner would you go to try get a square shot? Ive used my clipboard before but was being lazy 😂

Hello. I'm not in a position to hire anyone as this point. But keep in touch. There may be other surveying firms in Australia looking for surveyors. Whats are your qualifications?

Hi. No. This total station sits on the shelf with my other collections. This total station came out in the mid 1990's so getting very old. If affordable, the Leica TS16 is the latest but next step down is TS15. Still just as good. If you want to capture data, yes the Emlid would do the trick but GPS is not really accurate enough to position building corners etc. Any other features, trees, services, natural surface - The Emlid would suffice. Depends on what you are needing to map? The GPS is a 1 person operation. If you were to buy a Total Station you'd want to make sure you get the robotic features + controller so you can work by yourself.

Thanks for watching!

Hi there. Just a side by side comparison and testing for future live streams. The TS16 is an amazing machine and using the robotic and tilt pole, I can survey quite quickly. Thanks for watching. Your comment will be added to my list of future video ideas. Cheers.

Hi.

Hello - yes many unique and some very old survey marks - ruclips.net/user/shorts51rH-zBIHaA

@@AlexanderGutierreZ-Surveyor yes total station Leica I'm currently working in Saudi Arabia Red sea project.

Merry Xmas to you also. Thanks for your support on my channel!

Hi Shayne. What type of marks do you have? Are you looking to give away or sell them?

I’d be interested in trading them if you have any to trade with some are DCA Department of Civil Aviation and not sure of the other one. I live in the Kimberly’s

Have you collected any in your travels?

@@shaynemckinlay6406 Hi. Not so much collected them. I have bought some metal State Survey Marks to use for future projects. They are small and for urban use. If you wanted one I could arrange something. I can send a photo. I might make a video about them and you can see or post a photo in my community tab. Have collected a few old survey pegs along the way as well. They sit on my shelf in the office. I normally only salvage a mark if its been completely removed from service. But don't have anything old to offer.

I’m just going to mount them on a length of wood and seal them with epoxy resin. 14 of them were lying in the grass at my work when I was clearing out our lay down area and saved them from being chucked out.

Thanks for being a loyal supporter of the channel! Merry Xmas to you!

Thanks for your comment. Yes I can't imagine the surveying experience without the technology we have today! Although when I started in the 1990's my old boss still used a Wild T1 with geodometer on top and we occasionally used a steel chain. I still use a 41cx. See my latest short. ruclips.net/user/shortsRfpPgO0bf9I

Thanks for watching!

That is a really interesting observation - thanks for sharing! Thanks for following the channel.

Spire height, 172.5 m (570 ft) -- I think its always been added to. Who knows when it will be finished.

Hi. You can send me a message through the channel if you have any questions.

Thanks! I'm just trying to show the awesome profession of surveying to the world. Beneficial for us all going forward!
