Hi. Yes a tripod would be best but not always practical if you have to hike through the scrub by yourself. I think for long sessions - a tripod is best and overall results will be better. Shorter sessions may be better with a bipod and shorter prism pole i.e 1.3m or 1.6m verses the 2m pole. What type of gear are you using. Thanks for following.
I have a question, but I don't want you to waste your time on a detailed answer, but how do get millimetre accuracy if the continent is suppose to be moving northward at about 70 mm per year? Just a little curious. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
The continent is static so we and the marks all move together. With the movement, the position / values of the survey marks - the ones that are coordinated will change and so the values have been updated to reflect the change ahead of time. Complicated!
Are you a Surveyor, Surveying Student or someone thinking about Surveying? Or do you have question about Surveying? Leave me a comment!
How stable are those bipods for use as a base station? Or do you recommend a tripod instead?
