Surveying Tripod, Aluminum Survey Tripod with 5/8-Inch 11-Threaded Flat Head Quick Clamp for Auto Level

Very nice. Built well

Seems sturdy and I like that it has two different locking mechanisms

delivered on time with no damage very well packaged..have not used this piece of equipment but it is very well built

I purchased the elevator tripod and over time lost the head plate transferring across country between jobs. I contacted the company to get another one. Response was fast and the shipping was even better. Had this piece in my hands in a week from over seas. Tripod is built great and have alot of use out of it.

I like everything about this tripod with one exception - the chains that prevent the legs from spreading apart. The very first time I went to open the legs the crappy little chains broke instantly - extremely inappropriate quality for the purpose they're designed to serve. There is no way that these chains could possibly hold up to the rigors of the way people would use this day to day. Kinda funny that even the accompanying product photos show a couple different versions of the chain. If you buy this tripod - you'll likely have the exact same problem - but once solved everything else about this tripod if first rate - superb.If you buy this tripod replace the chains and you'll be quite satisfied with everything else.

After searching fruitlessly for an adequate tripod to handle my refractor, I began shopping for surveyors tripods. I liked this one from the moment I saw it and after reading the reviews I ordered it. I ordered a beefy ball mount the following day and the two paired together nicely. I like everything about it.

Not as good as I expected , but I will update if needed

It is light weight, easy to set up, and well constructed. Seems like good people to deal with. I bent one leg on mine the first day i used. It was entirely my fault. But they responded to my questions promptly.
