Description
Kit includes Vertex Laser Geo, Monopod Staff, 360 Adaptor & Transponder.
The Vertex Laser Geo has the same functionality as the Laser Geo but with the added feature of ultrasound measurement which is particularly useful in forestry mensuration where the target to be measured is obscured by undergrowth etc.
It is an excellent choice of instrument for measurements of trees and in the utility industry, general surveying etc. This laser/ultrasound device with inbuilt GPS& compass can measure distance, height & canopy of trees, border trees and safety distances. 3D powerline, 3D map area & 3D wood pile measurements(or other heaps) is also a simple operation with the Vertex Laser Geo.
The Vertex Laser Geo is an efficient instrument system in circular sample plot measuring and for reverse prism cruising. GPS and compass function incorporated in instrument with accuracy down to <1.5 degrees RSME (Root Square Mean Error)and heads-up display for real-time measurement update.
GPS and Mapping
The built in GPS-receiver and a 5-position numeric ID-attribute allow you to tag important data with coordinates with a simple key press. Your data is stored on a built in SSD drive and immediately available for further processing when connecting a standard USB 2.0 interface to any PC or Apple computer. No installation routines, converting software or special drivers are needed. Your field data can be opened straight in your favourite GIS- or spreadsheet application. Complex operations such as area measurement, 3D mapping of targets and Trail mapping have integrated functions that also are available to you without any external tools. The 3D Vector function allows you to measure horizontal targets such as canopy width.
Forestry
Choose the Vertex Laser Geo instrument system with incorporated ultrasound technology if your work mainly takes place in the forest. Ultrasound is superior compared to alternative methods, as it can be used in dense forests and where underbrush is thick. The Vertex Laser system works with an ultrasonic transponder. Use in circular sample plots to quickly and accurately determine if a tree is in or out of the plot!
Heights
3-point, 2-point or 1-point or direct measuring – choose preferred method to work within the easy-to-follow menu system. A non-magnification dot sight helps you to identify individual targets such as tree tops and power lines.
