Base Plates

Having a stable setup for your equipment brings a number of benefits⁠—one of which is that it can prevent the equipment from falling and breaking due to faulty setups. Another thing is that stabilizing equipment, particularly surveying instruments, can help provide users with more accurate results. When setting up equipment, make sure that you have a complete set of accessories that are compatible with your surveying instrument. One of these accessories is a base plate, which is designed to provide surveying instruments with a stable platform. Here on Engineer Warehouse, there are different kinds of base plates that are compatible with leveling rods, tripods, laser levels, and other surveying instruments. To accurately measure elevations, stabilize a leveling rod first with a base plate before taking measurements. Attaching a base plate to the end of a leveling rod is especially important when working on muddy ground or uneven surfaces. Aside from this, there are also base plates that are specifically designed to securely mount laser levels or other instruments to tripods. These base plates are also designed to be quickly attached and removed to reduce the setup time.
