Tripod Accessories

Laser levels, total stations, and theodolites, among other surveying instruments, need to be mounted on a tripod. With its mounting head and three legs, a tripod can provide instruments with stable support and improve their working ranges and accuracy. Without it, surveying instruments won’t be able to function optimally, which is why tripods are as vital to surveyors as surveying instruments. To boost the features of a tripod, it should also have compatible accessories, which are available here on Engineer Warehouse. Some of these tripod accessories are extension tubes that are specifically designed for various kinds of tripods, like an elevating tripod. An accessory like an extension tube can increase a tripod’s height and, in turn, can improve the working range of the mounted surveying instrument. Extension tubes usually have imprinted scales so that users can conveniently install them on tripods and easily adjust the tripods’ height. They are also designed to be durable so that they can withstand the weight of heavy surveying instruments.
