Leica TPS 1200+

This is the Robotic Total Station that we currently use, it's the best thing to use for stake out and topo work, on an open site, and speed-wise, two men running this one will put two men running a traditional Total Station to shame, as far as just sheer volume of work completed,..

However,..I'd really like to have this attachment here,.. that's next on my want list,..


what this piece does is ties you in to GPS - Global Positioning Systems,.. so that everything would be on real-world coordinates as soon as you shoot it,..

Topcon GTS-304

This is our more conventional Total Station, and it's great for Boundary Work, and Topo work, as well,.. the Robot has some issues when the site is not clear, and you have to shoot in to the woods or anything,.. the software program that is with this one is a bit more user friendly, as well,.. it's the stuff we all learned on, and we know it like the back of our hand,..
