Does anyone have the full specification of the brass thread that connects the Reach to the Survey pole?
I have designed a monopole in Fusion 360 which I will share but need the dimensions (other than just 5/8) so I can complete it.
The interchangeable heads will allow other LoRa radio devices and allow you to attach your tablet to it without worrying that you need 6 hands. Estimated print (PETG) time is about 24hrs for all components so really cheap to print.
The exact dimensions of the brass connector please
I am designing a pole that doubles as a venturi gas extractor so the survey is spot on. I am designing all of the other parts like the bubble vial etc.
As it is modular, you can keep going higher, it will save a chunk of survey time and give the great Emlid equipment an accessory
It should never cost more than $50 for a survey pole, including the parts, even with the most expensive filament. Happy to collaborate mate
All you need is something like this or even smaller or even just a point/tip etc. There are some cheap fitting adapters also. All kinds of stuff.
Keep in mind that they have different Outer Diameters also…this “extension” is 1" OD. Typical I think is 1.25" OD for a handheld rover rod. The you have range poles, 1.125"± or so… those don’t rally matter though for a typical 5/8" 11 thread your doing though.
yes, survey equipment is highly overpriced due to the high price of Trimble, Leica, Topcon etc. But personally $150 is reasonanble for a good rover rod etc.
I will post up the designs so the community can download and print off their own for less than $50. If something breaks they can just reprint or even develop their own custom mods.
