? Contractor’s Take:
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill tripod. The Tri-Max is built for crews running robotic stations and dual-slope lasers all day, every day. Its stability keeps you from chasing “wandering zeroes” and saves re-work on high-dollar projects. If you’ve ever had a cheap tripod slip or swell, you’ll appreciate why most DOTs specify the Tri-Max in their bids.
