The most important criterion for a good tripod is its stability, quite explicitly, the torsional rigidity. With that, a very valuable, but not the only, argument for the original tripod from Leica Geosystems has been named. Other substantial benefits are the height stability under load and the minimal horizontal drift. Also not to be underestimated are advantages such as long life, optimal vibration dampening, water resistance, outstanding behavior in solar radiation and their weight in relation to load-bearing capacity.

Leica Geosystems tripods are manufactured solely from wood or aluminum. Wood, especially the beech and birch used by Leica Geosystems, offers the best stability values, measured on vertical movement and horizontal drift over time. Wood also exhibits optimal vibration characteristics and therefore delivers substantial benefits, especially in the use of motorized TPS. The surfaces of the wooden tripods are sealed several times to prevent moisture absorption and to maximum longevity. Aluminium tripods are robust and save weight, their range of application is however limited.

The Professional 1000 Series consists of heavy and light tripods for demanding application conditions.

• The GST101 heavy wooden tripod is made from birch and proves itself for precise backsights and control points.
• The GST103 aluminium tripod is particularly suitable for automatic levelling as well as for prism stations with reduced accuracy requirements.
