When working with the laser scanner, two aspects must always be considered:
• Due to long recording times and high data-quality requirements, you must
adjust the tripod to be as stable as possible.
• Because a laser scanner moves during operation, the tripod must always
be as rigid as possible.
To achieve stability and rigidity, observe the following guidelines:
• Extend the tripod as little as possible. Less height means more accuracy.
• Extend the thicker segments of the legs before extending the thinner segments.
Always start with the
thickest leg segments and
pull them out completely
before you pull out the
next-largest segments.
