The Tri-Max® by Crain is without a doubt the best instrument
tripod on the
market today. It’s the only surveying-grade tripod with certified
accuracy –
highly recommended for all servo-driven and robotic total stations and
3-D laser
scanners.
This tripod easily meets the ISO 12858-2-H standard for the
stability of
instrument tripods. The revolutionary design of this tripod series and
Crain’s
commitment to quality mean this tripod will meet the ISO standard right
out of
the box, and after years of field use.
The Tri-Max features a 6-5/8 inch head with large center hole
(2-5/8 inch)
to facilitate an easy set-up over a point.
A retaining system—which prevents leg kick out and accidental
falls on
slick surfaces— is stored on the inside of the leg and can be left in
place when
the tripod is not in use.
The Tri-Max features an advanced foot design. The large ‘footbed’
is there
to facilitate solid planting for stability. The shape and size of the
foot are
designed to allow for a solid placement on any terrain. The foot is
equipped
with a replaceable point and a retention loop for use with a safety
strap.
This Tri-Max version features a screw clamp.
All Tri-Max
tripods feature locks that can be reversed to the inside of the leg if
desired.
The Tri-Max tripod will hold a maximum of 65 lb (30 kg) and
expands to 71
inches (180.34 cm) and contracts to 44 inches (111.76 cm).
Comes with Crain’s 5-year warranty.
