Tripod

Look for a sturdy, well-constructed tripod that minimizes vibrations.

Aluminum tripods are lightweight and durable; wood tripods offer better stability but are heavier.

Ensure the tripod has adjustable legs to reach the required working height comfortably.

Check that the tripod’s head is compatible with your total station model for easy mounting.

Consider weight and compactness for ease of transport, especially for fieldwork.
