What Are Geodetic Kits? A Guide for Professionals and Enthusiasts in Geodesy and Geomonitoring
Geodetic kits are pre-assembled sets of equipment designed for organizing geodetic surveys. These kits offer an affordable and efficient way to explore geodetic technologies, cartography, and geomonitoring. Whether you are involved in geodesy, drone mapping, or precision agriculture, these kits can help you perform high-accuracy surveys and collect valuable data in the field.
- Site configuration and mapping: Determine the exact layout of a site and create accurate maps.
- Structural monitoring: Record the sway of a tower during wind gusts or observe the oscillations of a bridge, providing valuable structural data.
- Sports orienteering mapping: Update orienteering maps with centimeter-level precision, including locations of control points.
- Field topographic surveys: Perform land surveys and add footpaths, benches, or other features to Open Street Map with high accuracy.
These kits are equipped with all the necessary components for field use:
-
- Antenna (choice depends on purpose): Select between a base or rover antenna.
- 5-meter antenna cable (for base use only): Essential for setting up the base station.
- Logger (refer to the "Logger" section for more details): Helps manage and store survey data.
- ZED-F9P receiver: Configured for either base or rover use, providing high-precision GNSS data.
- Bluetooth modules: Enabling wireless communication, with future plans for Wi-Fi module availability.
- 3 ENELOOP PRO AA rechargeable batteries: Provide long-lasting power and can be charged via USB.
- 2GB micro-SD card: For storing survey data.
- Adapter from ¼ inch to ⅝ inch thread: Ensures compatibility with different tripods.
- Screwdriver: For assembly and adjustments.
- 1.8-meter USB type C to USB A cable: Used for data transfer and charging (see "USB Type C - USB A Cables").
- Waterproof transport case: Keeps all components safe and dry during transport (see "Waterproof Transport Cases").
Geodetic Kit Options:
ELT0129 - Rover Kit
The ELT0129 is a rover kit that includes a range of antenna options to suit different applications, such as the ELT0121, ELT0014, and ELT0012 antennas. This kit is ideal for users who need high-precision mobile geodetic data collection.
ELT0130 - Base Kit
The ELT0130 is a base kit that uses the ELT0123 antenna with a 5-meter cable, providing a reliable foundation for geodetic surveys.
ELT0131 - Rover and Base Kit Bundle
The ELT0131 is a special bundle consisting of both the rover and base kits, offered at a lower price compared to purchasing the individual kits separately. This bundle is perfect for those looking to set up a complete geodetic survey system at a cost-effective price.
