Key Features
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
Manufactured from premium carbon fiber, the Seco 5129-50 is approximately 30% lighter than conventional rover rods, making it easier to transport and reducing fatigue during extended fieldwork.
Benefits include:
- Improved portability
- Reduced operator fatigue
- High structural rigidity
- Corrosion resistance
- Long service life
Telescoping Height Adjustment
The telescoping design provides a working height range from:
- 1.4 m (4.48 ft)
- Up to 2.5 m (8.14 ft)
This versatility allows surveyors to quickly adjust the rod height for varying terrain, project requirements, and satellite visibility.
Precision Pin-Locking System
The integrated locking pin securely locks the rod at common surveying heights:
These preset positions allow crews to achieve consistent antenna heights while reducing setup time and minimizing measurement errors.
TLV Locking Mechanism
The TLV locking mechanism provides smooth telescoping operation while securely holding the rod at the desired height for stable GNSS observations.
Its robust design ensures reliable performance even in demanding field environments.
Built-In 40-Minute Leveling Vial
An integrated 40-minute bubble vial allows operators to quickly verify that the rod remains plumb, helping improve measurement accuracy during RTK and GNSS data collection.
Dual Graduations
The inner pole features dual graduations (10ths and centimeters) for quick and accurate antenna height measurements, making the rod compatible with a wide range of surveying workflows and field software.
Zero Height (0 H.T.) Design
The Zero Height (0 H.T.) configuration simplifies antenna height calculations, reducing setup errors and improving workflow efficiency during GPS and GNSS surveys.
Common Applications
