Leica GS18 I GNSS RTK Rover, versatile survey-grade GNSS RTK rover with Visual Positioning, measure points which previously could not be measured with a GNSS rover easily and accurately
Leica GS18 I GNSS RTK Rover with Visual Positioning, a versatile, survey-grade GNSS RTK rover with Visual Positioning. Designed for surveying professionals to measure points which previously could not be measured with a GNSS rover easily and accurately. Now, you can quickly capture the site in images and measure points from them, either in the field or later in the office. For GS18, I means imaging.
Package includes:
Leica GS18 T GNSS RTK Rover
Sensor fusion of GNSS, IMU and a camera come together to create Visual Positioning technology, resulting in a GNSS RTK rover so powerful that it enables you to measure what you see. GS18 I has all the functionality of the Leica GS18 T: in addition to Visual Positioning, users can for example map points with either tilted or levelled pole. If you looking for excellent pre-owned Leica GS18 T GNSS RTK Rover, than we currently have for sale used Leica GS18 T GNSS RTK Rover with Leica CS20 Controller, Leica Captivate, Measure & Stakeout & Stake Line. Like new condition and ready to go out of the box
Innovative
GS18 I is an accurate and easy to use GNSS RTK Rover. It utilises highly innovative Visual Positioning technology based on seamless integration of GNSS, IMU and a camera. It enables you to measure points in survey-grade accuracy from images either in the field or in the office. Alternatively, create point clouds from captured images using Leica Infinity to expand possibilities even further.
Fast
Designed to measure a large number of points efficiently. The GS18 I allows you to capture images and measure hundreds of points within minutes with no need to physically reach the point. Time spent on-site is reduced and revisits minimised - once the site is captured, you can measure all detail whenever you want to.
Versatile
Imaging power has changed the rules of the game. By having the power to measure what you see, you can now reach places you couldn’t before without the need to switch tools or climb through obstacles. This gives you flexibility in the field, frees up equipment and crews, truly maximises productivity, and increasing profits.
