Abstract
Supports for geomatic equipment, and in particular geomatic poles, can come in the form of bipods and tripods. The support system can be selectively configured as a bipod support and as a tripod support. No modification needs to be made to the geomatic pole, the system is independently capable of configuration. The position of legs of the supports is particularly selected to provide stability in both the bipod and tripod configurations.
Claims31
A support system for supporting a geomatic pole, the support system comprising first, second and third legs each having mounting structure for connection to the geomatic pole, the first and second legs being capable of connection to the geomatic pole independently of the third leg for two point support of the geomatic pole, and the third leg being capable of connection to the geomatic pole with the first and second legs for three point support of the geomatic pole.
A support system for supporting a geomatic pole, the support system comprising a head including a first head element and a second head element, first and second legs mounted on the first head element, the first head element being formed for releasable connection to the geomatic pole for two point support of the geomatic pole, a third leg mounted on the second head element, the second head element being formed for releasable connection separately from the connection of the first head element for use in conjunction with said first and second legs and first head element for three point support of the geomatic pole.
