I guess i need to find out how strong they are, if they can hold a heavy camera/lens, and if there is much vibration. in that case i would definitely try to get someone to program one. 10-20 years I will worry about, in 10-20 years :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

I actually purchased the theodolite from a surplus store. It was originally equipped with a high power telescope with a cracked lens (thus I got it cheap). I use it as a base because it can be very precisely leveled, and has a fantastically smooth rotation around the vertical axis that can be rea
