Of course if we started making them this side of the pond, we would have to improve it by adding a string on an encoded reel, to eliminate the need for a tape.
Say what? The way to go if you are electronically surveying is to use a Disto or the like. That could be incorporated but it would increase the cost and size, but probably to good effect. The thing I wonder about is the stated (battery life?) of 6 hours continuous use. I've been on longer surveys, but of course that would not mean actively shooting angles every minute of the survey. I wonder whether simply having the thing on for 6 hours runs it down. Mark Minton
