Shop Survey Tools

GPS survey equipment refers to devices that use satellite signals to determine precise locations for land surveying. These tools, like Robota's RoboDot RTK GNSS receivers, provide centimeter-level accuracy for mapping and positioning tasks in applications such as topographic surveys and GIS data collection.

Drone mapping requires a drone with a high-resolution camera, surveying tools like RTK GPS for precise geolocation, ground control points for calibration, and software like Agisoft Metashape Pro to process images into 3D models, orthophotos, or digital surface models.

RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) is not mandatory for drone mapping but is highly recommended for achieving centimeter-level accuracy. RTK GPS survey equipment, such as Robota’s RoboDot, enhances geolocation precision, reducing reliance on ground control points and improving mapping efficiency.

The RoboDot Touch, a multi-band RTK GNSS receiver from Robota, is among the most accurate GPS devices for surveying, offering centimeter-level precision for applications like land surveying, GIS, and accident reconstruction, even in challenging environments.

The best instrument for land surveying depends on the project, but RTK GNSS receivers like Robota’s RoboDot are highly effective due to their precision, affordability, and compatibility with photogrammetry and LIDAR workflows, making them ideal for modern surveying tools.

Land surveyors often use Agisoft Metashape Pro, a photogrammetry software that processes images from drones or cameras to create 3D models, orthophotos, and digital terrain models, supporting GIS, mapping, and topographic survey applications.

RTK GNSS receivers, such as Robota’s RoboDot, are among the most popular survey equipment due to their precision, affordability, and versatility for photogrammetry, LIDAR, and land surveying tasks across industries like construction and mapping.

Land surveyors use advanced technologies like RTK GNSS receivers, drones, 3D laser scanners, and photogrammetry software such as Agisoft Metashape Pro, which are essential topographic survey tools for accurate mapping and data collection.

A topographical survey requires GPS land survey equipment like RTK GNSS receivers, drones for aerial data capture, ground control points, and software like Agisoft Metashape Pro to process data into detailed 3D models and maps.

RTK surveying requires a base station, a rover (like Robota’s RoboDot), a high-accuracy antenna, a tribrach, a tripod, and accessories like a magnetic mount adapter to ensure precise positioning for surveying equipments.

To set up an RTK GPS base and rover system, place the base station on a known point using a tripod and tribrach, configure it to broadcast corrections, and connect the rover (e.g., RoboDot) to receive real-time corrections for centimeter-level accuracy in surveying tools.

A tribrach is used in surveying to level and stabilize instruments like GNSS receivers or total stations on a tripod, ensuring precise measurements for applications involving GPS survey equipment. Robota offers high-accuracy tribrachs for reliable setups.

Ground control points (GCPs) are marked locations with known coordinates used to georeference drone mapping data. They ensure accuracy in 3D models and orthophotos created with surveying tools like Agisoft Metashape Pro.

A ground control point stencil, like Robota’s, is used to mark consistent, visible GCPs on the ground for drone mapping, improving accuracy and repeatability when using GPS land survey equipment for georeferencing.

RTK GPS units require accessories like high-accuracy antennas (e.g., Robota’s L1 GPS antenna), tribrachs, tripods, magnetic mount adapters, and ground control point stencils to ensure precise operation with topographic survey tools.

A tripod converter is an adapter that connects surveying instruments to tripods with non-standard mounts, ensuring stability for RTK GPS receivers or other surveying equipments during data collection in the field.

A high accuracy tribrach ensures precise leveling of survey instruments on tripods, critical for maintaining the accuracy of measurements taken with GPS survey equipment like Robota’s RTK GNSS receivers.

The best antennas for GNSS receivers, such as Robota’s Durable Twist-on LumiGeo Antenna with SMA Connector, offer high gain (e.g., 25dB) and multipath rejection, ensuring reliable satellite signal capture for precise surveying tools.

Agisoft Metashape Pro is used for photogrammetric processing of images to create 3D models, orthopedics, and digital terrain models, supporting GIS, and land surveying applications with topographic survey tools.
