More Information
Summary:A support capable of supporting geomatic equipment has hinged legs which allow the legs to pivot about a horizontal axis to selected positions. A hinge lock associated with each of the legs allows the leg to be locked in the selected angular position. Locking of the legs in this manner facilitates stability of the support. The locks are readily engaged and disengaged and can be used to hold the legs in a stowed position.
