Northwest Instrument Tripods

For more than two decades, Northwest Instrument has been manufacturing tools that surveyors, engineers, and contractors can always rely on. All of Northwest Instrument’s products, including its tripods, can basically be summed up in two words: efficiency and quality.

Without a tripod, surveying instruments will not function as optimally as they are designed to. A substandard tripod, however, will do more harm than good. Mounting a surveying instrument on a low-quality tripod might lead to inaccurate results or even cause the instrument to fall and break. That’s why many professionals rely on top-quality tripods made by Northwest Instrument.

The heads of these tripods come in two styles: dome head and flat head. In spite of their different styles, these heads feature a universal thread size of 5/8" x 11. This means that they can secure most surveying instruments, including Northwest Instrument’s theodolites, total stations, laser levels, transits, and automatic levels.

A stable setup can make or break the accuracy of measurements. For this reason, Northwest Instrument’s tripods have every feature that can make for a secure and stable surveying setup. Each of these tripods come with either wing nut locks or quick clamps. These locking mechanisms can secure the legs of tripods at a preferred height. Apart from this, the tripods have pointed feet, which can be firmly anchored into the ground for stability.

Contractor’s Tripods

Northwest Instrument’s contractor’s tripods are made of aluminum, making them durable yet lightweight. The heights of these tripods can be conveniently adjusted from 38 to 62 inches. What makes these contractor’s tripods stand out is that they are relatively more affordable than other tripods, even though they are as durable and long-lasting.

Heavy-Duty Tripods

When the project calls for instruments that can withstand the harshest field conditions, Northwest Instrument’s heavy-duty tripods are your best bet. They’re made of aluminum or wood and fiberglass, all of which are sure to be durable. With their adjustable legs, these tripods can extend up to 64 inches and collapse to 38 inches. Some of them even have elevator columns that can extend up to 9 feet, perfect for any construction project.

Wood/Fiberglass Tripods

Changes in temperature won’t ever affect Northwest Instrument’s wood and fiberglass tripods. Combining the best of both worlds, these tripods can withstand any weather conditions and resist harsh elements.

Prism Pole Tripods

Apart from tripods that can mount laser levels and other instruments, Northwest Instrument has also made tripods that can secure prism poles. With their twist knobs, grips, and slide controls, users can easily mount and set up their prism poles in no time. Moreover, these prism pole tripods can extend up to 72 inches and collapse to 48 inches.
