Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, says that the Leica GS05, a compact, lightweight GNSS Smart Antenna, features calibration-free tilt compensation and is designed for surveyors tackling challenging jobs and working long hours.
Weighing 750grammes including the battery, the GS05 reduces operator fatigue during extended surveys. Its robust design ensures durability and reliability in the field across a range of applications, from surveying and mapping to construction and utility stakeouts. The tilt compensation up to 30 degrees means surveyors can measure points accurately even when the survey pole is not perfectly vertical — enabling faster and more convenient data collection, particularly in challenging environments or hard-to-reach locations.
The tool is said to help tackle the increasing demand for geospatial services, allowing surveyors to work smarter according to Leica Geosystems. The device is said to be compact yet powerful, making surveying more efficient and less physically demanding.
The unit benefits from several innovations developed by Leica Geosystems, providing precision and versatility while boosting practicality and user comfort. The Leica GS05 integrates with the broader Leica Geosystems portfolio, including Leica Captivate field software. It also operates alongside Leica total stations as an efficient SmartPole. This integration with users’ existing Leica Geosystems’ equipment and workflows, maximises efficiency and avoids additional investment.
