Tribrach & Adaptor Indian Made Surveying Accessory
Product Overview
The tribrach and adapter assembly from our “Galaies” line is a robust, precision-engineered accessory designed to securely mount survey instruments such as theodolites, total stations, GNSS receivers or laser scanners onto a tripod. Manufactured in India with high-quality materials and careful craftsmanship, this unit offers dependable stability, accurate alignment and ease of use for professional surveyors and civil-engineering teams.
What Is a Tribrach & Adapter?
- A tribrach is a specialized mounting plate between your survey instrument and the tripod. It allows the instrument to be leveled, centred over a ground marker, and then locked in place enabling repeatable, sub-millimetre accuracy each time you set up.
- The adapter adds compatibility and flexibility, bridging the mount of the instrument (total station, GNSS antenna, laser scanner, etc.) with the standard tripod/tribrach interface. This ensures universal or multi-brand usability.
Key Features & Benefits
- Stable, repeatable positioning The tribrach’s leveling screws and locking mechanism let you quickly fine-tune horizontal alignment and then securely lock your instrument, ensuring that every setup sits exactly over the control point.
- Optical plummet (or plummet option) Many tribrachs come with an optical plummet (or allow an adapter with a plummet), so you can precisely center the instrument over a survey marker or reference point, even without external GPS or manual measurement.
- Universal / wide compatibility When designed as a universal adapter + tribrach, the unit can often support instruments from different brands total stations, GNSS receivers or scanner units making it a versatile addition to mixed-brand equipment fleets.
- Durable & field-ready build High-quality metals (aluminum or similar), precision machining, firm locking threads and stable mounting mean the accessory withstands field conditions and repeated assembly/disassembly.
- Time & effort saving With a reliable tribrach and adapter, setting up a survey instrument becomes faster and more reliable: you can remove or remount instruments (e.g. switching between total station and GNSS) without re-levelling or losing alignment each time.
- Cost-effective & serviceable locally Since this is Indian-made, you benefit from easier access to spare parts, maintenance and support helpful if working in varied terrain or remote sites.
Typical Applications
- Land and topographic surveying (total station / GNSS setups)
- Construction and infrastructure layout building axes, alignment checks, structural staking
- Geodetic control point establishment and re-occupation
- Site monitoring and long-term check-outs where you may need to remove and re-install instruments repeatedly
- Multi-instrument workflows e.g. switching between GNSS, total station and laser scanner setups on the same tripod/point
