These Tripods are well regarded by the market for being extremely stable and long lasting. Being highly rigid and with good vibration characteristics, these tripods are recommended by Leica Geosystems to be used with TPS for surveying and engineering applications.

They offer a lighter weight alternative to the GST20 range. The wooden legs are covered by a heat-shrunk polymer. This protects the wood even in conditions of high humidity. Being extremely resistant to the environment, the GST05 tripods can remain set-up for long periods in all weather conditions. This is vital for GPS applications for which these tripods are recommended.
