We were excited to report some of the new products announced at Intergeo that included the Geomax Picpoint, and we're pleased to say it's now available to purchase. It was one of the products we were trained on in our recent trip to Rome and we're very excited about its capabilities. So what does it do? Essentially it's a method of measuring the points that wouldn't be directly measurable with a traditional GPS unit through three-point photogrammetry.  Here's what Geomax say: “PicPoint” combines GNSS measurements with images, taken from the PicPoint camera attached to the pole. The innovative X-PAD Field Software...

  Rotary lasers are simple animals; you want them to turn on, get level and give you an accurate beam when they spin around. Given that they’re so simple, what would make you choose the Zone range over the plethora of other options on the market? Topcon, Leica, PLS, Stabila and Hilti make their own, along with all the weird and wonderful imports from China. So why is the Geomax Zone range the right choice for you?   1. They’re rugged: construction sites can be unforgiving places for precise equipment, but the Zone range has been designed with this in mind....

We were in Rome recently for Geomax’s international dealer conference, and apart from eating our own body weight in pasta, we were there to get to grips with some of Geomax’s most innovative products. Our first morning was spent on the Zoom3D, an easy-to-use 3D measuring device that has the capacity to be upgraded into a micro-robotic version.    The great thing about the Zoom3D is that it’s really simple to use; it sets up with the press of a button and levels automatically, then there’s a very intuitive interface through X-Pad (which itself has just received an update). Added...

  The latest update for the hugely popular X-Pad software is out today. Following feedback from Geomax customers, it has kept the easy-to-use functionality that has made it loved amongst survey professionals but made some key improvements. Here’s an outline of what to expect:   Job manager – The job manager now has a great-looking carousel view, with each job having a photo or map associated with it. Jobs can also be sorted more easily, so never lose a job again!   Recovery and compacting – Jobs can take up a lot of space. X-Pad is now better at compacting...

   Last week in Rome we got a sneak peek of Geomax’s latest product release, the Zenith35 Pro GNSS receiver. It’s compact, rugged and most importantly, boasts 555 channel multi-constellation and multi-frequency capability to support all satellite systems now and in the future (it’s best to think ahead with these sort of things...)   The other great feature with the Zenith35 is its unique “Tilt and Go” functionality that allows you to quickly and accurately measure inaccessible points. Time spent levelling is a thing of the past as provided you don’t go past 30 degrees of tilt, you’ll remain accurate...
