Overview
A telescope that tilts on a vertical arc as well as turning on a horizontal circle lets this David White instrument read both levels and angles. An optical plummet centers it over a ground point, and locks with tangent screws hold fine adjustments.
Level work plus vertical angles in one rugged instrument is the reason to buy. The optical plummet speeds accurate setup over stakes. Magnification and tripod details are missing.
Who it's for
Contractors laying out foundations, plumbing columns or setting angles will use the transit functions. Crews that only shoot elevations can choose a simpler automatic level.
Pros and cons
- Reads horizontal and vertical angles
- Optical plummet for point setup
- Lock and tangent controls
- Rain hood and case included
- Magnification not listed
- Tripod not included
- Manual leveling, not self-leveling
Performance notes
Accuracy depends on careful leveling at setup, since this instrument does not compensate on its own. The tangent screws allow fine aiming once the locks are set. A stable tripod and shade from the rain hood keep readings consistent.
