Description

The Leica GRZ4 360° Prism is a reflector suitable for all robotic TPS work performed with a survey pole.

Whilst the Leica GRZ4 has a typical 3D pointing accuracy of 5.0mm, a better one can be achieved by aiming on the yellow marker arrow. When manual pointing is used, the accuracy increases to 2.0mm.

The Leica GRZ4 has six joined corner cube prisms, allowing the measuring beam to reflect back to the source from all positions.
