Description

Professional Series 1000

The Leica GMP004 L Bar Mini Prism is suitable for permanent monitoring applications where less range is acceptable. GMP004 Mini Prism is fixed in a metal housing, supplied with an L-bar for easy installation.

The prism assembly is made out of Grey Anodized Aluminium.

The GMP004 is less robust than the GMP104, so if a monitoring prism in more challenging environmental conditions (e.g. extreme temperatures or very wet environments) is needed, the GMP104 is recommended.
