Handy little tripod for indoor use

Post by landmeterbeuckx »

Hi,

I've made a handy tripod from an industrial stool with a plate and a 5/8" screw on it to do scanning indoors more efficient.

Definitely saves me some time. It's easier to walk around and place than a tripod. Still needs some tweaking though.

Cheers

I make sure that everything is stable. There are 5 support legs so no worries there. This would not work when there are people around though.

For traversing through a floor of an appertment it does the job!

How heavy is the scanner?
With the faro (5.5 kg) a photographic tripod is a great solution, even along stairways. I use a Manfrotto Triman 028B. Sometimes I consider a lighter and smaller one, but during a scan session the extra stability or elongation options are a great plus, at the expense of little extra weight.

between 12~15kg depending on what is put on.

The beauty of this is that i can take the handles of the scanner and move forward to a next position. No hassle to enter a small space like a toilet and no fear of touching the top of a door like when the scanner is on a tripod.

For the people who live there it is also more convenient.

Hi Lieven, maybe off topic, but looking at your Riegl used in indoor spaces i’m thinking: the 100 degree vertical field of view is a problem for indoor scanning? thanks Lieven

Hi Gabrio,

No problem. There are holes in the ceiling but if you want evey room complete (ceiling) just do a scan more a bit further away. For this project i don't need all the ceiling (no Bim) so i'm fine.

I used the tilt mount for other stuff though. wWorks good.
