The Trimble R780 GNSS System delivers accuracy, speed, and flexibility for maximum productivity. Its powerful Trimble ProPoint™ GNSS positioning engine computes positions based on any combination of GNSS constellations and signals. So, if you’re surveying among trees, near buildings, or in a mixed tree-and-urban environment the R780 can handle the job, even with tilt compensation enabled.
Survey faster with Trimble Inertial Platform™ technology for magnetically immune Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based tilt compensation, which helps surveyors to quickly and accurately layout and measure points without precisely leveling the survey rod. The system is immune to magnetic interferenc and also features real-time automatic IMU integrity monitoring to detect and alert the user of sensor biases introduced by time, temperature or physical shocks.
Instead of a pre-configured system, the Trimble R780 provides features and benefits in one flexible, scalable system. Choose the configuration – base & rover, rover only, or base only – and the features you need right now, and add further features as your requirements evolve.
