Keep your data collector accessible, secure, and ready for fieldwork. This universal cradle bracket combines a quickrelease data collector mount, a prism rod clip, and a range pole clamp with an integrated compass to streamline surveying and fielddata tasks. Designed for broad compatibility and fast operation, it reduces setup time, protects equipment, and improves workflow on every jobsite. Why you need it Faster setup and teardown: the quickrelease cradle secures your data collector and lets you remove it in seconds so you can move between stations without fumbling with mounts. Stable, repeatable positioning: the clamp and prism rod clip hold devices steady on range poles, reducing measurement error caused by movement or slippage. Better orientation in the field: the builtin compass gives an immediate reference for heading when you need quick, visual alignment. Key features and attributes Universal compatibility: fits most handheld data collectors and GNSS controllers used with range poles and prism rods. Quickrelease cradle: fast, tool attachment and removal of the data collector to speed transitions between tasks. Prism rod clip: securely holds a prism rod or target while you work, keeping the pole balanced and the optics stable. Range pole clamp: solid clamping action secures the bracket to standard range pole diameters used in surveying and field mapping. Integrated compass: simple, visible heading reference to help with rough alignment and orientation when required. Rugged field design: engineered for regular outdoor use, resisting normal wear encountered on construction and survey sites. Adjustable positioning: allows you to position the cradle and prism clip for comfortable viewing and precise alignment during measurements. How it solves common problems Eliminates repeated mounting steps that slow field crews by providing a single, dependable mounting point with rapid release. Prevents slipping or rotation of the data collector on the pole, preserving accuracy and reducing rechecks. Keeps the data collector and prism aligned and ready so one person can work more efficiently without juggling equipment. Practical use cases Land surveying: mount your data collector and prism on a range pole for stakeout, topographic shots, or control point verification. The bracket keeps instruments stable during repeated measurements. Construction layout and site staking: quickly attach and remove your controller between layout points to speed stakeout tasks and reduce downtime. GIS and utilities mapping: use the clamp and prism clip to maintain consistent device orientation while walking transects, collecting asset locations, or recording features. What to expect in the field Rapid singleoperator attachment and release of the data collector. Secure holding of prism rods and targets for stable readings. Easy repositioning on most standard range poles for viewing angles and accessibility. A simple, durable accessory that integrates with existing field kits without changing workflow. Compatibility and fit Designed to work with most handheld data collectors, GNSS controllers, and standard prism rods used in surveying and field data collection. Clamps to commonly used range pole diameters; check pole dimensions against your equipment if you have unusually large or small poles. Simple maintenance Rinse off dirt and debris after heavy use and inspect moving parts for smooth operation. Regular checks of clamp tightness and quickrelease function keep the bracket performing reliably. Bring efficiency and stability to everyday fieldwork with a universal cradle bracket that combines quickrelease convenience, prism rod support, and an integrated compass for immediate orientation.
