What’s Included in the Kit
The kit comes with a variety of equipment to get you up and running:
- Carbon fiber rover rod with a 4K Equipment branded bipod
- Fixed tripod, mainly for short-term one- or two-day jobs
- Trimble R750 base station
Trimble R780 rover
- Zephyr Geodetic Model 3 antenna
- Mag mount antenna and an extension for the tripod
- Cables for charging and data transfer
- 12-volt power cable to keep the base powered all day
- Two swappable batteries for the rover & a 4-bay charger
- T100 Windows-based tablet running Siteworks or SCS900
For long-term jobs, a permanent base post is often installed and concreted into the ground on site.
Base Station: Trimble R750
The R750 base station is the core of the setup. It connects to the Zephyr Geodetic Model 3 antenna using a cable. The base station transmits and receives survey data and can be powered all day using the included 12-volt power cable, which can connect to a car battery or other compatible power source.
Additional accessories include a serial cable for data transfer and a mag mount antenna that improves signal connectivity when paired with the tripod extension.
Rover: Trimble R780
The R780 rover is designed for flexibility and efficiency:
- Quick adapt system for easy setup and removal
- Built-in 900 MHz antenna for communication with the base
- Two swappable batteries to keep operations continuous
Charger capable of charging up to four batteries simultaneously
- Data cable for updates and other connection needs
The rover is visually similar to previous models, with gray caps being the main distinguishing feature.
Tablet: T100
The T100 tablet is a Windows-based device that runs Siteworks or SCS900 software. Key features include:
- 10-inch screen for easy data viewing
- Mountable to the rover rod with a square mount bracket
- USB-C charger included
- Allows users to run the base and rover, collect points, view data, and manage projects
Support and Guidance
Each kit includes a support catalog sticker with a QR code linking to:
- How-to videos
- User manuals
This helps answer common questions, especially for users who are new to base and rover systems.
