SECO 5218-15-ABK Mini Tripod with 12-Inch Legs

Overview

The SECO 5218-15-ABK Mini Tripod with 12-Inch Legs is a compact pole support designed for short survey poles measuring less than 24 inches long.

Its open-clamp design allows compatible poles from 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter to pass through the top of the tripod for quick installation and height positioning. Three fixed-length 12-inch legs provide a stable, low-profile setup for close-to-ground surveying, monitoring, layout, and antenna applications.

A stainless-steel clamp screw secures the pole, while rubber leg tips help improve grip and protect finished surfaces.

Designed for Short Poles

The SECO 5218-15-ABK is designed for use with poles measuring less than 24 inches long.

Its compact size provides a stable support platform without the height and bulk of a full-size survey tripod. This makes it useful for low-elevation measurements, monitoring setups, compact antenna installations, and other applications where equipment must remain close to the ground.

Open-Clamp Pole Mounting

Compatible poles pass directly through the open clamp at the top of the tripod.

The open design allows the pole to be installed without removing accessories from either end. Once positioned at the desired height, the stainless-steel clamp screw tightens against the pole to hold it securely.

Pole Compatibility

The tripod is designed for poles with diameters ranging from:

• 1 inch to 1.5 inches
• 25.4 mm to 38.1 mm

Always confirm the outside diameter and total length of the intended pole before ordering.

Fixed 12-Inch Legs

The mini tripod includes three fixed-length legs measuring 12 inches each.

The short legs create a wide, low-profile stance that helps stabilize compact pole setups. Because the legs are fixed rather than telescoping, setup is fast and does not require individual leg-height adjustments.

Stainless-Steel Clamp Screw

A stainless-steel clamp screw secures the pole within the open top clamp.

The stainless construction provides durability and corrosion resistance for repeated use in outdoor survey and construction environments.

Rubber Leg Tips

Rubber tips are installed on the ends of the tripod legs.

The tips help improve traction on smooth surfaces and reduce scratching when the tripod is placed on concrete, floors, pavement, or other finished surfaces.

Ideal Applications

• Short prism pole support
• Compact GNSS antenna setups
• Monitoring applications
• Construction layout
• Low-height survey measurements
• Indoor surveying
• Engineering fieldwork
• Utility and structural monitoring
• Close-to-ground equipment positioning
