SECO 5119-00 Graduated Collapsible GPS Antenna Tripod

Overview

The SECO 5119-00 Graduated Collapsible GPS Antenna Tripod provides a stable, adjustable setup for GPS antennas, GNSS receivers, and compatible machine-control equipment.

Its collapsible center staff adjusts to three fixed working heights—1.5, 1.8, and 2 meters—and includes dual graduations for convenient height verification. A twist-locking mechanism secures the center staff, while its 360-degree rotation allows the integrated 8-minute vial to be calibrated.

Quick-release and twist-locking mechanisms on the extendable legs make the tripod easy to set up, adjust, and collapse. Additional features include a removable 5/8-11 adapter, onboard compass, replaceable leg points, and durable powder-coated components.

The SECO 5119-00 is available in Flo Yellow, Flo Orange, and Standard Yellow.

Three Fixed Working Heights

The SECO 5119-00 adjusts to three specified antenna heights:

• 1.5 m
• 1.8 m
• 2 m

These fixed height options allow crews to select a consistent setup based on the equipment, survey procedure, or machine-control application being performed.

The selected antenna height should always be verified and entered correctly into the GNSS receiver, data collector, or field software before measurements are collected.

Dual Graduations

The center staff includes dual graduations for conveniently checking the configured antenna height.

Visible graduations help operators confirm the tripod setup before beginning observations, reducing the need to measure the center staff separately during routine fieldwork.

Collapsible Center Staff

The center staff collapses for easier transportation and storage while extending to support the three available working heights.

A twist-locking mechanism secures the staff after the required position has been selected. The center staff can also rotate through a full 360 degrees, allowing the built-in vial to be calibrated without disassembling the tripod.

Integrated 8-Minute Vial

An 8-minute vial is built into the tripod for accurate leveling of the center staff.

The vial provides a clear visual reference for positioning the antenna vertically. Because the center staff rotates 360 degrees, the vial can be checked and calibrated as part of routine equipment maintenance.

Keeping the antenna centered and level is especially important during static GNSS observations, control work, and other precision positioning applications.

Quick-Release and Twist-Locking Legs

The tripod legs combine quick-release adjustment with twist-locking mechanisms.

This design allows the operator to extend and position the legs efficiently while securely locking each leg after the tripod has been leveled.

Independent leg adjustment also helps accommodate:

• Sloped terrain
• Uneven ground
• Gravel and soil
• Pavement
• Construction sites
• Machine-control setup locations

Collapsible Field Design

The SECO 5119-00 collapses to:

• 50 in
• 127 cm

The collapsible design makes the tripod easier to transport in a survey vehicle and store with other GNSS or machine-control equipment.

Removable 5/8-11 Adapter

A removable 5/8-11 adapter is included for mounting compatible GPS antennas, GNSS receivers, and related accessories.

The standard surveying thread provides broad compatibility, while the removable design allows the tripod to be adapted for different equipment configurations when necessary.

Always verify the mounting thread and completed antenna-height configuration before use.

Onboard Compass

An integrated compass provides a convenient orientation reference during tripod setup.

The onboard compass can assist with approximate alignment when establishing GNSS antenna positions, orienting equipment, or setting up machine-control components in the field.

Replaceable Tripod Points

The extendable tripod legs include replaceable points for secure placement on compatible ground surfaces.

Replaceable points allow worn or damaged ground-contact components to be serviced without replacing the complete tripod leg.

The tripod should always be firmly planted and checked for stability before equipment is installed.

Durable Powder-Coated Construction

The extendable legs and center pole are electrostatically powder painted for long-term field durability.

The coating helps protect the tripod components from regular wear and exposure associated with surveying, construction, and machine-control environments.

Black Anodized Hardware

The aluminum hardware features a black anodized finish.

Anodizing improves surface durability and corrosion resistance while providing a clean, professional appearance across the tripod’s adjustment and connection components.
