Overview

The SECO 5302-13-BLK Birch Wood/Fiberglass Quick-Clamp Hybrid Tripod is a heavy-duty instrument tripod designed to combine the stability of hardwood with the weather resistance of fiberglass.

Its hybrid legs use birch wood with fiberglass dowels to provide a solid mounting platform for surveying and construction instruments. A large aluminum head and reinforced leg hinges improve stability, while double-banded extension legs and oversized positive-locking quick clamps help keep the tripod securely positioned during fieldwork.

The tripod extends to 73 inches and includes a standard 5/8-11 threaded mounting post, making it compatible with a wide range of surveying and construction instruments.

Birch Wood and Fiberglass Hybrid Legs

The SECO 5302-13-BLK combines birch hardwood legs with fiberglass dowels.

The hardwood provides the stability and vibration-dampening performance commonly preferred for precision instrument setups, while the fiberglass components improve resistance to moisture and changing weather conditions.

This hybrid construction makes the tripod suitable for demanding survey and construction environments where both stability and durability are important.

Large Aluminum Head and Hinges

A large aluminum head provides a stable mounting platform for compatible instruments.

Heavy-duty aluminum leg hinges reinforce the connection between the head and the tripod legs, helping maintain rigidity and reduce unwanted movement during measurements.

Double-Banded Extension Legs

The extension legs feature double-band reinforcement for additional stability.

This construction helps support the telescoping leg sections and reduces flex when the tripod is fully extended or positioned on uneven ground.

Positive-Locking Quick Clamps

Large quick-release clamps allow the tripod legs to be extended and secured efficiently.

The positive-locking clamp design helps keep each leg at the selected length, providing a dependable setup for instruments used during surveying, leveling, and construction layout.

73-Inch Maximum Height

The tripod extends to a maximum height of:

• 73 in
• 1.85 m

The adjustable legs allow the instrument height to be configured for different operators, terrain conditions, and field applications.

Standard 5/8-11 Instrument Mount

The SECO 5302-13-BLK includes a standard 5/8-11 threaded mounting post.

This common surveying thread accommodates many compatible instruments and accessories, including:

• Total stations
• Theodolites
• Optical and automatic levels
• Rotary and construction lasers
• GNSS antennas and accessories
• Surveying adapters
• Other compatible instruments

Always confirm the instrument’s mounting requirements and tripod capacity before use.

Aluminum Shoes with Replaceable Steel Points

Each tripod leg includes an aluminum shoe with a hardened-steel point.

The steel points help provide secure placement on soil and other outdoor surfaces. Their replaceable design allows worn or damaged points to be serviced without replacing the complete tripod leg.

Powder-Coated Hardware

The tripod’s metal hardware is powder coated to provide resistance against wear, corrosion, and regular jobsite exposure.

The black hardware gives the tripod a clean, professional appearance while helping protect its metal components during repeated use.

Included Carrying Accessories

The tripod includes:

• A plastic protective head cap
• A heavy-duty poly-webbing shoulder strap

The head cap protects the mounting surface and threaded post during transportation and storage. The shoulder strap makes the tripod easier to carry between setup locations.

• Total station setups
• Robotic total station operation
• Optical and automatic leveling
• Construction laser mounting
• Boundary surveying
