Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SECO 5219-03 uses carbon fiber components to reduce weight compared with SECO’s traditional aluminum Thumb-Release Bipod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts lighter construction makes the bipod easier to carry between survey points and helps reduce the overall equipment load for crews transporting a rover pole, receiver, controller, and other field accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo-Crush Bipod Head\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe No-Crush head is designed to protect compatible carbon fiber range poles and prism poles from excessive clamping pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts contoured design helps prevent the pole from being crushed, cracked, or permanently deformed, even when additional tightening force is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis feature is especially important when using lightweight carbon fiber poles that may be more susceptible to damage from conventional clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOpen-Clamp Pole Mounting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoles from 1 to 1.25 inches in outside diameter attach through the open side of the bipod clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open design allows compatible poles to be installed without removing a prism, GNSS receiver, antenna, or other accessory mounted at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard pole compatibility includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 in OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25 in

bipod head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these larger poles cannot pass through the open side of the clamp, equipment mounted above the clamp may need to be removed before
