Nikon Nivo 3.C Prism / Reflectorless Total Station Nikon's next generation total station is the Nivo™ Total Station, available in two exciting lines: the Nivo C Series and Nivo M Series. Both of the Nivo series are the absolute leaders for go anywhere measurement tools. Compact in size and lightweight, they are convenient to carry over long distances. All Nivo models are supported with legendary Nikon high clarity optics, allowing clearer images in bright and low light conditions, making measurements easy and reducing eye stress. The fast, long range EDM measures in both prism and reflectorless modes. Measure precisely to objects up to 500 m away without the need for a prism*. Nivo models come standard with a traditional optical plummet which can be upgraded to a laser plummet. All models include a lumi guide for stakeout assistance. The Nivo C Series is designed with a feature-packed Windows® CE touch-screen interface. Field application software functions are supported by the world class Spectra Precision® Survey Pro™ field software for all your surveying and construction measurement needs. All Nivo C Series solutions are designed with high productivity in mind, including a dual face display for efficient high precision angle and distance measurements. Work all day long with endless power using hot swappable batteries, you'll never need to worry about interrupting your workflow to change a battery again. To assist you with the multitude of data needs of the 21st century, the Nivo C Series includes:
- Support for USB memory sticks
- Wireless cable-free Bluetooth connections to external data collectors
- USB High-speed data transfer port
Features:
- Survey Pro software onboard
