Digital Theodolite

A digital theodolite is a precision instrument that measures horizontal and vertical angles to determine the relative positions of points on the Earth’s surface. It’s a key tool in surveying and engineering, and is also used in meteorology and rocket launch technology.

Here are some things to know about digital theodolites:
  • How they work: Digital theodolites use a telescope that can move along two perpendicular axes, a spirit level, and graduated circles to measure angles. The plummet ensures the theodolite is positioned directly above the survey point, and the spirit level keeps the device level. 
  • Advantages: Digital theodolites are more accurate and convenient than traditional theodolites because they provide digital readouts. 
  • Accessories: Digital theodolites typically come with a rechargeable battery pack, charger, AA battery box, instrument manual, and plastic carrying case. 
  • Tips for use: To protect your theodolite, use a wooden tripod, use a sunshade attachment, and clean the instrument after use.
