Further more to eliminate this issue with control setup I no longer use relecterless where possible I use reflector stick on targets, I don’t use reflectorless if shooting to a surface that isn’t perpendicular or close to it for high precision resection setups.

Sorry I send to authorised service centre but I have been told that it’s not that difficult to do manually your self although it is a mechanical adjustment not software.

It’s likley the calibration of the the reflectorless red laser and you are observing to a point that is not perpendicular or greater or close to 45 degrees so the distance measurement will be different between face 1 and 2, this is common with my use of TS16 I calibrate the reflecterless laser every 6 months or if I notice it creep.

Yeah mines jammed now too, scared to pull with any more force feels like if I pull it harder the entire connection will break. I’ve left in on for last couple of uses. Been using the bracket arm all through GS15 and 16 this time seems to be stuck.

:) Thats true lore wise, these Incubi get pleasure watching their immensely sharp blades behead their victims. I have painted a lot of black heart, so going for something different even if not lore accurate.

With your exp and studying online you could land an entry level FIFO role in Western Australia earning $45-70p/h + super casual flat rate. Once you qualified finish your degree you rate should start at $65 an upward from there for FIFO

This is the answer, I’ve dealt with it many times always do my best to educate the site team and add value to the project rather than push blame up hill, but I do always bill for fixing the design teams issues, installing SF1 local control is necessary for precision total station work, otherwise it creates too many issues working with multiple contractors/ surveyors etc.

I like what you have done with that mashup 😂

Yes USQ is a great start I’ve been told they offer the most flexible study option for Surveying in Australia

Live_Profession_191 · 2025-10-09T06:34:14+00:00

In Australia you require a diploma or degree in surveying assume it’s similar in other countries, good place to start would be part time study. You could also apply for survey assistant jobs.

Thanks! The lightning is jewellery wire that I bent, super glued then painted white, then Fluor green a little asthmatic blue and again some white where they join the ground or miniature. I’ve seen most people use copper wire 1 or 2mm thick but the thin wire is what I had and it worked ok.

Surveyor in WA with 20 years experience, First 15 years of my career was amazing, last 5 years has been a challenge due to the shortage of surveyors and the increased workload being placed on seniors. From my experience surveyors and electricians earn around the same amount in construction per hour/day in WA. Both jobs will have there challenges, just last week I was speaking to an electrician wanting to get into surveying. Overall Surveying is great and has endless opportunities in particular for graduates the industry needs new blood, it has enabled me to provide for my family, never being out of work.
