RTK GNSS Survey Equipment with Network RTK Rover, Handheld Controller and Survey Software, GNSS RTK GPS with 60° Tilt and Built-in IMU, for Construction and Geodetic or Land Survey Layout Planning

This is a very affordable rover headpiece that comes with a SC200 handheld controller (basically a cell phone). It works well in open areas with some tree cover, and can work in more wooded areas with some persistence. You will need to buy a SIM chip for the phone communication to your local corrections tower, and you really need to the 1.8m pole that is sold separately. The pole is very nice and worth the money they want for it. There were two aspects to the location configuration that I had to work out, the GNSS was fairly straight forward, but there is also an elevation module I needed to download for the vertical corrections. The end result was quite accurate. I was very happy with the sales and tech support, although there was some delay with them being located in China. Similar US or Euro made devices cost 5-10x more than this set up does. Had I purchased a $1500 per year local GNSS subscription from a 3rd party I'm sure my connection would have been stronger. The State's free GNSS was adequate but much farther away - over 5 miles when the 3rd party tower was less than 1km. Overall a very impressive system. I do wish the software had a detailed English manual written for it, it has a lot of customizable features that I wanted to understand better. Their tutorial videos are adequate to get started, and if I had any knowledge of modern surveying it would have been easier, but that's my fault. I really like the export to CAD option for the files.

Unbelievable accuracy for a stub on a stick. This company knows its stuff and is very helpful. Great comms.

This little Safari RTK GNSS Rover is AWESOME! I really cannot express how functional it is to use this unit. It is small but very accurate and paired with a Carbon Fiber collapsible rod it is very light weight! The Safari and the data collector boot up fast and you get a fix quickly with a good corrections service. I really like just how compact it is and that I can use it on the fly when doing grade work. The company has very good customer support and even hooked me up with the software and license to run it on a 10" Android Tablet that I installed on my Dozer. The Safari Rover easily mounted on my dozer blade with a magnetic rod mount! The battery life is extremely good and will easily hold a charge all day. Highly recommend!

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this product. If you don't need a base and all you need is a rover, this is the way to go. It worked well with NTrip RTK corrections and the included surveying software was a bonus. I purchased this simply to locate ground control points for my drone surveying projects, but it performs so well, I am using it on my standard boundary and topo surveys also. I was also impressed with the fast delivery, especially since it was from overseas. I have already used it on several projects. Fast GPS fix, fast data collection and it is yielding sub-centimeter as advertised.

This unit is extremely difficult to set up. The manual is nearly useless. It's obviously written in Chinese and poorly translated into English. I have spent hours and hours trying to decipher what they are talking about. Almost at the end of the 30 day return window without success of setup. Really disappointed.
