Nikon XS 5-Arc-Second Total Station with Optical Plummet

The Nikon XS 5″ is a mechanical total station with 5-arc-second angular accuracy, 30× autofocus optics and dual-face displays. This preferred configuration uses the optical plummet. Its reflectorless range reaches 800 m on a 90%-reflective target in good conditions, or 400 m on an 18%-reflective target under the same conditions. The single-prism range reaches 5000 m in good conditions. Hot-swappable lithium-ion batteries, onboard Nikon software and 50,000-point memory support field surveying.
