plummets

(OP)
i've hired an instrument and they've supplied an optical plummet, i've always used a laser one, which is more acurrate? i appreciate that lasers struggle in the sunlight! so should i get them to change the tribrach?? or stick with the optical one??

RE: plummets

Stick with the Optical one. You will be able to work better in Day Light Hours. The Laser is hard to see. Besides, you measure a distance from your known elevation to the dot on the side of the gun, input the info and off you go. Besides, how accurate do you need to be?
