Crain Tri-Max Standard Dual Clamp Tripod TRIMAX 90553

Crain Tri-Max Standard Dual Clamp Tripod TRIMAX 90553 ONLY $248.99 unitl Christmas

Tri-Max tripods are certified to meet or exceed ISO Certification Standards – making it the only tripod on the market with certifiable accuracy. All new Tri-Max tripods come equipped with a serial number on the hinge assuring you that the tripod has successfully passed all necessary testing and is certified to meet the ISO 12858-2-H standards.

Crain has now put the Tri-Max to the ultimate test, the ISO 12858-2-H. Not only did we test the Tri-Max, but we tested nine of the best selling tripods on the market. The results were gratifying; the Tri-Max was the only tripod that passed the test. We’re so convinced of the accuracy and stability that the Tri-Max can provide, we back it up with a 5-year warranty.

• As instruments become more accurate, tripod stability becomes more important. The horizontal accuracy of any surveying instrument can be directly affected by the stability of the tripod used with it.
• Without exception, no other tripod even comes close to delivering the stability and performance of the Tri-Max tripod!
• The patented Tri-Max is truly a next generation tripod and is the only tripod that will truly meet your needs!
• With rugged construction throughout, the design features premium materials including advanced fiberglass composite.
• Try one for yourself; if in your professional judgment, you determine the Tri-Max. is not the best tripod available, we’ll refund your money! This money back guarantee on the Tri-Max is valid for 60 days, given the tripod is in “like-new” condition.
• The Tri-Max outperforms all other tripods for functionality, special applications, accessories, and ergonomics.

The past half-century has seen an incredible evolution in surveying/positioning instrumentation; from one-minute theodolites to present day one-second total stations, GPS, laser systems, and now servo-driven, laser scanning, photogrammetry, robotic, and machine control systems.  Evolutions in instrumentation have significantly increased the demands on support platforms (tripods).  Precision has increased substantially, typical set-up durations are much longer, and efficiency expectations are also greater.  Additionally, today’s instruments tend to be much heavier and have larger wind sail areas.  Torsional load from servo-driven and robotic instruments apply particularly severe loads (Note:  Compensators, including 2-axis, do not correct horizontal drift). Over the years, conventional tripod designs have essentially remained the same.  The few design changes that have occurred, consisted mainly of several new leg locks, material substitutions, and cost reductions.  Modern requirements, particularly those for substantially increased tripod stability have gone unanswered. Crain’s revolutionary Tri-Max tripod, stands alone in meeting today’s demanding stability requirements.  In fact, tests have confirmed that the Tri-Max, in many cases, is more than 100 times more stable than conventional tripods, and retains this stability in use, without frequent adjustments, in the face of commonly encountered field conditions such as age, wind, fatigue, contamination, wear, temperature, moisture, and humidity.  What is the direct result of the superior stability that exists in the Tri-Max?  Significant increases in realized accuracy (closure) is not just possible, but common! Unparalled-no other tripod even approaches the Tri-Max’s performance! To develop the Tri-Max, ultra-modern materials and processes were combined.  This next generation tripod was created using computer aided modeling and analysis techniques.  A unique hinge spindle design permits leg rotation yet prevents lateral movement.  Legs are connected with a rigid adhesive that never loosens regardless of age and environmental exposures.  The entire structure is designed to dampen vibration and resist creep.
	Composite extensible legs are formed in a continuous wedge profile that allows more locking force to be developed by hand clamping than conventional tripods develop with their locking systems engaged.  The Tri-Max is not only significantly better than all other tripods; it actually creates a new standard for tripod performance.
Retaining System
A popular feature, the kick out prevention system (standard) is designed to prevent instrument falls on slick surfaces and from persons tripping on a leg.  The system stores on the inside of the leg or can be left in place.  This feature does not interfere with plummeting or instrument person’s stance.  One “save” is all it takes!
Accessories A number of accessories are available for the Tri-Max Series tripods.  They include leg bags, storage bags, retractable points for finished floors, foot spikes, plates for unstable terrain, and equipment attachment snap-rings. Advanced Designs In addition to outstanding stability, the Tri-Max tripods are loaded with other important and practical features.
Tri-Max tripods feature a large, round head that is precision turned.  The mounting hole is also large to aid plummeting.
Snap cap head cover (standard) attaches without screws and has a retainer strap included.
Ergonomic designs include a wide carry strap (standard) with shoulder pad and a carry handle (also standard), which is unique to the Tri-Max and far more comfortable than hole-in-leg handles.
Another Tri-Max exclusive feature is the open leg design, which facilitates mounting of equipment bags, data collectors, batteries, and many other accessories directly to the tripod’s legs.  Removal is not necessary when the tripod is collapsed and stored.  Additionally, convenient utility rings (standard), for attaching accessories, are provided on the center leg caps and on the tripod’s feet.
Tri-Max® Foot
The Tri-Max features a large footbed to better facilitate solid “planting” for stability.  The shape of the foot is designed to solidly engage terrain, is equipped with a replaceable steel point, and is designed to accept a number of unique accessories.  A special applications attachment/retention loop is provided on the rear of the foot.
The foot’s superior strength is clearly demonstrated when it is driven into a log with a sledgehammer, without failure!
Locking Systems
Two new locking systems are available:  Quick Clamp (lever-cam) and Screw Clamp (knob-screw) styles.  Both styles are ergonomic, positive-locking, and field reversible to the inside as shown.  On tall models, an additional thumbscrew style lock is also standard.  A fixed-leg model (collapses for shipping) is also available.  Wedge profile legs can actually lock by hand clamping!  All Tri-Max locking systems are designed to form a single unified rigid instrument platform system.
Unstable Terrain Tall Tri-Max tripods can be equipped with accessories, which permit stable performance on unstable terrain conditions such as mud, snow, frost, tundra, wetlands, and sand.  Stability is attained by isolation of the tripod feet from the user’s feet, reduction of subsidence, and increased base span.  Only the Tri-Max overcomes these difficult terrain conditions.

FSMS Trade Show a Great Success

Success can be defined in three words – Stop Your Bitchin’

Stakemill had a great showing at the recent Florida Surveying and Mapping Society’s Trade Show.  We were able to sell four Magellan Mobile Mappers, numerous American Made Rod Man Setups and lots of leads four the LaserTech Range Finders. 

We did notice we were the only wood stake producer in attendance at the show and none of the other LaserTech dealers took the time to display TruPulse Range Finders.  The second generation leadership skills show well amongst those now closing locations while we outgrow our current location.

Count on seeing Stakemill at the 2010 FSMS Trade Show in Naples Florida.

Stakemill Announces Sales Increase Each Quarter

Stakemill Announces Sales Increase Each Quarter

Stakemill – a division of Bay Pines Investments is proud to announce it has seen a steady rise each quarter in our Survey Supplies Sales.  Even in turbulent times, those business weld poised will prosper in sales and market share over those who have overextended themselves and are not strong in their management departments.  Stakemill has maintained most of our original customers since our starting in 1978 and have picked up numerous customers left abandoned by closed locations from other suppliers.  Seeing a few of our competitors going into their next generation and some who have tried to reach into too many markets, Stakemill has found opportunity to move into those areas now left either un-serviced by those locations closed or ignored by new management. 

In late 2008 Stakemill added such suppliers as Sokkia, Dunham & Morrow, Apache Technologies to compliment our Land Survey and GPS lineup from such leaders as Magellan, CST Berger, Seco and Crain.  In early 2009 Stakemill has added the product lineup from Spectra Precision and in mid 2009 we will be adding the Topcon lineup.  All of these suppliers had more than adequate coverage in Florida prior to their relations with Stakemill, leaving one to wonder how Florida survey suppliers left so many opportunities to arise.

The third quarter of 2009 will have Stakemill looking to expand our clerical and sales staff to keep up with demand from local, international and internet customers.  Come join our ever growing family.
