Our tripods and towers are sturdy instrument mounts designed to support sensors, wiring, antennas, and instrument enclosures. Both tripods and towers can be guyed (required for the twenty and thirty foot towers, recommended for tripods or ten foot towers subjected to severe winds). The tripods have adjustable legs that are deployed more easily in various soil/rock substrates. The towers allow higher measurement heights (to 30 feet/10 meters), and the unguyed 10 foot model has a smaller "footprint" than a tripod.
