RTC 360 Tie Off Point for Upside-Down Scanning Suggestions

Post by Kruse »

We have lots of scanning coming up with our RTC 360 being upside-down. Does anyone know of a product or way to safely tie off the scanner if it were to somehow come off the plate? I'm thinking maybe a collar of somekind that secures around the rotating base (with the silver latch) that has a loop or tie off point as an extra precaution.

Just looking for something that gives us the warm and fuzzy feeling that it's not going anywhere :lol: . Curious to see if anyone else has come up with a solution.

We used Goecke's tripod in the photo to survey the insides of many sewer manhole covers. Depth up to 4 meters. Excellent purchase. Gives a lot of security when we send our rtc360 down there ;)

I did learn at least there's a way to lock the securing latch so it can't come undone. using the allen wrench in the case, you can screw out a set screw through the silver latch and that set screw wedges itself into the latch preventing it from coming undone. Useful in case someone else didn't realize this like myself. :lol:

Still looking for a secondary way to tie off the scanner to prevent it from falling in the unlikely event it came undone from the tripod in anyway.
