"We considered some of the mini stakeout poles but to get our accuracies, we would have to keep the prism very low and the obstructions would prevent that. Then I saw an advertisement for The Marksman. We have done some limited testing with The Marksman and have estimated that we can plumb the prism over a point to accuracy of less than 1mm, if we keep the prism on a 1 meter extension or less."

" Two fun projects last week with Van Harten Surveying Inc. and The Marksman Targeting Solutions using our Leica MS50. First was laying-out about 120 anchor bolt locations at 1mm accuracy in a very warm and humid plant. We layed them all out, drilled them, and then checked the holes from setups to verify the accuracy. All in less than 4hrs! Least squares analysis showed that we hit the mark every time. The next day I was on top of an old pier in the Grand River marking out locations for a new pedestrian bridge in Elora. They went in great as well even though I can't hold the camera straight! "

" I'm very happy with the Marksman for GPS on Bench Mark observations for the 2018 National Geodetic Survey campaign. The Marksman provides a quick, stable and accurate antenna setup. It is also very low profile and out of sight, adding to the security of the observation. With the antenna hidden away the survey crew is freed up to do other work in the area, like recovering adjacent marks or observing on more than one mark along a bench run line at the same time. Many thanks to you guys for a tool well designed!

"I have been using The Marksman Prism Tripod and it is an excellent tool and easy to use especially for a one man crew using a robot. Mr. Gerry Clarke provides excellent service and is always willing to offer great tips to ensure that you are using the tripod the best way possible."

"We were hired by our client to work alongside their QA/QC department in the construction of a large industrial complex. We were tasked with verification of various structures constructed and machinery installed by multiple contractors on site.
It was our responsibility to insure that the installation followed plans and met the required tolerances, some as small as 1 mm. The use of high accuracy instruments was mandated and we were concerned that achieving the needed accuracy in sighting would be problematic.
We considered various methods and after seeing “The Marksman” advertised in various trade magazines we decided to give it a try.The Marksman fit the bill, the ease of use and repeatability of shots is wonderful, giving us the confidence that we need.
Enabling us to provide our client with the information they requested and the confidence that the facility was constructed correctly."

"In using The Marksman, it provides a compact system which keep hands free, and yet provide a stabile platform for reliable, consistent, repeatable results. I use it for monitoring numerous high accuracy pins and positions. Being a compact unit allows for faster setups, and quicker changes in positions while maintaning speed without the cost of loss of accuracy."

"The Marksman is an absolute must for the surveyor looking for a quick, effortless way to layout datum points accurately and efficiently. I'm sure that once you get your Marksman out in the field, you'll find as I did, that the possibilities for making your Surveying tasks simpler and quicker are endless!"

" Throughout September - December 2015 I contracted (who came highly recommended) - Coordinate Control Inc. to layout 71 anchor bolt assemblies @ 800lbs. each not an easy task to set for our new cranes which required high precision. The Marksman made this an efficient project and achieved the necessary precision and really precision is what it's all about! "
