Hardware review: Topcon GLS-1500 laser scanner
Professional Surveyor
While they certainly offer a variety of instruments with all the bells and whistles, I consider Topcon as a manufacturer of solid, dependable, “get the job done” equipment. This impression is supported by a statement on their website: “TPS prides itself on providing rugged, reliable, easy-to-use products that have been field-tested in order to meet rigid industry-leading standards.” And based on my recent experiences with the GLS-1500, I believe this instrument fits well with that business model.
