VISUAL STAKEOUT +
SURVEY IMU-RTK GNSS
The i89 and i93 visual receivers change
everything about staking and storing points in the field!
Visual staking:
with both forward and down facing cameras, connected by high
speed, 300+ MB/sec 5G Wi-Fi; visual staking targets update 25
times each second. Precise onscreen targets indicate the exact stake
target point, updated in real time with no delay.
Visual surveying:
georeferenced 3D videos recorded along a project's edge
allow precise 3D point / object picking in the field, or back at
the office.
The purpose built [
iBase ] is
the perfect UHF Base companion for these ground breaking
receivers. |

Real-Time
Navigation and Stakeout
10-X faster stakeout
driven by visual feedback of the target location. Guided by
a clear, directional arrow, real time distance with audio
cues with the stakeout point clearly and accurately marked
on the ground.
High speed processing
enables instant activation. 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi ensures high-frame
rate video. A fast 200-Hz, auto-initializing IMU provides
reliable target offsets from the receiver's dynamic
position.
Automatic image zoom
provides tighter target point visualization.
VPT (Virtual Pole Tip)
technology overlays a pole tip at the target point, over the
rod, clamps and your hand.

Long Battery Life
High energy batteries
provide long field operation:
i89 4,900 mAh
16 hours
i93 9,600 mAh 34 hours
Intelligent, fast
charging for full battery charge in 3 to 5 hours using
standard USB Type-C cables and chargers. |
iSTAR 2 FIX
in Harsh Environments
These receivers deliver
unmatched performance with 1408-channel, full constellation
and full signal tracking.
Time-to-fix rates, fix
availability rates exceed all other devices in heavy canopy and harsh environments.
Narrowband multipath
mitigation ensures accurate RTK measurements with unmatched
accuracy and reliability.
VS rovers work best with iSTAR
base engines like the [
iBase ], but also have best in class performance with
any generic RTCM3.2/RTCM3.3 base or virtual network
correction source. |

iBase: 5-watt RTK Base
Station
Start your
Visual Survey projects in seconds
The iBase 5-watt UHF
GNSS station is a purpose built, all-in-one base station
with 2 large (7,000 mAh, 7.4 V) replaceable internal
batteries.
This provides 12-hours
of 5-watt base transmissions without external cables and
batteries.
Beyond a simple UHF
GNSS station, the iBase also includes a 4G LTE modem for
transmitting GNSS corrections to a TCP/IP server.
With a 1,408 channel
OEM engine matching the i93 and i89, the iBase is the
perfect companion for our Visual receivers.

INDUSTRIAL
GRADE DESIGN
iBase is the GNSS base
that you can rely on to survive drops from Tripods and keep
working in rain and snow for long workdays.
With IP67 water and
dust ingress protection and downward opening battery doors,
the iBase is designed to work the real world, on real jobs.
Fully integrated to
meet most UHF base needs, iBase eliminates cables,
batteries, external radios, external antennas while
providing high powered corrections for up to 15 miles. |

Visual Surveying Packages
The i89 and i93 Visual receiver kits include a charger and a 2-meter adjustable
carbon-fiber prism pole with a bubble and compass:
 The iBase receiver
kit includes two high-capacity batteries, a tribrach with a long-bubble
adapter and a 30 cm extension pole:

The iBase is purpose built and matches the Rovers, it is simple to
setup and makes the best choice for a Base + Rover pair.
If
you already own an X91+, iG8, iG8a, iG9 or iG9a you should consider
using them for a base as LandStar 8 support for these legacy
receivers is
excellent. [ LandStar 8
] is required to run the Visual
receivers. No other field software supports the High speed camera
functions. If you are worried that LandStar 8 won't meet your field
requirements or existing workflow, give it a try using the demo.

Call us for custom packages, any combination is possible. Because of [ field
processing speeds ] for Visual surveying image processing, we
recommend only flagship Android devices:
Google Pixel 6, 7, 8
Samsung S23
Samsung Tab Active 4 Pro 5G
For field use in hot or sunny environments, consider the [
ORCA-2 $1,000
]
All of these prosumer field devices are deeply discounted online
and are a fraction the price of the painfully slow Android
collectors we have sold in the past. The Deployment management tools
in LandStar 8 make it very simple to switch back and forth between
devices, preserving all settings, projects. Because the Wi-Fi
connection is used between the Android device and the Visual
receiver, you can only use Android devices that have cellular data
connections with the i89 when using a network server. If you are
considering purchasing a new tablet, favor the model with an
unlocked cellular modem. Approximate pricing for a Tab Active 4 tablet and a pole
bracket on Amazon is $761:
SAMSUNG Galaxy TabActive4 Pro 10.1” 128GB 5G Android Work
Tablet, LTE Unlocked, 6GB RAM
$710 [ Amazon Link ]
 Tablet Pole
Bracket
$23 [ Amazon Link ]
 The
TabActive4 comes with a lightweight outer shell. This ProCase
for Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro:
$28 [
Amazon Link ]

works with the Pole Bracket and has better drop and shock
resistance.
You may find better brackets, cases, tablets. There are 100's if
not 1000's of them available through many distribution channels.
This combination is what we use for demos, it was chosen primarily
for Visual Survey processing speed. |
