South ALPS1 Rover Set Review

The South ALPS1 Receiver

The South ALPS1 is an advanced GNSS receiver equipped with laser and camera functionality, designed to streamline and expand surveying capabilities. With its unique combination of video shooting and laser measurement, ALPS1 captures hundreds of coordinates within minutes and extends the range of data collection to hard-to-reach or obstructed areas. This versatile device works efficiently in low-light or obstructed environments, making it ideal for both urban and remote settings, as well as day or night use. ALPS1 prioritizes surveyor safety by enabling remote measurements, reducing the need for physical proximity to hazardous locations, and offering enhanced flexibility in large and confined spaces alike.

Measure directly into your coordinate system with the SurvStar Software

The new South SurvStar Android software integrates seamlessly with the latest RTK receivers, allowing quick mode switching, advanced CAD support (.dxf, .dwg), Google Maps integration, and global coordinates. It offers diverse export formats, a visual stakeout, and optimized PPK for reliable centimeter accuracy even in low-signal areas. With the Wiselink tech, SurvStar enables instant internet connections between rover and base, improving field efficiency.

South H6 Data Collector

H6 is South’s newest generation professional Android controller. With its Android 8.1 operating system this data collector is lightning fast. The full QWERTY keyboard with separate keys for 26 letters and numbers makes input in the field faster for most surveyors, and meanwhile, benefits them with higher efficiency and improved productivity as well as being able to work well in the rain. This is where touchscreen tablets often fail.

What can you expect with the South H6!

GPS Survey pole

Make it easy to carry by mounting everything on a GPS Survey Pole. Recommended length is over 2 metres to minimise interference to your GNSS receiver and improve performance.

Data collector bracket

This is needed to ensure that your data collector stays firmly in place. It prevents it from being damaged unnecessarily and you don’t have to hold it in your hand all day.
