Review Kolida K5 IMU Rover Set Review

The Kolida K5 IMU RTK GPS Receiver

Featuring a powerful 692 channels GNSS mainboard inside, K5 IMU can track and process all the existed satellite constellations. With the utility of BEIDOU (COMPASS) signal, the data acquisition speed and GNSS signal stability are greatly improved from old generation technology. Thanks to the inertial measurement technology, K5 IMU allows user to do a tilt survey with a maximum tilt angle of 60 °. Centering is not a must, so surveyors can stay in safe position when they measure on motorway, and don’t need to step into water . Not like tilt sensor, Inertial Measurement Unit is no more affected by the earth’s magnetic field and requires no correction. It can be activated and start working within only few seconds, this fast positioning will increase measurement speed by over 20%. The combination algorithm of IMU + GNSS can get fixed solution faster and keep measurement results more stable, accuracy is down to 2cm.

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.
