PENTAX GNSS receiver GX2 series

The GX2 Series lineup consists of three models to suit various applications: GX2-C, GX2-L, and GX2-A.

GX2 Series Lineup

GX2-C Downward-facing (for pile driving) camera with photogrammetric surveying function

GX2-C downward-facing camera + photogrammetric surveying function

Convenient for measuring inside fences and median strip curbs that are difficult to access directly.

After taking a picture of a measurement point once and walking with the camera pointed so that the measurement point is within the shooting range, the camera automatically takes a picture and displays the number of cuts taken.

After taking a picture, align the point to be measured on the image with the cross mark, and tap the selection button to display the coordinates.

GX2-L downward facing camera (for pile driving) + laser range finder

Convenient for measuring in places that cannot be approached directly or at high elevations.

AR real-time downward-facing camera (for pile driving) mounted on 3 models of GX2-A

A downward-facing (staking) camera guides the user to the point with real-time images of the actual location and arrows. A red circle will be displayed when approaching the point. This helps to improve the efficiency of the surveying work.
