Wild Heerbrugg GSLE levelling staff
Product details: Wild Heerbrugg GSLE levelling staff | Wild Heerbrugg | Tripods and staffs | | Material: Aluminium
I have two GSLE staffs. One is a 'regular' erect staff which reads 0 at the bottom. The other is an inverted staff reading 4.0 on the bottom of the last part. The erect staff consists of 5 sections where each section is labeled with a dot for the number of meters. The inverted staff has the meters labeled in front of the decimeters.
Though both staffs have the same identification they are different and cannot be connected to each other. The principe is the same though with a bayonet style connection. The advantage over telescopic staffs is that there is no risk of keeping one section retracted. The disadvantage is that there is a possibility of gaps between the section.
The 5 section set came in a bag and seems one section too long for that bag. What is also interesting is that the red and black fronts are mirrored on the back of the staffs of the 5 section set. The codes are actually amended with an s (schwartz) or an r (rot) to identify the colour of the staff.
