This video explains the hardware, software, and related items needed to enable Skadi Tilt Compensation™. Skadi Tilt Compensation allows you to obtain accurate GNSS locations without leveling your surveying range pole; this makes field work faster and more efficient. Skadi Tilt Compensation may be used with a Skadi 200™, Skadi 300™, or Skadi Gold™ GNSS receiver from Eos Positioning Systems®.

Skadi Tilt Compensation™: User Manual
This manual guides you through the steps to enable, initialize, and begin using Skadi Tilt Compensation™. Requires a Skadi Tilt Compensation activation.
Skadi Tilt Compensation™
Skadi Tilt Compensation™ is the first tilt compensation solution specifically for the GIS market. With this solution activated, field workers can rectify errors introduced from tilted angles during data collection with a survey range pole. This extremely accurate feature introduces only about 0.3 millimeters (0.01 inches) of inaccuracy per degree of tilt. It is recommended for crews who use range poles, require centimeter-level (RTK) accuracy, and want to eliminate time spent leveling their poles on each point. Skadi Tilt Compensation is available as an optional upgrade for the Skadi 200™, Skadi 300™, and Skadi Gold™.
