Product Description

The Benchmark Supply's i83 and F8 Base & Rover Surveying Package combines two high-performance GNSS receivers in a versatile setup designed for demanding field applications. With advanced satellite tracking, long battery life, and robust connectivity, this package is ideal for topographic surveys, construction layout, excavation control, and mining operation survey.

Both the i83 and F8 receivers (Innovation by CHC, Performance for You) are equipped with 1408 channels and iStar 2.0 technology, enabling full multi-constellation tracking across GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and IRNSS systems. This ensures faster satellite acquisition and higher positioning reliability even in challenging environments.

The F8 GNSS rover brings together lightweight construction, advanced iStar 2.0 technology for superior ionospheric error mitigation, and a 200Hz Auto-IMU with tilt compensation up to 60°—allowing efficient stakeouts in challenging terrain. It’s also equipped with dual cameras for visual surveying, ideal for capturing high-accuracy data and site photos on the go.

The F8 rover includes cutting-edge features such as dual cameras for augmented field data capture, iStar 2.0 ionospheric error mitigation, and a 200Hz IMU module for real-time tilt compensation up to 60°. Whether working near buildings, fences, or uneven terrain, the i89 ensures precision without the need for vertical pole alignment.

The included Active5 8-inch tablet is powered by Android and comes pre-installed with LandStar 8 software, offering a modern, map-centric interface for data collection, COGO, CAD integration, and surface modeling, and one-year subscription of Control Point Corrections TrueRTK (powered by Point One Navigation) for centimeter-level accuracy. Field-ready accessories are also included to ensure seamless setup and reliable use in all survey conditions.
