Hi, I handle the setting out for a residential ground works firm and we recently swapped from topcon to  leica ts06+ kit set.

We never got our promised training but I've managed to teach myself how to use all of it bar one thing, the prism. We stick it on the tripod, and we get an inverted image through the plummit where its impossible to focus both the image and the black target together. Is this normal? I can barely get it within 5mm and that isn't an unacceptable level of accuracy for me (coming from a now broken topcon prism/tribrach with non mirrored perfect clarity).

Also we've had some water getting in the screen (damp patch on the inside of the screen) after just half an hour in the rain, is this normal? Its only two months old, and its not boxed or left in the van in damp conditions

How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.

We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

All Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.
