WOODEN TRIPOD AZA1038
The AZA1038 Wooden Tripod from Azalab is a premium-grade, heavy-duty instrument stand designed for high-precision surveying, construction layout, and geodetic applications. Built for professionals who prioritize accuracy and long-term stability, this tripod delivers exceptional vibration dampening and reliable field performance under demanding site conditions.
Superior Stability with Natural Vibration Dampening
Unlike aluminum tripods, wooden tripods provide natural vibration absorption, making them the preferred choice for total stations, theodolites, laser scanners, and auto levels—especially for long-distance and high-accuracy measurements.
The AZA1038 is manufactured from seasoned hardwood, carefully selected and treated to resist moisture, warping, and deformation, ensuring consistent performance in both dry and humid environments
Description
Robust Construction & Secure Locking
The tripod features extendable wooden legs fitted with heavy-duty metal clamps or quick-lock mechanisms, allowing precise height adjustment and firm locking during operation. Each leg terminates in steel-tipped pointed shoes, providing excellent grip on soil, gravel, sand, and uneven terrain.
Its wide stance design enhances load distribution and minimizes movement, even when supporting heavier surveying instruments.
Universal Instrument Compatibility
The metal-reinforced tripod head is available in flat or dome configuration and includes the industry-standard 5/8″ × 11 mounting thread, ensuring compatibility with:
-
Total stations
-
Theodolites
-
Auto and dumpy levels
-
Laser scanners and rotary lasers
The reinforced top plate prevents flexing and securely holds instruments in place during extended field sessions.
Field-Ready & Weather-Resistant
The hardwood body is sealed and lacquered to protect against moisture ingress, UV exposure, and environmental wear. All metal components are corrosion-treated, extending the service life of the tripod even in harsh outdoor conditions.
Although heavier than aluminum models, the AZA1038 maintains good portability through its foldable design and included shoulder strap, making transportation manageable across large sites.

The AZA1038 Wooden Tripod is widely used in:
-
Land surveying and geodetic control
-
Road, bridge, and infrastructure projects
-
Construction layout and alignment
-
Mining and geological surveys
-
Academic and professional field training
It is particularly recommended for long-duration setups where maximum stability and minimal vibration are essential.
