Where can we get the blue tripods?
Posted By Dave Huff on 3/8/2001 at 12:23 AM

Help! I am surrounded by the "yellow" users, in fact a friend of mine is now the "yellow" rep in my area doing fairly well. We've got a gazillion $$ Nissan plant going up in the area and the community is going NUTS!
In the meantime, my blue Ashtech receivers are on (you guessed it) yellow tripods! Where can we get the cool BLUE sho' nuff Ashtech tripods like we see in the ads? Will trade LOTS of (free) exposure for 3 (as close to free as you can get!) blue tripods!

Dave,

The tripod you see in the ads was custom made. It's the only one in existance.

Sounds like it's time to break out the spray paint.

Down here in Tejas we would probably use "fiesta blue".

Dear Dave,

Our dealer in China, Survey Tech, is very interested in providing blue tripods to any interested Ashtech customers and dealers.

Currently they supply the tripod to all of their customers in China. The tripod is beautiful blue with a white silk screen of Ashtech Precision Products. The paint and tripod are high quality. It is the same company in China that manufactures the tripod that Leica buys and sells with their name on it.

He has not set a price yet but he will beat Leica's published price guaranteed.

If anyone is interested just e-mail me:
