Emlid Reach RX2: Pocket-Sized Precision
Let's face it, most survey gear looks like it was designed in the 90s and weighs about the same as a small car battery. The Emlid Reach RX2 is the antidote. This is a featherweight, all-band RTK rover designed to do one job perfectly: deliver centimetre accuracy via NTRIP corrections from your phone. At just 280 grams, it weighs less than your morning coffee and is so compact you might actually forget you're carrying it. Please try not to.
Why You Want It
Because your back hurts and you just want your gear to work with your phone. The RX2 is the ultimate tool for agility. It's for the GIS pro mapping assets, the utility worker locating infrastructure, or the surveyor who's tired of wrestling with heavy, complicated equipment. It connects to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth, pairs seamlessly with apps like ArcGIS Field Maps, and pulls in corrections without any fuss. No radios, no extra modems, just simple, lightweight precision.
Features and Highlights
- Stupidly Lightweight Design: At only 280 g, it's a true featherweight. You can mount it on a pole, pair it with PIX4Dcatch for 3D scanning, or just hold it all day without your arm falling off.
- Pure NTRIP Simplicity: Designed from the ground up to be the perfect NTRIP rover. It uses your phone's internet connection, so there's no messing with radio frequencies. If your phone has signal, you're in business.
- Full GNSS Power, Fun-Sized Package: Don't let the size fool you. Inside is a 672-channel receiver that tracks all major satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) for a fast, reliable fix even in tricky spots.
- Fast Tilt Compensation: Get accurate readings even when the pole isn't perfectly level. It's ideal for capturing points at the base of buildings or in hard-to-reach spots, saving you time and frustration.
