The most important criterion for a good tripod is its stability, quite explicitly, the torsional rigidity. With that, a very valuable, but not the only, argument for the original tripod from Leica Geosystems has been named. Other substantial benefits are the height stability under load and the minimal horizontal drift. Also not to be underestimated are advantages such as long life, optimal vibration dampening, water resistance, outstanding behaviour in solar radiation and their weight in relation to load-bearing capacity.

Similarly to the stability of the tripod, that of the tribrach is a significant factor in measurement accuracy. The torsional rigidity, the most important criterion of a tribrach, is constantly controlled and tested during its production. The maintenance-free foot screws of the Leica Geosystems tribrach provide movement that is always smooth and free of play, even after years of use. The precise alignment of the support area to the base plate of the instrument assures extremely accurate forced centring. The optical plummet is so robust that the need for adjustment during the entire lifetime of the tribrach is practically unnecessary. Its construction predestines the tribrach for all applications, including extreme temperatures and high dust and humidity.

The range of a prism results from, among other things, its coating and the glass geometry. A number of Original prisms from Leica Geosystems have a special coating on the reflective surfaces - the Anti-Reflex Coating, and a copper coating on the reverse side. Without these, the range of distance measuring, ATR and Powersearch would be reduced by up to 30%. The workmanship and the durability of the copper coating are decisive for a long life. The glass dimensions, the position in the holder and with it the areal orientation, are important for measuring accuracy. Leica Geosystems prisms are manufactured from glass of the highest quality and furnished with optical coatings so that even under the most extreme environmental conditions, a long lifetime and maximum range of the highest accuracy can be achieved.

At first glance, chargers and batteries do not seem to be especially important accessories. Perhaps not ever when it is essential that the user must pay attention to quality or origin. Experience shows the opposite. Instruments and their electronics react sensitively and need a reliable power supply in all environmental conditions. Batteries and chargers are also exposed to these conditions - some will function, others might and some not for long or not at all, under certain conditions. That is why the quality and efficiency of the Originals also counts for batteries and chargers.

The Leica Geosystems accessory program includes data transfer cables, power tension cables and antenna cables of the highest quality. For data transfer, Leica Geosystems offers serial and USB data cables. The data transfer over the cable from and to the instrument is therefore extremely reliable and secure, even in extreme heat, cold, snow and rain.

Losing data after a work-filled day is frustrating and expensive. The electronic accessories from Leica Geosystems comply with a higher standard than the commercially available accessories that meet consumer or even industry standards. The storage media and other data transfer products from Leica Geosystems are qualitatively of extremely high value and reliability.

Like all other Leica Geosystems Accessories, the Original carriers distinguish themselves through outstanding quality features. The high precision carriers of the Professional 5000 Series offer you a choice between a carrier with laser plummet, or optical plummet and longitudinal bubble for high accuracy positioning. Professional 5000 carriers deliver an outstanding 0.3 mm centring accuracy. The carriers of the Professional 3000 Series offer a centring accuracy of 1.0 mm.

Due to the use of materials such as carbon and aluminium, the original reflector poles from Leica Geosystems offer an optimal balance of weight, stability and longevity. According to series and model, they are available either with a tip made of Widia®, an extremely hard carbide material, or with interchangeable tips. Their construction allows simple handling with high application steadiness.

The accessories for reflector poles provide, on the one hand, a quick set-up and stability. Furthermore, additional accessories are available to mount radio antennas for maximising radio range.

The optical performance and quality from Leica Geosystems have set a worldwide standard, and this is naturally also true for the eyepieces and ancillary lenses for the instruments. This is important in order not to compromise the instrument optics with lower quality accessories.

Valuable, sensitive instruments and accessories are optimally protected in Leica Geosystems containers and bags. The hard-shell cases are subjected to drop tests and protect the contents with against drops, dust and splashing water. At the same time, the containers and bags are designed for maximum organisation and the best possible carrying comfort.

The choice between the Professional 5000 and Professional 3000 Series is based on the application and the associated demands on consistent high precision. The Invar levelling staffs of the 5000 Series, for example, distinguish themselves through a minimal thermal expansion coefficient. The levelling staffs of the 3000 Series are made of fibreglass, or aluminium and are well suited for all common applications.
