Precision Compared: Lightweight E1 Lite RTK vs. Robust Total Station…
We’ve tested the E1 Lite RTK against traditional total stations and noticed a striking difference. The lightweight design and 1cm accuracy make fieldwork smoother than we expected for RTK gear. With 1408 channels and IMU integration, data collection is precise yet effortless, unlike the heavier, bulkier total stations we’ve used. While the E1 Lite lacks tripods and poles, the handheld design excels in speed and flexibility for smaller projects. The software is intuitive, reducing setup time compared to older systems. Still, the E1 Lite’s robustness is a mixed bag—ideal for urban environments but less suitable for extremely rough terrain. In short, it bridges the gap between RTK and total stations, offering a creative, efficient solution for surveyors prioritizing portability without sacrificing core performance.
