//—— In Great Working Condition——//

The Nikon AX-1 remains a solid choice for entry-level survey work, offering excellent optics, an 18x telescope, and a durable build that’s easy to handle for small construction tasks

• Equipped with high-quality Japanese optics and a crisp 18× magnification telescope—offering clear, sharp views—even in lower light conditions.

• A magnetic-damped self-leveling compensator ensures accurate readings with a tolerance of approximately 1/16″ at 200 ft (≈1.5 mm at 60 m).

• The minimum focus distance is around 2.46 ft (0.75 m), with a field of view near 2.6 ft at 100 ft (≈1° 30′).

• Built tough with IP52-rated protection, safeguarding against dust ingress and light rain—great for typical jobsite conditions.

• Weighs approximately 2.9 lbs (1.3 kg) and mounts on standard 5/8-11 tripods
