//—— 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′).
