Setting up a permanent base

Just got an S3 and will be installing it within the next week or so. We did set it up on a regular tripod to get everything running, and the setup is fairly straight forward and the LS logs into it and gets fix, really quick.

So will update once we get it mounted permanently.

I also want to add that another potentially unoticed benefit is the huge time savings I get in not setting up a new base every survey. Over time this is hours and hours to my life if not to effeciency and a blow to competition. On local jobs where I might have a couple part day field trips, the same base is used and after I finish one site I just change the job in the LS, drive over to new site and survey, without base fuss, etc....

And if for some reason I do need to use optical methods on a site I just tried GNSS and it not ideal......I lost nothing on setup overhead
