Overview The SECO 5700-20 12 ft Quick-Release Pole is a professional adjustable survey pole designed for fast prism positioning, construction layout, robotic total station work, and general field surveying. Its two-section aluminum design extends to 11.81 ft (3.60 m) and collapses to 5.18 ft (1.58 m) for transportation and storage. The Quick-Release locking mechanism allows rapid height adjustments and includes adjustable tension through set screws in the handle and spring assembly. A 40-minute level vial is positioned on the lock, away from instruments mounted at the top of the pole. Dual graduations in engineer’s 10ths and centimeters, an adjustable tip, and a durable red-and-white finish support precise everyday field use. Key Features Professional Quick-Release survey pole SECO part number: 5700-20 Two-section adjustable pole Maximum extended length of 11.81 ft Maximum extended length of 3.60 m Closed length of 5.18 ft Closed length of 1.58 m Quick-Release locking mechanism Adjustable lock tension Set screw located in the handle Additional set screw helps retain the locking spring Integrated 40-minute level vial Vial positioned on the lock, away from mounted instruments Dual graduations in engineer’s 10ths and centimeters Adjustable pole tip Powder-coated aluminum construction Silk-screened measuring graduations Red and white finish Available through authorized dealers Quick-Release Locking Mechanism The SECO 5700-20 features a Quick-Release locking system designed for fast pole-height adjustment. The operator can release the lock, extend or retract the pole, and secure it at the required height without repeatedly turning a conventional twist-lock knob. This is useful for crews who frequently change prism heights throughout the workday. Adjustable Lock Tension The Quick-Release mechanism includes a set screw in the handle that allows the locking tension to be adjusted. A second set screw helps keep the internal spring properly positioned. These adjustment points support reliable lock operation and allow the mechanism to be maintained as it experiences normal field wear. Lock-Mounted 40-Minute Vial A 40-minute level vial is located directly on the locking mechanism. Positioning the vial away from the top of the pole helps prevent interference from a mounted prism, GNSS accessory, or other surveying equipment. The vial provides a clear visual reference for keeping the pole vertical over the intended measurement point. Two-Section Extended-Reach Design The SECO 5700-20 uses two adjustable sections to provide the following working range: Extended length: 11.81 ft (3.60 m) Closed length: 5.18 ft (1.58 m) Its additional reach makes the pole suitable for elevated prism setups, grade changes, excavations, and other applications where a standard-height pole may not be sufficient. Dual 10ths and Centimeter Graduations The pole includes dual measuring scales for engineering and metric workflows: Engineer’s 10ths Centimeters The silk-screened graduations allow the operator to set and confirm the pole height before entering it into a total station, data collector, or field software. Adjustable Tip The SECO 5700-20 includes an adjustable tip for fine-tuning the overall pole height. This allows the pole configuration to be adjusted for specific prism-height requirements, surface conditions, and field procedures. The final pole height should always be verified before collecting measurements. Powder-Coated Aluminum Construction The pole is manufactured from aluminum and finished with a durable powder coating. Silk-screened graduations provide clear height references, while the red-and-white finish improves visibility across active construction sites and survey projects. Ideal Applications Robotic total station surveying Conventional total station surveying Prism positioning Construction layout Grade staking Boundary surveying Topographic surveying Utility layout Excavation measurements Engineering fieldwork Extended-height survey setups Technical Specifications Specification Detail Product Type Quick-Release survey pole SECO Part Number 5700-20 Number of Sections 2 Maximum Extended Length 11.81 ft Maximum Extended Length Metric 3.60 m Closed Length 5.18 ft Closed Length Metric 1.58 m Pole Material Aluminum Finish Powder coated Graduation Method Silk screened Graduations Engineer’s 10ths and centimeters Locking Mechanism Quick Release Lock Tension Adjustable Vial Accuracy 40 minutes Vial Location On locking mechanism Tip Adjustable Color Red and white Availability Authorized dealers only What’s Included 1 × SECO 12 ft Quick-Release Pole with Adjustable Tip SECO p/n: 5700-20 1 × Integrated 40-minute level vial 1 × Adjustable tip Prism, prism adapter, bipod, carrying case, and other surveying accessories are sold separately. Fast Extended-Reach Pole Adjustment The SECO 5700-20 combines an 11.81-foot maximum reach with a fast Quick-Release lock, adjustable tension, dual graduations, and a conveniently positioned 40-minute vial. Its durable aluminum construction makes it a practical pole for professional surveying and construction layout.
