Tablets, Tablet Brackets, and GIS/Collector Apps

Hi All,

Finally got my (2) Reach RS+ units, and I’m beginning to learn and make mistakes.

I’m interested in good economical solutions for tablets, tablet brackets, and data collection apps to use with my rover unit.

I saw Simon_Allen’s great post regarding using Mapit, so that looks like a good place to start.

My use case is primarily collecting point data in RTK mode or for PPK processing. Generally, I’m surveying vegetation and would like to collect position, point id, and some type of species/plant type information. I may collect 400 points at a given location/plot.

Ideally, I would be able to generate forms for the data collection, similar to what’s available through ESRI’s products.

So specifically, I’m interested in…

1. What apps people are using to do similar work.
2. What tablets are most economical in that they can run the apps, have good brightness in the field, and good battery life.
3. Good options for brackets to hold the tablet to the survey pole.

Thanks everyone!
