Nikon Nivo 5.C

This used Nikon Nivo 5.C total station is a compact reflectorless instrument designed for surveyors who need accuracy and speed without extra bulk. It performs distance measurement without a prism in addition to standard reflective measurement, which broadens its usefulness on sites where placing a prism is difficult or unsafe. The unit has been used in the field for general layout, boundary determination, and construction staking tasks typical of a working survey business. Nikon built the Nivo series with an emphasis on simple operation, and the 5.C model includes an easy to navigate onboard interface suited to both experienced surveyors and newer staff. It pairs well with common data collectors and survey coding software, letting crews move fluidly between fieldwork and office processing. The reflectorless capability in particular has made this model attractive to crews working around traffic, vegetation, or other obstacles where standard prism work would slow production. Offered here as a used instrument, this Nivo 5.C shows typical wear from field service but remains functional and ready for calibration verification by the buyer. It includes the standard accessory kit generally supplied with resale total stations. Surveying companies looking for an affordable reflectorless total station to round out their equipment inventory will find this a practical addition.
