If the advertised 16 hours of battery holds any true, this is definitely a game changer for environmental surveying. I absolutely love the TSC7, but the battery life is far from fantastic, so i have to lob around 1-2 extra sets of battery to complete a full day of surveying. The less weight i have to haul around, the easier it is to crawl through the brush and walk long distances.
One of our crews recently went from the TSC7 to the TSC5 and he absolutely loves it. The battery life is spectacular and he has less issues with large PDFs lagging or crashing. I set it up for him and it seemed a solid piece of equipment.
I’ve been working with the TSC7 for months now... MASSIVE upgrade from the TSC3. The screen is amazing but it’s the map function (in Trimble access) that really puts it over the top for me. The weight is a bit off putting at first though. I rate it 10/10.
