Being a metal, aluminum can slightly expand and contract due to temperature changes. Aluminum tripods provide the most ideal for setups that only last a short period of time, say an hour or less. Aluminum tripods are more economical, light-weight, and also long-lasting. They are ideal for leveling applications.

The Tripod Head
The tripod head is just that, it's the top of the tripod and is a surface for the surveying instrument to rest on and mount to. There are two head options available, dome or flat. This is mainly just a difference of preference. Both heads will do the same functions and work well with most surveying instruments. Circular dome are ideal for compensated instruments and lasers. A flat head surveying tripod is without a question the most popular tripod on the market today.
