Farpoint · UBM Accessory
The 5/8-11 post that adapts the Farpoint UBM to a surveyor's tripod.
The 5/8-11 Tripod Mounting Post lets the Farpoint UBM attach to a surveyor's tripod. The 5/8-11 thread (sometimes labeled “5/8 surveying” or “instrument thread”) is the standard large surveyor's-tripod thread, common on professional and tactical-grade tripods favored for their stability. Verify your tripod's exact thread spec before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a 5/8-11 tripod?
5/8-11 is the standard surveyor's/instrument-tripod thread — if your tripod is a survey or tactical model rather than a photo tripod, it likely uses this. Check the stud spec before ordering; email support@cxbastro.com if unsure.
Is this what ships with the UBM?
No — the UBM ships with the 3/8-16 photo-tripod post. Choose this 5/8-11 post only if you're mounting on a surveyor's tripod.
