CHCNAV i76 Palm-Size Visual IMU-RTK GNSS Receiver

CHCNAV i76 Palm-Size Visual RTK GNSS Receiver The full RTK rover that disappears into your hand If you've spent a day chasing points with a heavy receiver and a long pole, the CHCNAV i76 will feel like cheating. It's a complete visual IMU-RTK GNSS rover — full-constellation positioning, calibration-free tilt, and a live camera view — built into a 450-gram body roughly the size of your palm. Less weight on the pole, less fatigue by mid-afternoon, and a case that finally fits behind the seat instead of filling the truck bed. What makes the i76 different from a "smaller receiver" is the camera. Two wide-angle lenses feed a real-time augmented-reality view in LandStar, so instead of staring at a number and shuffling around, you watch your design lines and stakeout points laid over the actual ground and walk straight to them. CHCNAV's VPT™ (Virtual Pole Tip) keeps the target visible even when the pole is right at your feet — the point doesn't vanish under your hand the way it does on single-camera systems. For boundary corners, dense construction layout, or just checking you're on line, it's a genuinely faster way to work. Underneath the camera is a serious GNSS receiver. The new StellaX chip tracks all constellations across 1,892 channels and holds a fixed RTK solution in the kind of obstructed, multi-side-blocked sites where lesser receivers drift to float. The 5th-generation Ultra-IMU gives you 3 cm tilt-compensated accuracy out to 60° with no initialization and no bubble — pick it up, lean it in, take the shot. It's immune to magnetic interference, so a rebar cage or a steel fence won't throw your tilt off. Why surveyors choose the i76 StellaX GNSS chip — 1,892 channels, all constellations, stable fixes in canopy and urban canyon Calibration-free tilt — 3 cm accuracy up to 60°, no init, no leveling, no magnetic drift Dual-camera visual + CAD AR stakeout — walk to points instead of reading numbers 8 mm + 1 ppm RTK, fix in under 10 seconds, > 99.9% reliability All-day power — up to 17 h RTK rover, 10 h visual stakeout, 22 h static Field-tough — IP68, IK08, 2 m pole-drop, sapphire lenses, −40 °C to +65 °C 450 g, palm-sized — 40% lighter than a standard rover, half the case volume Built for real survey work The i76 suits the full range of professional positioning: legal and cadastral surveys, boundary and property retracement, topographic and detail surveys, control networks, construction layout and stakeout, as-built verification, utility and asset locating, and GIS field data collection. With our own RTK correction network and NTRIP support, you can be fixed and collecting within minutes of stepping out of the truck — no base setup required on most jobs across our Alberta coverage.
