The M2BASE is a kit and complete solution that allows to convert the Emlid Reach M2 module into a Multiband Base Station Receiver, screwable to any universal tripod for GNSS receivers. It is a modular system that allows easy insertion of the Reach M2 and a LoRa Radio (optional for multi-band RTK logging) using routed cabling so that the Reach M2 can be plugged in and properly powered. The kit allows the Reach M2 to be easily attached and removed.
