In geophysical exploration, the "human element" and the "technical element" are equally vulnerable to extreme heat. A dedicated observation tent serves as a critical thermal buffer. High temperatures in desert or tropical environments can cause sensitive instrumentation - such as seismographs, magnetometers, or gravimeters - to drift or fail entirely. By providing a shaded, ventilated space, these tents ensure that equipment operates within its specified thermal range, maintaining data integrity and preventing costly hardware damage.

Beyond equipment protection, the tent is a vital operational hub for personnel. Working under direct solar radiation significantly increases the risk of heat exhaustion and cognitive errors. A geophysical tent offers a controlled environment where observers can monitor incoming data on glare-free screens and manage complex deployments without the physical strain of constant sun exposure.

Our tent has an aluminum frame and the entire structure is made of non-magnetic materials, which can be easily folded. Usage of the white folding nonmagnetic tent is highly recommended for magnetic D/I field observations exposed to direct sunlight. It can be set up by two people in 3 minutes.

Key features:

• Floor area: 300 × 300 cm
• Adjustable side height: 208 - 238 cm
• Adjustable entrance height: 173 - 203 cm
• Ridge height (peak height): 308 - 338 cm
• Roof tarpaulin material (Polyester 700, waterproof)
• Aluminum scissor frame
• Height-adjustable fixing mechanism
• Vertical aluminum legs (approx. 32 × 32 mm)
• Weight: 19.8 kg

Diagonal eyepiece is necessary for sun (or star) observation or magnetic measurement on low latitudes when during inclination measurement the telescope is vertical or nearly vertical. In this position diagonal eyepiece ensures comfortable way to read the microscope.

For repeat station measurement or other field use a nonmagnetic tripod is necessary. Mingeo produces nonmagnetic tripod as well.
