For professional reparation, calibration or for buying your surveying equipement. Please also visit the webshop with old and new instruments!

GSI-Opticals is a small one-man company in the south of The Netherlands, but it is large in its passion for and experience with surveying equipement. It is owned by Guy Paone who collects, repairs and calibrates instruments like levels and theodolites for clients all over the world. Guy Paone started his 'hobby' during his study to become a surveyor and a GPS operator at the BOB, engineering office Zondag in Bruchem (the Netherlands). His earlier year at a watch vocational school and his many years of experience in the field of construction helps him daily with difficult repairs and calibrations.

 

Webshop and reparation
GSI-Opticals has a nice collection of (old and new) levels, theodolites, total stations and construction lasers. Some of them are for sale in the webshop on this website.

 

Buying old instruments from all over the world, Guy Paone has found out that some of them were not working anymore. But that doesn't stop Guy Paone; it only challenges him to (learn to) repair them. Simply by trying, searching for information and learning from others. 
He is always on the hunt for spare parts: sometimes he uses an instrument which can not be repaired as a donor and sometimes he makes mechanical parts himself. That means that the instruments on this webshop are all in good working condition!

Calibration
The instruments that GSI-Opticals sells or repairs, are also being calibrated before sending them back to their owner. Guy Paone uses various professional and reliable collimators for the calibration: collimators from Zeiss, Brunson or Moller Wedel. But you can also send your own instruments to GSI-Opticals to have them calibrated. Prices for calibration are starting at 40 euros and more. The exact price depends on the particular instrument and comes with additional costs for cleaning, when required, and also with the costs for package and sending.
