Abstract
Embodiments provide for a geodetic assembly () for land surveying. The geodetic assembly () may include a first element () including a first magnetic unit () and a second element () including a second magnetic unit (). The second element may be part of a support structure () of the geodetic assembly and is adapted to mate with the first element for supporting a geodetic device (), the first element being attached to the geodetic device (or vice versa). The second magnetic unit is arranged to interact with the first magnetic unit for locking or unlocking the first element on the support structure. Each of the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit is divided in a plurality of regions (--) arranged in a circular manner such that two adjacent regions have magnetic poles of opposite polarities. The geodetic assembly may further comprise at least one magnetic shield () for shielding the geodetic device, or a magnetically sensitive device () arranged at the support structure, from the first magnetic unit and the second magnetic unit.
