This is an excellent choice for routine water measurements in crop plants and light research in plants with little to moderate water stress. For extensive research projects you might consider a Model 1000 or Model 1505D due to the larger range of operating pressure.
The instrument has a bail-spring handle for carrying and comes complete with a shoulder strap to lighten the load in the field. It has 5 tie-down rings for mounting to ATV or other transportation. The instrument comes complete with light weight aluminum nitrogen cylinder (20 cubic foot) that is secured with 2 inch heavy duty Velcro straps and can be quickly replaced with a full cylinder. This cylinder can easily be transfilled from a large nitrogen cylinder as shown here.
