Axis North Seeking Gyroscopes
Mount Sopris Instruments is a proud distributor and supporter of Axis Mining Technology gyroscopes in the United States. We rent and sell a wide range of their specialty North Seeking Champ gyros listed below. Gyros can be used as memory tools on a drill rig or as a wireline tool connected to standard logging cable. Please don’t hesitate to Contact Us to set up a budget for rental or discuss a purchase.
The Champ Gyro™ is an innovative North Seeking solid state gyro system that allows users to take high accuracy singleshot, multishot or orientation measurements at the push of a button
It’s tough, reliable, requires no starting azimuth and is ready to survey within minutes. The Champ Gyro offers the ultimate in simplicity, performance and productivity.
At surface, the user initializes the Champ Gyro via the tablet. Downhole, singleshot or multishot measurements are taken at desired depths. On return to surface, data is downloaded via high speed wireless communication and is immediately accessible without any need for post processing or interpretation.
Run the Champ Gyro on wireline or in the Champ OSA™ (Overshot Assembly) which allows a survey to be taken each time you pull core, thus greatly reducing rig downtime associated with conventional surveys.
The Champ Gyro has a robust design capable of performing surveys for both diamond and RC holes in both surface and underground environments.
Housed in 36 mm (1.41 in.) running gear the Champ Gyro measures 1.64 meters (5.38 ft) long and weighs less than 7 kg (15.43 lbs). Battery modules have a 15 hour life and with two supplied as standard you will never run short on power.
FEATURES
- Memory North Seeking
- Singleshot, Multishot & Orientation

The Champ OSA™ (Overshot Assembly) is unique running gear which allows you to run a Champ Gyro™ survey as you retrieve a core sample
This innovative approach eliminates the need for a separate survey run. Survey every time you pull core with Champ Gyro™ in a Champ OSA™
FEATURES
- Significantly increases drilling productivity
- Integrates with any standard overshot and can be run in rod sizes from BQ to PQ
- Allows for wireless data download at surface
- Enables the driller to confidently run surveys without consuming setup procedures.

The Champ Pilot is a continuous solid state gyro system that allows users to rapidly survey drill-holes with confidence
Capable of survey speeds of up to 200 m (656 ft) per minute utilizing Axis’ onPoint™ unique Adaptive Roll Technology, the next generation Champ Pilot offers un-paralleled productivity and precision.
The next generation Champ Pilot’s features and mode of operation, allows operators greater flexibility to survey a wider range of drillholes without complicated and time consuming setup procedures or deployment techniques.
Axis’ onPoint™ proprietary Adaptive Roll Technology supports surveying continuously on rods, pump in or at high speed on cable, reducing rig time associated with conventional surveys by up to 75%*.
Depth stations can be assigned manually or wirelessly via AMT’s Electronic Depth Counter. Housed in 36 mm (1.41 in.) running gear, the Champ Pilot measures 1.64 meters (5.38 ft) long and weighs less than 7 kg (15.43 lbs). Battery modules have a 15 hour life and with two supplied as standard you will never run short on power.
Features
- Memory Solid State
- Power Up & Run
- High Speed Continuous Operation
- onPoint™ Adaptive Roll Technology
- Reduce Survey Time by 75%*

Reliability, Simplicity & Performance. Surface readout and memory capability on a unique solid state North Seeking platform.
The next generation Champ Gyro SRO offers high speed continuous survey capability at speeds of up to 200 m (656 ft) per minute as well as singleshot, multishot or orientation modes of operation.
Operations can be run in surface readout or memory mode, providing unprecedented flexibility to survey the widest range of applications. A robust intelligent design, low maintenance and cost of repair ensures the SRO’s cost of ownership is the lowest in the industry.
As with all Axis technology, it’s remarkably simple to operate. Run on E-line, the Champ Gyro SRO provides real time North Seeking gyro data to any surface PC or download data acquired in memory mode via high speed wireless communication.
Once powered up the probe requires less than 60 seconds to warm up before its ready to be run downhole. A 5 min in-hole gyrocompass is all that is required prior to running in high speed continuous mode.
Axis’ onPoint™ proprietary Adaptive Roll Technology offers high roll tolerance and surveying speeds up to 200m (656 ft) per min. Alternatively, North Seeking singleshot, multishot or orientation measurements can be taken as and when required. Running on cable, encoder depth (e-line or memory) is automatically integrated with azimuth and inclination data throughout the survey.
SRO can be used confidently to run on rods horizontal, pump in surveys, orientation of motor or wedges and much more. This is the only gyro available for purchase fro Axis Mining Technology.
