a special type of theodolite is needed, often shots are taken from helicopters or low flying planes. a German firm ( Wilde-Zeiss ) made a special theodolite for Dam-Deformation observation and survey work. this was an expensive instrument as it is far easier to make lenses, reflex mirrors, etc to work with straight axes and angles of approach, etc.
