BOSCH BT160 63 in. Aluminum Contractors' Tripod

Very sturdy and well made. Excellent value. I have a telescope mounted on it.

I was very happy to see how well it was built it holds my laser quite well the height adjustment works as advertised I was concerned about the height for the lowest setting if you spread the legs you can get it down to about 30 inches off the floor very happy with this product I purchased it for my M12 Milwaukee laser which fits wonderfully it also works for my LL 500 can't say enough good things about this product little spendy but worth the money

This is a great stand for the price. I think it’s getting bad reviews because people are confused about a few things:1. This is a tool stand. It’s not really for cameras. While it will work ok with something small like an iPhone or a GoPro (you need the right attachment), it’s not designed for range of motion or to be held at awkward angles, it’s designed to be set up flat, locked in place, and then fine adjusted for height. If you are looking for a camera stand, you will find this product has the wrong features for that application.2. Since this is not a full-range, ball-bearing style headmount, there is an individual tightening pin for everything, INCLUDING THE HANDLE WHICH ROTATES TO TIGHTEN FORWARD/BACKWARD PITCH. I almost returned it over this, and even though it shows you on the side of the box (duh), I saw photos of tipped cameras so I’m not the only one who missed it. Familiarize yourself with what tightens what and only loosen what you are adjusting. Of course, it’s not going to be sturdy if you forget to tighten all of the pins.3. It’s a $30 stand. I am more than happy and it exceeded my expectations as a new homeowner getting deeper into DIY (the listed height doesn’t include the elevator, which gives you another 14” or so, omni-directional mini bubble-level tells you if the floor is off), but it does contain plastic parts such as the elevator crank and the leg locks that I wouldn’t consider heavy-duty. While they don’t feel chincy and cheap, if I were a contractor I wouldn’t throw this in the back of my truck with a bunch of other tools and expect it to hold up.If you’re using this for its intended purpose, it works great and is easy to fold and store. Pros and photographers will regret cutting corners here.

Tripod is versatile to work with, light weight and durable. Thia ia definitely a good buy, esp. for small and start-up construction comoany and/or can be used for home renovations and won't bream the bank.A smart item to buy for personal and work use.

I went in search of a tripod for a laser level that I use in contracting services. I did lots of research and chose this one based on two things:1. The other option in this price range (from PLS) had reviews that indicated the device would wobble at full Extention.2. I use the Bosch Gravity Rise saw stands and they are SOLID. (Way better and more durable than the dewalt ones I had before).Even with the past positive experiences with Bosch, when I paid $130 for this I expected it to be fairly flimsy. I chose to accept that this might be the case due to the price point I wanted to stick to: under $150.When I got it though, this thing shocked me! I could immediately tell that this thing was just as sturdy as my saw stands.So, I put it to the test.I brought it to a job site where I’m building a second floor deck. I had it nearly fully extended and my laser level was still able to get to a still level point even on a windy day.UPDATE 12/27/2018: still solid. Works well. Windy days can be a pain when fully extended, but it still functions enough even then.

Very easy to use and Perfect tool for work.

Works great

This a quality tri pod. I wish went a little higher though
