If you have a laser, you need it!

A few months ago I ordered a Huepar 3D Green Beam 3x360 self-leveling laser. Really good device but I found setting it to the exact height can be a problem, the magnet on the laser arm is very useful but you don't always have a magnetic surface. I tried my camera tripod and it worked, but only at about 5ft. I mainly use the laser for shelving, pictures and sometimes it needs to be a bit higher than my camera tripod fits. Then I saw this telescopic pole that can work up to 12 feet. After looking at the photos and information I decided to give it a try. I have to say it's beautiful and works great. I will describe as best I can. It came in a nice carrying case so you can keep all the pieces together. All extensions are made of aluminum, which makes them lightweight and you don't have to worry about rusting. Each rod has standard and metric markings, 1/4" and 5mm. When you twist the rods together, the markings align. A tripod is very similar to a camera tripod, its legs can be extended and adjusted to accommodate uneven surfaces. It there is also a screw on top to screw the stand to the stand without over tightening and a spirit level to see when you have the stand level.The bottom bar has a spring and brace that can be pushed down after selecting the correct number of bars for the required height and using the length adjuster on the lower bar Hold the yellow part of the lower bar in one hand and the footrest part in the other hand and rotate slightly to unlock the rod to pull it out for adjustment, then twist slightly to tighten again.I mention these things because there are no instructions included were. The part that fits over the pole to hold the laser has a lever to secure it and the pole. The only minor issue I noticed was when the lever was released and ready to install. on a bar you either had to stick your finger in the strut to push back the plastic piece that attaches it to the bar, or when you put it on the bar you had to tilt the strut and catch the plastic piece on the bar first. When unlocked it should slide right down the rod but that doesn't happen with the one I have, you can use a spring to pull this part back to make it work better or once you have the bottom rod in the tripod guide Put the next pole through this bracket from above, it goes through easily. If you have the bracket on the stand, it has fine adjustment, there is a locking screw on the side, make sure it is loose before turning the adjustment, after adjusting the height, tighten the locking screw slightly, tighten not DOWN at it. There is a panel that can be placed on the top support that rests on the ceiling but beware this will not help with a false ceiling and if you use them on a popcorn ceiling some of them could fall off. , so you can place the stand in a doorway instead. Overall for me this stand should take care of pretty much everything you need, it's lightweight, portable and easy to assemble. I've seen other milestones that didn't have a tripod, without a tripod you would be limited to places where you could use the laser.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
