Review on DEWALT DW0881T Laser Tripod Tilting by Marcus Rash

Revainrating 2 out of 5

not what I expected from Dewalt

The tripod looks good, but functionally it leaves a lot of room for improvement. The leg clamps aren't too tight, but they're firm enough to hold a light load (for now, anyway). The turret vial is far from calibrated compared to the tripod vial. If the tripod bubble is set exactly on center and the head bubble is aligned on center, a 360 degree head rotation will show that the head is not rotating properly. When rotated 180 degrees, the head is level with a full bladder out and 1/4 of the bladder to the side. Turning it back to its original position will level the bubble (indicating that the crown has returned to its original position and showing the bubble level). So it's not very accurate in that regard, but it's perfectly fine for use with a self-leveling laser level. I would not recommend it if great accuracy is required. The mounting screw is fairly short and only captures a few turns of the Dewalt laser level I purchased with it. One would expect the connection between the Dewalt level and the tripod to be more reliable.

Pros
  • Laser tripod with tilting head and built-in bubble level
Cons
  • No.
