I first bought a telescoping pole/mount to re-tape the 30 year old sagging drywall in my garage with a matching one Huepar 3D Laser. I already have tripods that I could use. But these are exactly the reasons why this tripod stands out. The tripod is fixed in the desired position from floor to ceiling by a spring. If not I would have knocked it over a few times. The section of garage ceiling near the garage door is lower than the rest of the garage. It was easy to unscrew part of the telescopic rod to work with. Old drywall was fastened with protruding nails. I replaced them and added screws. I put the tape measure on the floor. Then I moved a telescoping rod to each 16 inch mark on the tape measure to insert screws into that laser line. It was very easy to move the telescoping pole as it is lightweight and has a relatively small base that didn't get in the way of items that couldn't be taken out of the garage. I had to realign the tracks and garage door chain. In this case the laser has to pass 3 points. With my normal tripods I would have to constantly move the base. But this tripod has a trick. Get the base in general position. Then rotate and adjust the bracket and the laser at the same time until the laser cuts 3 points. It really saved time. To do this for the first time, you need to think a little. They come automatically from muscle memory. I had to put in a new garage door. I think I'm good at assembling doors. But I never know if I did it perfectly. Using this tripod with a 3D laser made it easy. The tripod is height-adjustable over a wide range. This way I could easily verify that every aspect of the door frame was perfectly aligned. The result was a door that opened and closed tightly with minimal effort. Now I want to outweigh all other doors. I highly recommend this item. I think it's a good price and solid construction for home use.
