Huepar 12 Ft./3.7m Telescoping Pole with 1/4-Inch by 20-Inch Laser Mount for Rotary and Line Laser Level, Adjustable Telescoping Pole with Tripod - 5/8"-11 Adapter Nut Included LP36

Bon trépied, bien fait, vas tres haut. Seul bémol, serait peut être la solidité des trois pattes

A few months ago I ordered the Huepar 3D Green Beam Self-Leveling Laser Level 3x360. Really nice unit, but I found out trying to get it to an exact height could be a challenge, the magnet on the laser bracket is very helpful, but you don't always have a magnetic surface. I tried my camera tripod, and that worked, but only for about 5ft in height. I mainly use the laser for shelves, pictures and sometimes need to have it a little higher than my camera tripod will go. Then I saw this Telescoping Pole that can work up to 12 foot. After checking out the photos and info, I decided to give this a try. I must say, it is nice and works great. I will describe the best I can. It came in a nice carry bag, this way you can keep all parts together. All the extension poles are made of aluminum, that makes it lightweight and you don't have to worry about rust. Each pole has standard and metric markings, 1/4 inch and 5mm. When you screw the poles together, the marks line up. The tripod is much like a camera tripod, the legs can be extended and adjusted for uneven surfaces. There is also a screw at the top to tighten the stand to the pole, no need to super tighten it, and a bubble level to see when you have the stand level. The bottom pole has a spring and a foot piece to push down on, this is after you select the correct amount of poles for the height needed and use the length adjustment on the bottom pole. Hold the yellow part of the bottom pole in one hand, and the footstep part in the other hand and give a slight twist to unlock the pole to pull out for adjustment, then slight twist to retighten. I mention these things as there were no instructions included. The part that slides onto the pole to hold the laser has a lever to lock it too the pole, The one slight issue I saw with this is when the lever was out, ready to install on the pole, you either had to stick you finger in the bracket to push back the plastic piece that locks it to the pole or when putting it on the pole, you have to tilt the bracket and catch the plastic piece on the pole first. With it unlocked, it should slide straight down on the pole, but this is not happening on the one I have, they could use a spring to pull that piece back to make it work better, or, once you have the bottom pole in the tripod, then put the next pole thru this bracket from the top, it will slide through with ease. Once you have the bracket on the pole, it has a fine adjust, there is a lock screw on the side, be sure this is loose before turning the adjustment, once adjusted to the height, just slightly tighten the lock screw, DO NOT CRANK IT DOWN. There is a top piece to put on the top pole that will rest on the ceiling, but beware, this will do no good on a lay-in ceiling, and if you are using it on popcorn ceiling, it could knock some of that off, so you may want to put the stand in a doorway instead. Overall, for me, this stand should take care of almost anything you need, it is light, portable, easy to put together. I have seen other poles that did not have the tripod, without a tripod, you would be limited to places you could use a laser.

The mounting clamp fits 1” pvc, although it is a bit tight. It would work better if you filed out the hole a little wider or sanded down the pvc pipe. I ended up using a tension curtain rod instead. The brand was “Ginbel Direct”. The mounting clamp fits perfectly on this and clamps tightly.

Inexpensive, accurate and precise. Value is high. Fits the need. Could be brighter as some others are but they're more expensive. Usefull makes work faster with less errors. Case makes things tidy and less dusty.

Great item!
