This tripod works for me. It is solid, easy to adjust and has a hanger for a plumb bob so you can position it squarely over a monument. Any experienced home improvement person will enjoy this unit.

unlike most items today this tripod comes out of the box completely assembled and ready to use. Less than 10 minutes after opening the box I had my laser level mounted on it, leveled, and in use. One thing that i did not expect was that there is no stopping point for the legs (meaning they will fold all the way out if you want). Thus allowing you to set the tripod fairly low to the ground. The leg adjustment locks are extemely easy to use and the entire unit seems to be made very durable.

I attached an 11-lbs Celestron C130 telescope on it with an iOptron go-to controller. The total weight is at least 13 lbs. Works better than the original go-to controller tripod and adjusts very easily. Put 3 small and cheap level indicators on each leg to level the tripod and you have a very nice piece of equipment for a good price. I am happy with it and the whole setup looks very professional.

Tripod is ideal for the purpose claimed - it is well-made, sturdy, and very stable in use. No hesitation recommending this to a friend.

I been using a camara tripod but they are not very rugged and I was tired of babying it. So I got a deal on this unit even though I'm not Dewalts biggest fan.

Super super stuff. My laser is a cheaper mass market unit and I did need the thread adapter (5 extra bucks).

The legs only need to be in the ballpark which takes between 20-30 seconds. Even my cheap laser has over 2 feet of adjustment. If you can't eyeball within 2 feet then either more money needs to be spent (30 dollar Kraftsman in my case) or hire it done.

I bought this as an accessory for my Dewalt rotary laser to use in setting forms for concrete slabs. This is a well built tripod and the price was good. I priced another brand that was at Home Depot and it was flimsy and cost a few dollars more. I ordered this one from Amazon and was quite pleased with it.

This tripod works perfect with every laser I've used. For those who don't know how to use a laser it would be a pain to adjust the laser beam up and down and up and down...trying to get the laser in a certain spot.
The tripod holds the laser securely and it does a great job. I just got my own after using my boss' for two years. Mine has a little too much grease on the leg clamps and releases if I am not careful. I'm sure that will correct itself when the excess grease is gone.

I ordered the DW 0736 tripod and the DW087 Laser. I didn't read the fine print well enough so I have a tripot with 5/8 inch 11 treaded rod and 1/4 by 20 female tread on the laser. If you order this combination you need to also order and adapter which Dewalt in their infinate wisdon doesn't seem to make. The tripod is nice, just would have been better off buyng a camera tripod.

I bought this tripod along with the 18n volt rotary laser. i was getting ready to install a chair rail and wasted a good 1/2 hour to 45 min trying to line up the right hieght with the laser.i would recommend buying an elevator tipod .

I was pleased with the timeliness of delivery. Minimal damage to packaging.
