BT160 63 in. Aluminum Contractors' Tripod

5 stars all the way, actually 6 stars be better. Just picking this up, can feel the quality, hard to describe but light years better than the $40-70 tripods found everywhere, not even close. Super rigid when open, no hokey lame balancing, has 2 bubble level circle windows, 1 for the tripod, the other for the rotating pad where the laser level sits. The up/down crank works excellent, smooth with good metal grind on the gear teeth. Liked this so much gave away my other tripod for camera/ laser level use. If this is a negative, is one, this sadly does not come with a carry case or bag. Also, no instructions included either. But this is pretty self-explanatory. Thanks Bosch for a wonderful tripod.

So easy to use. Stable accessory for my Bosch laser level. Quality product b

This is top quality but I wanted it for my Bosch 18v work light, I think the tripod is made for leveling tools. It does work for the light but those batteries are heavy. The tightening knobs don't hold the light and it flops to one side.

Great product and fits my laser level perfectly!

I purchased this to use with a DeWalt DCE34030 laser level. Originally purchased the recommended Dewalt tripod which doesn't have an elevator pedestal. Pain in the butt to adjust horizontal level line up and down. This Bosch unit works great. Much easier to adjust height of laser line. I saw that some people had issues with locking down the pedestal. Using the crank handle and shaft collar I was able to secure the pedestal in place. I like the removable rubber pads on the tripod legs. They grip well on smooth floor surfaces unlike the DeWalt. The only thing I wish Bosch would have incorporated into this tripod is a built in spirit level in the pedestal. Otherwise I am very happy with this purchase.

This is a great stand for the price. I think it’s getting bad reviews because people are confused about a few things: 1. This is a tool stand. It’s not really for cameras. While it will work ok with something small like an iPhone or a GoPro (you need the right attachment), it’s not designed for range of motion or to be held at awkward angles, it’s designed to be set up flat, locked in place, and then fine adjusted for height. If you are looking for a camera stand, you will find this product has the wrong features for that application. 2. Since this is not a full-range, ball-bearing style headmount, there is an individual tightening pin for everything, INCLUDING THE HANDLE WHICH ROTATES TO TIGHTEN FORWARD/BACKWARD PITCH. I almost returned it over this, and even though it shows you on the side of the box (duh), I saw photos of tipped cameras so I’m not the only one who missed it. Familiarize yourself with what tightens what and only loosen what you are adjusting. Of course, it’s not going to be sturdy if you forget to tighten all of the pins. 3. It’s a $30 stand. I am more than happy and it exceeded my expectations as a new homeowner getting deeper into DIY (the listed height doesn’t include the elevator, which gives you another 14” or so, omni-directional mini bubble-level tells you if the floor is off), but it does contain plastic parts such as the elevator crank and the leg locks that I wouldn’t consider heavy-duty. While they don’t feel chincy and cheap, if I were a contractor I wouldn’t throw this in the back of my truck with a bunch of other tools and expect it to hold up. If you’re using this for its intended purpose, it works great and is easy to fold and store. Pros and photographers will regret cutting corners here.

Easy to set up very stable fits all of my tools great adjustments easy to set up had my last one for four years stolen from jobsite so had to replace bought two this time

It's a Bosch

Valued for money.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this tripod. It is solidly designed and built and everything functions smoothly. It has enough mass to stand firmly, yet is light enough to pack around. A very good value. As with most similar tripods, it has a 5/8-11 male threaded fitting. I bought an adapter from Amazon so that I could also use equipment with a 1/4-20 female connection. Very happy with this purchase.

I was searching for a reasonably priced Tripod that can elevate and extend beyond your typical units. This Bosch unit does just that and is priced well. It’s manufactured well not cheaply constructed as are others. I think its a good value for the price and I’m certain I will get good performance and long life from this Tripod.

Incredibly sturdy. I've taken off the carrying strap as it makes clamping one of the legs very awkward.

Bir çok kez tripot almak ve fazla para vermek istememişimdir. Ancak araştırdığımda çok marka makul fiyat olsada kalitelerini beğenmediğimden dolayı almamıştım. sonuç olarak profesyonel amaçla kullanmayacağım. BOSCH markasına olan inancımdan fiyat dengeside bana uyduğundan hemen sipariş ettim. Ürün çok hızlı 1 günde teslim edildi. Ürün gerçekten fiyatına göre çok kaliteli ve sağlam görünüyor. Malzeme kalitesi tatmin edici seviyede. Kullanacağım alan telefon veya gopro bağlayarak time laps vs. gibi çekimlerde kullanmak..
