BOSCH BT160 63 in. Aluminum Contractors' Tripod

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

Exactly as described. Really good quality tripod, it feels sturdy and durable. Really easy to use.

Very sturdy and well made. Excellent value. I have a telescope mounted on it.

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.

I was very happy to see how well it was built it holds my laser quite well the height adjustment works as advertised I was concerned about the height for the lowest setting if you spread the legs you can get it down to about 30 inches off the floor very happy with this product I purchased it for my M12 Milwaukee laser which fits wonderfully it also works for my LL 500 can't say enough good things about this product little spendy but worth the money

Purchased for use with a Bosch GLL50 -20G. Discovered that the BT300 HD tripod has only a 5/8 -11 tripod thread and the GLL50 - 20G has only a 1/4 inch threading mount. The two are not compatible. I should have carefully read the compatibility technical data before purchasing. The tripod is the very high quality. It is light weight but also very sturdy. The 110" height extension is impressive. I hope to find a bracket that will enable my laser so that I can keep this high quality tripod.

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.
