6 Steps to Learn How to Set Up a Tripod and Install the Level

Setting up a tripod is an essential part of using a laser level to achieve accurate and precise measurements in construction or home improvement projects. While it may seem like a simple task, there are a few crucial steps to follow to ensure the tripod is set up correctly.

Materials:

• Telescopic Rod Section*4 (Actually, I don't think all of them are need to be used.)
• Tail Rod*1(With spring loaded base)
• Top Ceiling Skid Plate*1
• Height Adjustable Bracket*1
• Screw Adapter*1
• Adjustable Stable Tripod*1

• Open the three latches of the tripod to extend the legs
• Pull out the extension rod
• Re-lock the latches to secure the legs in place

• Pass the Tail Rod through the hole in the middle of the bottom of the tripod
• Make sure it is securely in place

I saw someone would combine the rods firstly instead of pass it to tripod. I don't think it is a good idea.

• Pass one of the Telescopic Rod Sections through the hole of the Height Adjustable Bracket
• Pull and lock the trigger in the Height Adjustable Bracket to secure the rod section in place

• Take one of the Telescopic Rod Sections to assemble the top fittings together
• Splice the Telescopic Rod Section together with other parts in the specified order
• The strut combined with the top accessories is the top
• The strut combined with the Height Adjustable Bracket is the middle part
• The part combined with the pedal strut and the tripod is the bottom

Sometimes, the rods will be hard to be tighten and loosen. I will consider to use a dry lube such as WD-40 SPECIALIST DRY LUBE with PTFE on the threads.

• Loosen the locking device of the foot support rod and pull out the extension rod
• Use the foot to push the combined support rod up and down
• Re-lock the locking device to complete the assembly

• Install the level on the Height Adjustable Bracket according to the bottom screw port of the level and the adapter
• Turn on the laser level and project the laser line on the wall
• Adjust the height from the Height Adjustable Bracket to the laser line according to the height of the measured laser line on the wall
• Use the fine adjustment function on the Height Adjustable Bracket if necessary, and refer to the silk-printed scale on the support rod as a reference for fine adjustment

Actually, I think the camera can be installed with it as well. Just need a special plate and remove one or two rods.
