Works well for an un-intended use.
I actually purchased this to use for photography. I use a very large, antique camera. It uses film that is 8"x10" so that means a big camera. It's not all tight and compact, it's a monorail style with a front and a back portion on a rail, perched on top of a cast iron clamp of sorts. Not exactly light. It took a bit of work to mount my camera as it requires a 1/4" bold for mounting instead of the 5/8" that this comes with, but it was no problem. If this can hold my huge camera, it can hold whatever stuff you want to put on it. In the photo, the tripod starts below the light colored metal with the knob. The top part of the tripod is metal if I'm not mistaken; the black part above the blue section. I'm also happy that it's not the incredible gaudy neon yellow or orange...but being called a contractor's tripod, I'm guessing the user might not be surveying around roadways where the extra visibility is important.

    Great tripod for 18v LED light
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my 18v LED light to use at night setting up in the dark camping or working on outdoor house stuff.

      The tri-pod is of Bosche's usual high quality. Ht adjusts easily and once "toed" into the ground, provides a stable base for my optical builder's level. It's light weight and with the included shoulder strap, easy to carry. An extra star for the great cust. support as I provided the wrong address, on the delivery day, she got ahold of the delivery company's driver and fixed it. Any other online seller and I would have been screwed for weeks. Bravo!

        Great tripod for the price.
        It seems solidly built FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE. I have even used it for mounting an old 20-sec survey transit with no shake when feet are solidly pushed into turf. (on paving, not so much; aluminum tripods transmit vibration more than wood). These sell for much less than a heavy wood survey tripod which, in my opinion, makes this model perfect for the topographic surveys I use it for. It's even got a shoulder strap! For all of those looking for thread-size adapters...just google "5/8-11 to 1/4-20 adapter" and several should pop up. With one of those AND a 1/4-20 to 3/8-16 adapter bushing (available from camera suppliers for a couple bucks) you can mount most 3-Way Heads from a camera tripod. That makes for super-steady shots with long lenses. I plan on buying a second one of these in the near future.

          It seems well built and I like the fact that you can move the instrument around a bit on top of the tripod to get the plum bob right over the mark. Good and high also.Dave

          Very nice tripod, easy to adjust and stable. Smaller levels will require an adapter to connect, which I think should come with the tripod, especially considering the price. Over all, it's very nice

          I had a good tripod until our UPS driver backed over it. I waited as long as I could before purchasing a new one. I am starting a new addition on our house and it was time to get a new tripod. I have not actually used it yet, but I have inspected it closely. I am very pleased with the construction of the tripod. It has all the features of my previous high dollar tripod plus a few extra plus it has some added features that my previous tripod did not have. The shoulder strap looks like it will be very handy for moving from one position to another. The adjustable legs seem to work really well. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. I would buy it again if UPS runs over this one.
