So the explanation on how to get a "self-leveling" laser level, is to place it on something that's already level. What if the only place that you can put the level on, isn't level to start, such as placing it on a ladder step that's on an uneven floor? Will the self leveling level, level itself out so anything placed along that line is level, or will it be unlevel and parallel with the floor that's uneven also?
Luser1973, you are correct but that is for standard nonmoving laser levels. This one has a balanced internal laser that sways + and - within the allowed four degrees...it will self level. If you have the it leaning more to left or right the laser cannot self level. Just think of the center or a seesaw...the center of the laser is the seesaw pivot point. The laser line is created from that center. If the laser housing is more than the allowed 4 degrees + or - , just like a seesaw...the laser pivot point will touch the laser housing not allowing movement.
The trouble I've run into is when I screw the baseplate into the level it doesn't sit flush tight against the bottom of the level and so there is some play in it. Then when I lock it into the tripod the level can rock back and forth because the baseplate isn't flush. Tried two different tripods, now wondering if it is the level or is that just how lasers normally sit on a tripod as long as it self levels. First laser level ever owned.
Hi, i wish to measure a piece of land in outdoor farm field (Say something like 15×15meter) Plz inform me... As how to use laser with tripod to do this! Regards
I'd like to see you post about circuit requirements for 50 amp level 2 car charger. I am hearing conflicting info for hardwire installation - 70 amp / #4 wire looks like code for load, but one charger vendor and some others say 60 amp #6 is sufficient because it is "like a hardwired welder" ??? Chargepoint has table of requirements saying 70 - 80 amps, but they actually make their unit with lugs that cannot be used for anything bigger than #6 (?).
also some chargers will have better overload protection than others, different charging profiles, etc... buy a quality one! it also depends on what you're charging: does it take longer than 3 hours at max amps?
Can u make a video on "how not to get caught taking a nap as ur apprentice does all the work?"
LOL! I came back from Home Depot once and one of my workers was asleep in a closet!
@@SparkyChannel LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
of course every tripod manufacturer makes their quick release different. wonder if any sell extra mounting shoes for people with multiple devices.
Yes, this tripod has 2 extra mounting shoes for $10: Harwerrel Quick Release Plate QR Plate Replacement for Amazon Basics 60" Tripod Velbon CX-444 CX-888 CX-460 CX-460mini CX-470 CX-570 CX-690 DF-50 Sony VCT-D580RM VCT-D680RM VCT-R640 (Pack of 2): Amazon affiliate link: amzn.to/3pb31kn

Perhaps the piece that screws into your camera is loose.
Thanks, Good morning Bill 😎🛠️😎🛠️😎

You bet!
Amazing video! Thank you
Thank you! Now... how to have the tripod not obscuring the floor lines? 🤔

Nice explanation Sparky.
Thanks Gary!
Good morning Bill,thanks for the video 👍
My pleasure, thanks Charles!
Bill between the Milwaukee Tripod and this Amazon basics tripod which would you choose?
Amazon Basics because it has a crank and it's much cheaper.

depends on what you're feeding: if the charger is hardmounted on the wall, vs a plug&cord one...
also some chargers will have better overload protection than others, different charging profiles, etc...
buy a quality one!
it also depends on what you're charging: does it take longer than 3 hours at max amps?
that "70-80" amps might just be a peak load. it's worth getting your local electrician involved!
Great video 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙌
What are the other knobs for, the one that looks like a wing nut?
I'd like to buy a good tripod that fits in my packout box for my Milwaukee laser.
Great video.
Thanks
Thanks Tommy!
Good morning sparky, I first
Good afternoon! Congrats!
@@SparkyChannel thank you sparky
still fiddly, and isn't there tripods with fine adjustment for the legs?
Not that I know of.
👍🏻🍻🍺👍🏻
Cheers from San Diego!
