Bosch Telescopic Rod TP 320 (Adjustable Height of 106-320 cm for Fast and Flexible Positioning of Cross line Lasers, in Cardboard Box)

I wasn’t 100% sure about using the pole with non-Bosch lasers as I have a cheap Far East brand. I needn’t have worried as it’s fine and the pole is very easy to assemble and use. No instructions needed. I did need to use a spacing washer (optional) as the mounting screw is slightly longer than the threaded hole in the level and I didn’t want to overtighten. Even without the washer it was fine though. Well made product, functional, easy to use, value for money and perfect for DIY but not professional site use.

It’s great value for the usual Bosch quality. To use it properly make sure you are putting tension on the spring loaded ceiling pad before you lock the tubular sections in place. This will ensure it has a good grip between the floor and ceiling. Have a rough idea of the approximate height you will be using the laser at, and arrange the tubular poles so there is no collar at that height to get in the way of the laser clamp. It’s very compact when retracted at only 1.1m. Insert the thin end of the pole into the storage bag after removing the clamp and ceiling pad. The outer compartment is very useful for storing the two piece clamp and ceiling pad, as well as optional accessories e.g. swivel adapter. The thread on the clamp is 1/4”. I bought a mini ball head swivel adapter to use with this which allows me to point my laser level at the ceiling.

Tripods are great things, as anyone with a photography interest will know. But what they'll also know is how easy it is to trip over one of the legs. It's also not easy to drop a tripod down to near floor level if you need to – it usually means having a mini tripod as well - and I needed to be able to do exactly that recently with some floor tiling. When I bought my Bosch laser, I wanted to be able to have a minimum footprint support with minimal trip risk and the ability move the laser quickly vertically from floor to ceiling; only a pole support offers that. There are many of these on the market but decided to reduce the risk of incompatibility and purchase one from the same manufacturer as the laser (which I purchased elsewhere as it was cheaper and would be delivered faster, Amazon Prime being not the service it once was). I’ve just been using it for a DIY project, and it met my expectations fully. Basically, it’s absolutely fine, although there are a few niggles that are perhaps nit-picking: - It’s made of very lightweight metal which makes it great to transport but means it lacks heft in use. I like my heavy steel acro props which, although cumbersome and heavy, are utterly rock solid when deployed. The Bosch pole is easily disturbed if tapped or bumped, but this is something every model probably has in common. - You can’t mount the laser where the telescopic tighteners are. There’s no way around this and in practice it doesn’t really affect anything, so I’m being pedantic. - The small platform mount at the top is plastic and snaps into place. I can’t help wondering how long that is going to last. - The micro-adjusting platform that comes with the pole only works in one plane. - The clamping and adjustment mount that comes with the laser is far better than the one with the pole, and so I will probably never use the latter (which I paid for). Overall, I’m very happy I bought it and as long as it doesn’t break, I can entirely recommend it to you. If you were thinking of buying a laser for DIY (and you absolutely should) but were thinking of just reusing your camera tripod to save money, think again. Yes that will work for some uses, but not for floor tiling; just buy a pole.

Good value bit of kit for DIY. Bit light and plasticky for anything more demanding, but great for mounting a laser or camera without taking up much floor space. 1/4 inch thread. No quick release on the height adjustment whichdoes feel a bit cheap but it’s a value product not a premium one so can’t fault it for that.

Good but at extremities of length it becomes very wobbly

Good quality product as you would expect from Bosch. However, it is very difficult to set up accurately - there is a lot of messing around to get the level where you want it. For the price I would have liked to see both horizontal and vertical micro adjustment on the clamp. I’ll keep it but it’s probably the most disappointed I have been with a Bosch product.

Decent build quality, lightweight but strong, good carrier case, easy to assemble. Would highly recommend you get a 360 laser so you do not have to swivel to mount and have to realign the level. It does rotate 180-240 degrees no problem. The lock in for the pole is easy to use and the spring load at the top is a fantastic idea. It's a must if you are suspending large ceilings :D

Does exactly what’s it’s supposed to, very secure

Indispensabile per utilizzare correttamente una livella laser. L'asta telescopica è composta da più parti: -asta graduata con 4 snodi e allungabile da 106 a 320 cm (perfetta per uso interno anche con soffitti molto alti). l'ultima parte è a molla e consente di fissare lo strumento in modo molto resistente contro il soffitto. -staffa ad L con attacco 1/4" (tipo delle macchine fotografiche) per collegare livelle di qualsiasi marca. -morsa per fissare la staffa sull'asta all'altezza desiderata. personalmente uso lo strumento in questo modo: -con un metro misuro l'altezza da terra fino al livello desiderato sulla parete dove dovra essere proiettato il fascio laser -posiziono l'asta ad una distanza adeguata in modo che il laser venga proiettato su tutta la parete, mantenendo la componente graduata dalla parte opposta alla parete. - ho segnato sul retro della morsa l'altezza esatta della livella laser da me utilizzata dopo aver montato staffa,morsa e livella. -misuro su asta graduata la stessa altezza e posiziono la morsa utilizzando il segno fatto in precedenza (vedi foto) -successivamente è possibile regolarlo spostando di qualche millimetro allentando la morsa fino a proiettare all'altezza desiderata. fornito anche di custodia capiente che consente di riporre anche la livella ed eventuali supporti. pro: asta lunga, molto robusta e graduata; morsa e staffa molto stabili, attacco a molla consente un fissaggio stabile al soffitto consente l'utilizzo di livelle di altre marche ma con attacco 1/4". Fornito con sacca capiente. contro: se utilizzata con asta molto estesa, potrebbero crearsi delle oscillazioni, anche dovute al lavoro della molla sul soffitto e questo genera leggeri movimenti del laser proiettato. costo abbastanza elevato.

Bra produkt. Mycket användbar, bra kvalitet, precis som beskrivet

Excellent système pour soutenir un laser (j’utilise personnellement un laser WESCO, lavis de soutien est parfaitement compatible). Le produit est bien conçu, robuste et simple d’utilisation. Seul petit bémol : lorsqu’on doit travailler très près du plafond, cela peut être un peu plus compliqué. Toutefois, il existe toujours une solution : on peut inverser le support du laser ou fixer le support sur la dernière section équipée du ressort. Pour le reste, rien à redire. Le système est très pratique et le réglage en hauteur est facile. Il ne faut pas serrer la bague, mais simplement tourner la section de la tige pour qu’elle se bloque correctement, ce qui est vraiment facile. Je ne regrette absolument pas mon achat.

A force que tout mon entourage me répète que le laser est un outil indispensable j'ai passé le pas. Effectivement c'est génial, précis, et l'utilisation est multiple. Mais il y a un mais, je passais systématiquement un temps fou à placer la ligne à la bonne hauteur, malgré deux trépieds différents, c'est toujours trop haut ou trop bas et surtout pas extrêmement pratique à placer. Et c'est là que je découvre cet accessoire indispensable selon moi. Une tige télescopique utilisable dans la plupart des intérieurs (avec un petit ressort intégré pour maintenir une pression constante). Le tout est facile à monter et réglable très facilement, ça prend 2min. Petit inconvénient cependant, la longueur de l'ensemble le rend sensible aux vibrations, et j'ai remarqué que mon laser mettait plus de temps à stabiliser qu'habituellement. Le socle est doté d'une tige filetée standard pour les lasers, donc utilisable avec toute marque. Un must-have pour tout bricoleur averti (pour les professionnels préférez un modèle un petit peu plus robuste pour une utilisation quotidienne).

Ottima asta per me che faccio l'idraulico
