DEWALT Tripod Stand, Heavy Duty, Construction Tripod, Built-In Strap for Easy Transport on Jobsites (DW0737)

If you have read any of my reviews you've probably seen that I am a ham radio operator. I purchased this tripod to be used in portable antenna setups. I use a telescopic whip and made a 3D printed adapter. The tripod is very durable and works quite well.

Bought this along with a grade rod for a construction project. The tripod comes with a nylon strap and fastener around the bottom of the legs to easily transport it and keep legs from flying open on you. I found it easy to set up, the sharp tips dig into the soil and the flared portion keeps is stable in soils or in stone like you find on a jobsite. Each leg extends at the flip of a lever and a bubble level lets you know that you have it level or close to level. My rotary laser levels itself up to 3.5 Deg. so its fast and easy to set up the legs and mount the level. There is a large brass screw for the tool connection, comes with a small black plastic cap to keep the threads clean, and has a bent metal piece at the end of a short chain to hang whatever you need to keep handy. I found that the legs are sturdy when I pushed on it, they don't easily come loose, its easy to adjust but not so heavy and cumbersome that it is a chore to carry and set up. I've seen other professional trades using this too. If you were a trade that had to use this every day, such as an excavator you may want to look to a larger tripod, but for everyone else this should suffice. I especially like the nylon straps to hold it together and carry it around. Keeps it from getting awry in my car with the other tools.

This is a solid tripod for your laser or whatever else you need to mount. It is sturdy, plenty large to handle most rotary lasers with ease, and it's light enough to be easy to transport. I like the carry strap, and it's fast to set up and easy to get level. I also like that it's (apparently) all aluminum, and powder coated or plastic on other areas, so if you leave it in the rain it's not the end of the world and it doesn't seem to rust.

DeWalt quality as expected. Lightweight for carrying, heavy duty for function. Fast to deploy, easy to level, easy to mount on. Fine vertical adjustments are completely on you, no little crank like it's lightweight counterparts. This isn't a deal breaker though, because those lightweight gimmicks are not worth the money. For that, you're better off buying a $20 camera tripod because that's all the name brand tool tripods really are anyway. 99% metal construction, the only plastic are the leg release levers, quarter inch mounting adapter, and buckles on the carrying strap. The only negative I can see is a 3-year warranty versus lifetime, but I don't ever expect this beast to break. If you're on the fence, this is the one to buy.

light weight

good quality, no problems

The quality and fit of the DeWalt tripod were and continue to be far beyond my expectations! My 1980's era Lienz transit T20 device with triangular base fit PERFECTLY on the triangular head, as if made for it. To emphasize, the quality and workmanship of this tripod are way and far beyond what I had expected! You will not be disapointed. One thing I would like is some kind of latching for the legs or a Y brace to prevent accidential collapse due to slippage. But NONE of the other manufacturers offer that. Perhaps it is this way to allow the surveyor to work the tripod level on unlevel and rough topopgrahical ground. But I love the quality, build, color -- everything! Thanks to Amazon for offering this product!

My husband and I are redoing our yard from the ground up using a dozer and a laser. We put the laser on this tripod and it was such a great affordable investment. It stayed steady and balanced on our rutted up yard, all legs extend to make it to the right adjustment, and the flat top kept the laser in place. It has a strap hat makes it easy to carry also. Definitely five stars for quality, looks, and use.
