I have this and like it. Foot pedal allows spring loading of ceiling pad if you're going to use that.

About that mount for the laser. If you use the existing hole 1/4-20 right next to the 5/8-11 that you put your converter into, then it would still be flat underneth.

Thanks Matt. I have been through all of the same issues you mentioned with the 3rd Hand pole. I found the Johnson laser pole, which is exactly like the Firecore, at Lowe's for the same price.

A good tripod needs to be able to adjust for unlevel ground. I used a photography tripod for that, but it didn't have enough height, but i already had it. For indoor use, you could get away with a shower caddy pole with adjustable height to lock to the top and bottom surfaces, perhaps buying two to allow for high ceilings.

Good stuff Matt. Cheers

Horrible review. Guess i should have read the comedic part of the page title.
