Product Information

Full details

The Draper VarioStand 45 cm is a compact and robust aluminum tripod designed for users needing stable, low-level mounting for laser measuring devices. Its key benefit is providing exact and reliable installation for precise measurements, especially in tight spaces or near floors. A minor caveat is its limited maximum height, making it less suitable for applications requiring significant elevation.

Is this tripod suitable for outdoor use?

While it is durable, its low maximum height makes it best suited for indoor applications or specific outdoor tasks that do not require significant elevation. Ensure it is placed on stable ground.

Troubleshooting

Tripod feels unstable

Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked. Place the tripod on a flat, firm surface. Adjust leg angles for maximum stability.

Crank mechanism is stiff

Wipe down the crank and telescopic legs with a dry cloth. If persistent, a small amount of silicone lubricant on the moving parts may help, but avoid over-application.

Laser device is wobbly on the thread

Ensure the 1/4" thread on the tripod is clean and free of debris. Make sure the laser device's mounting point is also clean. Screw the device on firmly but do not overtighten.
