Home improvement support that speeds up levelling and keeps tools steady, DEWALT Mini Tripod is a compact, adjustable stand for laser levelling and light-mounted devices. Faster setups reduce site stress and remove the need to balance lasers on ladders. Will the construction stand up to regular site use?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Stability: Rubber feet plus 2-stage telescopic legs deliver a steady base on uneven ground
  • Best for: Tradespeople, surveyors and DIYers using laser levelling or light mounts
  • Not ideal for: Support for very heavy instruments beyond a mini tripod's capacity

Extendable legs reach from 0.75m to 1.84m, supplying a 1/4"-20 mounting thread and an elevating head with crank. Aluminium construction keeps weight down while the integrated vial helps achieve accurate levelling.


Quicker setup and fine adjustment – with an elevating head and crank

An elevating head with a crank allows micro-height changes without re-positioning legs, and the head can tilt and adjust for aiming. Two-stage telescopic legs let the stand collapse for transport and extend for use.

Faster height tweaks cut setup time on site, making repetitive levelling jobs less fiddly and safer. Precise crank control avoids awkward ladder adjustments when aligning lasers.

Accurate alignment on uneven surfaces – with an integrated vial on the head

An integrated vial on the head gives a visual reference for levelling while rubber feet increase grip on rough terrain. The head's tilt capability permits fine directional adjustments without moving the base.

Visual levelling speeds up alignment and reduces guesswork, so lasers and small cameras sit true first time. Stable positioning lowers the chance of rework or measurement errors.

Easy to carry between jobs – thanks to aluminium construction and a soft bag

Aluminium construction keeps the tripod lightweight yet sturdy, and a soft storage bag is included for transport and protection. The legs collapse to a compact form that fits a van or toolkit.

Lightweight handling reduces fatigue when moving kit around site and the bag keeps components together. Regular transport and storage are simpler, which helps maintain longevity.
