If you roll the laser on a flat table, how much does the beam wobble on the wall or does it stay in the same spot?

This is a great question, because a .308 is good for up to 600 Yards. Per the answer from Larry below, if the beam is off-center, and has a variation of 1/8" at 12 inches, using simple trigonometry, at 100 yards the dot (assuming you could even see it), would be + or - 37 inches; that is more than ONE YARD off. So, if this toy is useless to zero a rifle, then... what is it for? To play with a cat? too expensive.

It supporting the laser on a flat table to the ceiling does not move anything. I hope I've taken the doubt, my language is Spanish and write with a translator. Greetings. Eduardo

Sometimes it will slip on the initial angle setup, however, when you set it on a table or anything flat, it stays upright.

I don't have much experience with other laser pointers but it seems to be just fine when I shoot it 10-15 feet across the room.

I used this at a church dinner and it did not wobble at all. I used only 3 tiers at that time, but did not have any problem at all. I assembled it, but someone else put the cupcakes on it and they had no problem either. Hope this helps.

The rod is in direct correlation to the barrel of the gun. Except for allowance for 'drop', the laser remain on target.

I've used this out to about 50 yards, although I've never measured the beam divergence at that distance. Visually it's similar to an inexpensive laser pointer, so the spot is probably a few inches across at 100 yards.

4.5" if it sat flat on the ground to the line of the laser... BEST friggin' laser EVER!!!

The best way to test the allignment is to put it on a flat surface, perpendicular to a wall like a table top, and roll it along the surface. If the beam rolls aong in a straight line, the allignment is good. If the beam wobbles up and down, the allignment is bad. Look for GRG MFG on Youtube. Some guy demonstrates this technique.The wholesale company has some QC problems by the fact that they leave it packaged from the Chinese manufacturer with the hopes that the Chairman Hu's boys have done a good job. The supplier will otherwise exchange it promptly when you send the bad one back, no questions. I bought three and one arrived DOA, so I know from experience that these guy's are at least honest if lazy.

It could be the laser having trouble moving on its track. If you don't want to bother with that repair, I would get a refund and buy a new one.

The self-level still works...the lock function keeps the laser on while you manually turn the entire unit to get the angle you want. When the lock is not on, the laser will go off when the unit is tilted too far.

Everything about this laser is great. One thing I would advise is once the laser is set ( I suggest you do this inside on a wall) be sure to put a Lil nail polish on the set screws don't fall out. I lost mine and it doesn't come with extras. Other than that for the amount you are spending, or saving, it is a great deal!

This works very well no wobble. Just be sure to attach it well you have a couple of options i just put a board under the table as a back up and turned the screws. It is very nice.

The layout beam works great, you won't be disappointed in this laser at all on all it's functions. For the price I don't know if you could find a better laser!

It lays flat when glass side down. If flat it will wiggle. And there is a slight curve.

Kristen- I keep two large dance lights, two large strobe lights and two decent size lasers mounted on mine. Since I have two of everything it makes it easy for me to balance everything easily. If you are only putting one 38lb piece of equipment up there I am certain that as long as you keep it mounted near the center you will be just fine. The tripod legs are adjustable and allow you to get a good size separation of all three feet so your stability should remain fine.

NO !This laser device is very hard to use. Is still on my ceiling but, I don't use it anymore. You need too many back and forward movements to be in a specific position. From my opinion this item is useless.

You don't switch laser lights ;just reposition the level. When you have it on a wall pointing up you will get a 45 degree laser up the wall and across the ceiling .
