Bosch BT 170 HD Tripod
The Bosch BT 170 HD tripod provides a stable mounting platform for high-precision optical levels and rotary lasers on demanding job sites. This heavy-duty aluminum support features a standard 5/8-inch mounting thread. It accommodates a wide range of surveying and leveling instruments used in foundation work and site grading.
Built for the Job
Site supervisors and surveyors require equipment that maintains elevation settings despite wind or ground vibrations. This stand uses a robust aluminum construction that balances weight for portability with the rigidity needed for outdoor structural work. The pointed metal feet ensure a deep grip in soft soil, clay, or gravel surfaces common in early-stage construction. When working on finished surfaces, the legs provide enough weight to remain stationary during instrument rotation. The quick-clamping system allows for rapid deployment, enabling teams to move between benchmarks without wasting time on complex leg adjustments.

On-Site & Workshop Notes
-
Ensure the 5/8″ thread is clean of debris before mounting optical instruments to prevent cross-threading.
-
Always extend the lower leg sections first when working in muddy conditions to keep the clamping mechanisms clear of grit.
-
Utilize the included shoulder strap for hands-free transport when carrying other bulky surveying gear across the site.
-
Check that all three quick-release levers are fully depressed before mounting expensive rotary laser units to ensure maximum load capacity.
