I received my rotary laser system and unboxed it as quickly as I could to try it out. The calibration descriptions were quite clear and within a few minutes I was up and running. The tripod is very sturdy with clamps that lock securely. The laser detector was loud (quite loud actually, I'll be putting tape over mine to muffle the sound a bit) but slid smoothly up and down the boom pole. In fact, I may add a small piece of felt to help it move even more smoothly. The carrying case for the rotary laser is very well padded and seemingly well-built.
My primary buying concern was to get all the necessary pieces for a complete system in one purchase. Initially, I was planning to buy a used system off Craigslist but decided instead I didn't want a hodge-podge system.
My one request of Johnson is that I could buy a larger case that would carry perhaps everything but the pole or the tripod. One more - none of the barcodes on the product literature led to the promised video described on each. Maybe this was a momentary glitch but it certainly didn't work on my attempted.
Regardless, the system was easily understood and setup straight out of the box. So far, I'm a fan!
************One Year Update**********
And one year later...I still love this thing. It has performed flawlessly for me and earlier this week I took a picture to give you an idea of the range of the laser. You can't really see the tripod but it is sitting next to my white Tundra on the upper right side of the image. It is sending a signal out to the receiver and I'm confident I could have moved at least another 50 to 100 feet away from the transmitter. I estimate this distance at about 400 feet.

It is sending a signal out to the receiver and I'm confident I could have moved at least another 50 to 100 feet away from the transmitter. I estimate this distance at about 400 feet.
Next, don't trust the calibration from the factory. I checked mine right out of the box and it was off by at least 3/16 at about 30' on both X and Y axis. Oh, and the manual says the adjustment screws use a flat blade screwdriver. They don't. Theones on mine are a 3mm allen screw. So if you don't have one of those that's at *least* 4" long, you need to get one at the same time you order this level. One like this will do it- https://www.amazon.com/Bondhus-3756-Screwdriver-ProGuard-Finish/dp/B002U2X1SE/ref=sr_1_4?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1491585820&sr=1-4&keywords=3mm+allen+screwdriver
If you have one less than 4" long, you literally have to disassemble the horizontal base in order to access the adjustment screw for the Y axis because it's buried deep in the bowels of the level.
So let's talk about this calibration procedure. It's a huge pain in the ass. Among other things, in order to do the Y axis you have to remove the top battery in order to access the adjusting screw. So, you check the calibration. Go back to the level and turn it off and pull the battery cover. Remove the top batter on the right to be able to stick your really long allen screwdriver in there and find the screw and make your adjustment. Then put the battery back, screw the cover back on, turn the thing on, and go recheck your calibration. Too much or not enough? Go back and do it all over again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
I found it easiest and most accurate to use the grade rod and the finder to make the adjustments, which were substantial. But once I got it adjusted it seemed to hold them pretty well. One thing I discovered though, when I took it off the base, moved it around, and rechecked my calibration, it seemed to be slightly off again. But I found that by loosening the mounting screw on the tripod and slowly rotating the level a couple of times while still sitting on the head of the tripod it went right back to perfect calibration. I think this gives the pendulum the chance to center more accurately, that's all I can figure. I just know that once I did that my calibration was again dead on. Which is another thing I'll add, a lot of questions asking about the accuracy. It will be as accurate as your calibration, and your willingness to frequently check it and adjust as necessary.
I bought this to build decks. At first I was disappointed that it lacked the power I somehow came to believe it had. But I think for the money, it will do the job, and certainly comes with everything you could possibly need, I would recommend it unless you need one that you can see outside in the sun without the finder. This won't do that at all. But if you have inside work, or don't mind using the finder outside, you probably won't find a better deal anywhere for the money.
-The detector is a little bit hard to get used to at first, but it's easy once you get the hang of it.
-The tripod seems like it is built to last. It might be one of the nicest things in the kit.
-The laser module is really self explanatory and easy to use. The high speed mode works great even at long distances (> 100').
-I wish it came with a case. There's a similar level at Lowe's that I didn't notice until after I already bought this one. It seems to be just as good and it comes with a hard case for the whole kit. The Lowe's level is $20 more, but I would have gladly paid that for the case. It's very frustrating not to have a case, but I knew going in that I wasn't getting one, so oh well.

I use this for building driveways mostly helps get a good grade and make sure your even and level where you want to be. works from a good distance and 360 degrees so you can place it out of the way as long as it has a line of sight!
i would totally recommend this to anyone, much better and faster than the old sight ones and you can use this one with just one person, saves time and money.
Easy to use right out of the box the only thing is the receiver on the measuring stick is very sensitive and hard to get a perfect reading but overall still good enough to get a 100' x 80' surface within one inch
