A good unit that cost too much [Posted on 2002-01-30]
I really can't see why they have so many versions of this. Just make the Gizmo III for the Gizmo price and you have something to talk about. The first unit I received had a very dim vertical crosshairs. The next day it brightened, but I sent it back for another anyway. The floor to ceiling stand is great and much needed. Be sure you get the stand.It sets up quickly and make the whole package more functional. The Gizmo III needs more power to push those beams further. In a bright room it is hard to see those lines. But it is a good unit and recommended. I use it to check cabinet level from one side of the room to other. Also mirros, pictures, windows, etc can be checked for plumb and level.
Also check out Pacific Laser Systems PLS2 [Posted on 2002-08-21]
A laser cross is a really useful tool, and I was considering the various Gizmo models until I found the smaller, lighter, PLS2 Palm Laser from Pacific Laser Systems. It costs a little more than the cheapest Gizmo model, but the PLS2 has a 1/4" (camera tripod) mounting thread instead of 5/8". That means I can use the PLS2 with my existing camera tripod, whereas with the Gizmo I would need the Laser Pole to use it, and that just becomes one more bulky piece of equipment to store in my house. If CST/Berger made a 5/8"-to-1/4" adapter to allow you to use the Gizmo on a standard camera tripod I might have bought the Gizmo, but they don't.
