Is it possible to lock the laser so as to tilt it at an angle?

Yes, you can lock the beam and tilt it. Both the horizontal and vertical beam will be on at the same time and locked.

Good news! Yes, you can do it. Skill calls it the manual mode. Just press the mode button 3 times until indicator LED turns red instead of green. And now you could tilt it at whichever angle desirable.

Not really. IIRC, they claim a mode where you can tilt it up to 4 degrees, but I didn't find that useful at all. In some cases I had to put the tripod on a table or other objects to get to desired height. Tripod that is included is useless - too small and too shaky, I use my wife's professional photo tripod instead.

There is no true lock function despite what the instructions say. I confirmed this with SKIL customer service some time back I think. But what you can do is place the level in manual mode and use it to project non-level lines, i.e. tilting it beyond the self-level range of 4 degrees. The laser simply is against its internal movement stops in that case. In manual mode, the flashing beam warning for out-of-range is disabled plus the green/red light on top stays red. A bit more handling care might be warranted in this case since the laser is not truly locked

Yes, you can adjust the angle a bit, anywhere from closed to a bit past a 90 degree angle. It does not open flat though.

You can tilt but it's at the bottom of the monopod. I haven't found the tilt head necessary.

Yes, you can make the lamp head tilt up and down as well as tilt left to right.... the locks work pretty well, though I don't think I'd ask them to let me make adjustments every day.

You can tilt the back to any angle. There's a lever that releases the back and then it can tilt the full range. You then re-engage the lever at any point to lock the back tilt wherever you want it.

No. It's impossible to adjust the angle each way.It is already fixed in one way and you can't also change the drawer position.I wish it will be helpful to you.

No. The outside of the bracket is smooth and the inside has notches that interlock with notches on the bar itself so you can set your angle accordingly. I was hoping the same thing but it still works out good

Look on the side of the laser. There is a small vertical handle with lines on it. Push it in slightly and turn it counter-clockwise. Needle nose pliers helps.

There are three allen key screws in front of the laser.. that adjusts the up down left wright

Yes - the lever that controls the vertical (height) also locks/unlocks the tilt.

You can tilt the boom light in almost any direction, except for straight up. There are several different adjustment knobs, you just have to play around with each one to figure out which one will acheive the angle you're hoping for.

No it cannot. You can change the angle of the light until it is almost vertical, but not beyond that.

Sure. The laser is pin-point. There probably is a limit to how small it will go. Some surface mount components are too small to even see! :-0

If you look at the picture, there is a thumb screw at the bottom and on the side. The thumb screw at the bottom loosens so you can remove the light from the holder and carry it around if you want, or you can loosen it to adjust the tilt side to side. The thumbscrew right below the base loosens so you can adjust it up and down.

their write up states "Lock Mode - Allows user to manually control laser for angled installation (ie aligning staircase railings)" which i do believe it has. I just have not used it in that capacity yet. It works great though, have used it for hanging kitchen cabinets, tile (wall and floor), installing electrical boxes, etc...

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.

It cannot be angled -- you're right, it is in a fixed position. But I believe the other small model can be tilted.
