Can lay the unit on its back and shoot the laser x upwards? (in order to transfer a point from the floor to ceiling)

No. The unit will only self-level in its "standing position." There is a small pendulum mechanism inside the case that levels the laser mechanism. Laying it in any position other than the position shown causes this pendulum mechanism to fall all over itself, creating a unit malfunction. You're looking for a laser plumb line. Look up "CST/berger 77-189 FatMax PB2".

No, it can't transfer directly upward, nor can you rotate it onto its back. If you rotate it on its back with the crosshair setting activated, it will not point directly vertical. In a pinch you can accomplish the same goal, with two steps. Set the laser to shine a vertical line, then move it back from the point on the floor so that it goes through the point on the floor. Draw a light line on the ceiling. Then move it to cast a line about 90 degrees and do the same thing. Where the lines on the ceiling cross will be directly above the point on the floor. Frankly it would be easier to use a plumb bob, or, if you'll be doing this a lot, best to get a laser level with the vertical point capability.

Yes you could. However it would not be level. The mark on the ceiling would line up with the lazer, where the light comes out. It would be like using a lazer pointer you get to play with cats. Where you point it is where the light will shine.

Yes it can, however you need to use a tool to do so(tool included with the stock). Which in my opinion is a good thing since it ensures it won't move as you shoot. It's a great stock! I recommend it!

The cross lasers really won't help getting things square on the floor - though you might drop lines down from the side pointing lasers on the walls of the room in conjunction with the front laser line to do so. I have assumed those are for LEVEL more than SQUARE so I don't know the tolerances on them in reference to the front laser in that regard. You would assume that the manufacturere would endeavor to be quite accurate with that as well . Either way, this level is extremely handy and an almost setup free tool.

Of course. Just make sure the light is pointed out to whatever is behind you for maximum visibility. You don't want it aimed at an upward or downward position.

No, the laser can not be used on its side. It can not self level on its side.

I'm not sure you can. It seemingly designed to just sit on the floor and throw light up a wall.

Maybe. The main unit attaches to a mount via a magnet. The mount attaches to the wall/ ceiling via double sided tape. The magnet is strong enough to hold the unit upside down, so it would depend on the strength of the double sided tape. There is also a hole in the mount that would allow you to hang it from a screw. As long as you can put the mount securely on the surface (tape or screw), the magnet will hold the leveler.

Yes, but you must have the laser and/or light turned on before first holstering it. Another point is I sent my 5CL laser/light unit back because it wouldn't hold it's aim setting. Settings for elevation and windage did not hold, even with the unit just being in the holster and the gun not being fired. Unacceptable! Viridian has great customer service, though.

Nothing could be mounted on the top of the gun due to all the mechanism. There is enough space under the front that you could mount a red-dot laser pointer.

I'm not 100% sure that I understand your question. That said, based on what I think you are asking I will say this. You can put this device on the floor of the first floor and the line will shoot up on the wall of the second floor. That is, provided there is no ceiling separating the two floors and you are far enough away from the wall. The closer to the wall that you place this device the lower the line travels up the wall. The further away from the wall the higher up the wall the line travels. I do not know the maximum angle the laser travels. You might be able to get that from the Bosch's website. Once you have that you can do some basic trig to see how far up the wall the laser will shoot based on the distance it is from the wall....

Sure- That's what I did. However, you may have to use a tin snips to make an exit hole in the base (for the cord) if you want to flush mount it to the ceiling.
534158
Sure can. It is heavy though and comes in multiple pieces... Make sure you have high ceilings as well.

I don't see why not. Because it's an actual laser, the start project rather far. Though, the nebula feature, being just a regular light projection may be blurred on a higher ceiling.

Since this is just a tripod, you can use a laser level mounted to the top. Laser levels come with many different options, I have used them to put drop ceilings in before and found them to be very handy. Of course, you can always go old-school and use a Waterlevel:)

Yes, when you are "ranging" (holding down the range button) you get continuous readings of whatever the laser is bouncing off of, and you can move the range-finder around while you are doing that. The pin distance will come up as you wave back and forth across it. So you don't need to be very steady.

Yes. It pops up, and is flexible so you can point it towards the ceiling and soften the flash.

You can have the lamp become vertical. Also you can bend the lamp backwards and have the light shine to the ceiling. It can be moved in any direction.
