Just dug out my Bosch self levelling laser with tripod.

However it only self levels if it is within 4 degrees of horizontal.

If I want to set a level near the ceiling I need the head of the laser
over 2 metres off the ground.

That's one hell of a tripod!

Any clever tricks for getting the laser level head up that high (with or
without a tripod)?

I could get the height by combining the tripod and tall steps but then the
feet of the tripod would have to be very close together and probably make
the whole thing unstable.

Cheers

Many laser levels have available mounting brackets for screwing (or
holding magnetically) e.g. Bosch BM1

Stick a screw in the wall, and hang it on that... (there should be a
hanging point in its holster - if yours has not got one, then a couple
of bit of wood screwed together to make a simple shelf for it) .

Good spot. :-)

So a plasterboard lifter (I have two) plus a camera clamp off eBay should
do the job nicely.

Bodged it with a wobbly balance on top of a tall pair of steps.

Not satisfactory from more than very occasional use, though.
