Product Description
The Spectra Precision HV1305C-SC-2 is a fully equipped, general-purpose construction laser system built for contractors who need reliable horizontal and vertical reference planes across a wide range of interior finish and exterior layout applications. This complete kit ships ready to work right out of the box, including the HV1305C laser, the high-sensitivity HL760 receiver, a wireless remote control, an inch-graduated grade rod, a heavy-duty tripod, and a protective carrying case. Whether you're setting elevations on a commercial floor pour or aligning partition walls in a multi-unit residential build, the HV1305C-SC-2 delivers the accuracy, range, and versatility professionals demand.
Built for the Jobsite
The HV1305C-SC-2 is engineered to handle the full spectrum of tasks that residential and commercial contractors encounter daily. The self-leveling mechanism compensates for minor instrument tilt, getting you on grade fast without manual fine-tuning. With the HL760 receiver extending the working range outdoors, this kit performs in bright daylight conditions where a naked red beam would be invisible. The wireless remote lets a single operator control the laser from across the room or across the site, eliminating the back-and-forth that slows down solo work.

Job Applications
Interior Framing & Partition Layout: Project a vertical plane to establish stud lines, doorframe alignment, and ceiling grid reference across large open floor plans. Work solo with the remote while verifying alignment from multiple vantage points.
Suspended Ceiling & Dropped Ceiling Systems: Set a horizontal reference plane to hang wire and position main tees consistently across an entire commercial bay or residential basement, cutting layout time significantly compared to chalk lines and water levels.
Foundation & Site Elevation Control: Pair the HV1305C with the HL760 receiver and grade rod for exterior elevation checks during footing layout, grading, and concrete formwork. The extended 2,000 ft range handles large lots and commercial pads without repositioning.
Plumbing & Alignment Tasks: Use the vertical beam plane to align columns, check post plumb, or set reference lines for tile, cabinetry, and millwork installations where precision and repeatability are critical to finished quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the HV1305C-SC-2 be used outdoors in daylight?
- Yes. While the red beam is difficult to see with the naked eye in bright sunlight, the included HL760 receiver detects the beam at distances up to 2,000 ft in full daylight, making this kit fully capable for exterior grading, foundation layout, and site elevation work.
- Does this laser self-level automatically?
- Yes. The HV1305C features an automatic self-leveling mechanism with a ±5° compensation range. If the instrument is set up outside that range, it will alert you rather than project an inaccurate beam, protecting against costly layout errors.
- Can one person operate this system without a helper?
- Absolutely. The included wireless remote control allows a single operator to power the laser on or off, switch between horizontal and vertical modes, and manage instrument functions from across the jobsite without returning to the instrument each time.
- What thread size is the tripod mount, and is it compatible with standard survey tripods?
- The HV1305C uses the industry-standard 5/8 in. x 11 thread, which is compatible with virtually all professional survey and construction tripods. The included tripod uses this same thread, and any aftermarket 5/8 in. x 11 tripod or elevator rod will also work with this laser.
Why This Equipment
Auto Self-Leveling
Compensates for job site movement and setups — no manual leveling required.
Long Range
Reach 2,600+ ft with a receiver — covers large pads and site-wide grading without moving.
IP55+ Protection
Dust-tight and water jet resistant — built for outdoor construction in any weather.
Radio Remote
Change grade or elevation from the cab or anywhere on site without walking back.
The right rotary laser pays for itself in weeks.
A grade checker costs $600–800 per day. A quality rotary laser setup eliminates that cost indefinitely — and works faster. One operator with a good laser and receiver can cover ground that used to take a two-person crew.
The gap between a budget unit and a professional-grade one shows up in the field: self-leveling range on uneven pads, IP55+ protection through rain and dust, and radio remote control so you're not walking back to the instrument every time the job moves.
Express Tools is an authorized dealer with genuine, factory-fresh inventory and same-day shipping on in-stock units. We know this equipment and can answer spec questions before you order.
