  • Patent number: 9909867
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein that provide for remote leveling and positioning. An embodiment includes a leveling device assembly having an electronic leveling device and a housing with an elongated housing body. The housing can include an elongated cavity body that defines a cavity with the electronic leveling device disposed within the cavity; a tip disposed at a first end of the cavity body; and a first and second arm that extend from a second end of the cavity body that each include a base portion coupled to the second end of the cavity body that defines a channel at the second end that opens into a coupling slot defined by respective arm shafts of the arms that extend from the base portions of the arm, the arms each extending to an arm head at a distal portion of the arms.
