I use a roofing batten oversized for the ceiling height and jammed in position. Then drive in some screws for the magnetic base. Or use the nearest shelf and measure a consistent offset from the laser line to the exact position I need

If you can get one with a pole and attachment for the pole it makes putting a line at pretty much any level possible.
The poles stretch between floor and ceiling. Poles for plasterboarding ceilings are very similar.

I've got the same (I think) as Grumpy_Git. Not amazing in bright light, but has done what I need.
I use mine with my granny's vintage travel tripod. For me getting it the right height is the biggest mission. Although Idk how it would be any different with an expensive one.
I think I've heard people rate the dewalt one if you want to spend more. The one around the £100-150 mark not the super expensive one.
