The Johnson Automatic Level is easier to use and quicker to set up than a builder’s level and transit level. It has a circular level or bulls-eye level mounted on the center to facilitate leveling. Once the bubble on the circular level is centered, a compensator takes over and maintains a true level line of sight and no further leveling is required at the location.

With its wire-hung magnetically dampened compensator, this level remains accurate and level through ground vibrations, operator handling as well as temperature changes. The Johnson Automatic Level horizontal circle is marked with 360 degrees graduations, used for setting and reading horizontal angles and with 1:100 stadia for distance estimation. It also comes with a focusable cross-hairs and 5/8"-11 threads for standard tripods.

This automatic level features a large easy-to-use focusing knob and fine adjustment knobs on left and right sides with an endless horizontal drive. It comes with a prism for bubble viewing and a top-mounted optical sight for quick reference. The Johnson Automatic Level Series is water and dust resistant for use in most weather conditions. It includes an instruction manual with warranty card and hard-shell carrying case.
