Optics Flipped Down
Depending on which side you mount the unit, you flip the platform either vertically or horizontally. By flipping out vertically the optics goes beneath the common level of the optical scheme. Still one leg of the base, with an adjustment screw on it, stays up. Yet this wouldn’t obstruct the optical path, as it wouldn’t when the optics was flipped in. Legs protruding upwards ease your access to the adjustment screws, with less risk of obscuring the beam. No need to design the legs extended down, so as to clear the space totally.
