A fixture for mounting a laser to an extended edge, such as ship bulkhead, so that precision measurements can be made at close ranges, including over-the side situations. The fixture has a set of attached mounting plates, the first of which includes a ring assembly on which multiple types of lasers can be mounted. The fixture also has a plate with a hook and clamping mechanism to secure the fixture to the extended edge. Gussets connect the plates at an angle that helps creates a wide range of sight for the laser, as well as a secure rotational pivot point to assist with laser mounting after the fixture is attached to an edge. This fixture allows the laser operator to forgo tripods and similar fixtures which, at ground level and close quarters, allow only a limited field of view, as well as elevated, over the side situations, which are awkward and unsafe for set up and adjustment.
