frank uhlig Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 <p>Use google! "tripod level" gives you 5 Mio answers! Or search here, please. Dozens of such things exist at B+H, too.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 <p>Bogen/Manfrotto and Acratech make leveling heads that fit between the column and the head on any tripod. These give you up to 7 degrees of adjustment in any direction to get perfect leveling of the head. You can easily eyeball the tripod and adjust its legs to within this range (it takes about 10 seconds to get within 2 degrees with the legs alone).</p> <p>The Acratech is lighter and finished nicer than the Manfrotto, but twice as expensive. Look in <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com">www.bhphotovideo.com</a> and search for "leveling head".</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_m Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 <p>I have the Acratech leveling base sitting under a Markins head. It's a *very* nice & compact unit. highly recommended. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_kerfoot Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 <p>Hi Sean<br /> Not sure if this is what you are looking for (its a bubble level mounted on a plate which fits between the tripod and balhead) but here is a link to look at. Its Really Right Stuff part number is BH40-LVL.<br> <br /> http://reallyrightstuff.com/rrs/items.asp?Cc=Ballhead40&iTpStatus=0&Tp=&Bc<br /> HTH<br /> Paul</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
