I got a good deal on some used tripod legs on an auction site, and needed an adapter to mount a used fluid head on it. Works great, fit perfectly! It's also a lot less expensive than other ball head adapters out there, which helps.

Comments about Manfrotto 500BALL 100mm Ball Leveler for 3141, 3190, 3191, 3192 & 3193 Tripods:
Even though I'm using a Manfroto 501 head (flat base) on a set of Cartoni legs, the adaptor works like a charm. No more fussing with the length of the individual legs to affect the level - one qucik twist-level-countertwist operation and I'm ready to shoot. The time savings really add up. ...and you look more professional. Since it screws on to the base of the head, you can change the product out to different heads and legs or remove it completely in a snap should you need a flat base.

This item works perfectly with my Manfrotto tripod and Manfrotto hi-hat. The grip allows for a tight twist, locking the leveler into position. It is exactly what I was looking for.

If you're on a budget and want to buy good tripod legs but can't quite afford an expensive pro fluid head yet (almost all are half-bowl mount), this adapter will let you mount a less expensive flat-base head like the 501/503 series on good sticks till you're ready to move up. Getting the camera or camcorder and head level with a bowl-mount tripod is so much easier than adjusting leg lengths, once you get one, you'll wonder why you wasted time with a flat mount model.

Now I can utilize my gear head without carrying multiple tripods. Having the ability to do a final level without moving the legs is great.

I use in my 3141 tripod.
You don't need to open the tripod legs to level.

I bought this separate from the tripod (a used Bogen 3192) and it works great. Smooth, sturdy and sleek. I love it.

I used this to connect a 501 head to 515 legs. I like that when using this you do not have to level the pod by adjusting the legs. You can just swivel this into place.
