Oben LH-2510 Reviews

Perfect for use with start tracker

I got this to use with an MSM wedge and a Nomad star tracker. The wedge only allowed for fine tuning for polar alignment, and I found myself having to move and re-level my tripod if I guessed wrong when positioning in daylight. This leveler allows me to rotate and re-level the star tracker very quickly. Build quality is great, and it feels very solid.

Not what I wanted, but that's my bad for not reading.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do, but I didn't notice how large the base it before buying it. In some scenarios (like using a ball head for a portrait shot), it can block the camera since it's far larger than the base of my ball head. Besides that, it's smooth and easy to lock into place. The level is fine but the red circle should be smaller, not sure why most levels are made this way, I don't want a 25% margin of error in each direction. This is a lesson for me and anyone that's done the same thing, do your research.

Is the 10 degree adjustment performed by turning the lever to loosen and tighten or does that require using the set screws?
Asked by: Alan
Turning the lever frees it for movement in all directions. It's been a huge time saver for me and very easy to use.

Will this work with the Oben GH-30? I wonder if this will be sturdy enough for a gimbal with a long lens.
Asked by: Ed
Funny you should ask. My OBEN is under a MOVO carbon fiber gimbal with a Nikon D850 & 200-500mm lens on it, all sitting atop an older Manfrotto aluminum NA08. I think it's sturdy enough. It's plenty sturdy enough with a Hasselblad X1Dii and XCD 135 w/ converter on it!
