Gitzo GSLVLS Overview

The GSLVLS Leveling Base from Gitzo is a basic leveling accessory designed for use with the Systematic series of tripods.

Ideal for flat base tripod heads, the GSLVLS is designed to help users level a standard tripod or fluid head in order to maintain level horizons and reduce time-consuming post processing corrections. Use of the leveling base requires a 75mm ball adapter which is available for all series 3, 4, & 5 Systematic tripod legs.

The leveling base features a lightweight aluminum construction which adds a negligible 0.8 lb to your existing tripod setup. The standard 3/8"-16 top mounting screw will accommodate most tripod heads and is connected to a tightening lever to secure the head and prevent unwanted twisting.

What is the maximum degrees this will tilt forwards?
Asked by: John
Gitzo GSLVLS Leveling Base for Systematic Tripods is a leveling base. So, like most leveling bases they are not made to tilt a huge amount. Manfrotto does not list the amount. But with it in a 75mm bowl as it needs to be in my guess is around 7 degrees or so. It is really to fine to the level.

Unfortunately no. The 1325 had a center column while the GSLVLS Leveling base is for a Systematic tripod with a 75mm bowl mount.

Do I need the Gitzo branded 75mm bowl adapter if my non-Gitzo tripod already came with a 75mm bowl? Thank you for your help.
Asked by: Ben
You do not need the Gitzo 75mm Bowl Adapter to use the Gitzo GSLVLS Leveling Base for Systematic Tripods if your tripod has a 75mm removable bowl.
