I am already an RRS user so I was a bit biased to get an RRS leveling base. I'm using it with the RRS TVC-33 tripod and have the TA-2U leveling base attached to the tripod base with the supplied 3/8 stud. If you own/buy the RRS tripod models that allow you to remove the tripod's plate, you'll be able to conveniently drop-in the leveling base onto the tripod head for an even sleaker configuration. It works great! Another reason I picked this one was for the +/-20 degree swing. I find myself often shooting on a heavily sloped beach. I used to have to adjust the legs to get a level horizon and re-adjust as the legs settle into the sand, especially when a few inches of sea water rushes past the legs. It's now easier quickly to re-level.

I have a Gitzo 3543LS tripod. How does the base of the TA-2U-LC fit onto the 3/8 screw when it appears to have a bowl shape?
Asked by: Rosemary
The Really Right Stuff TA-2U Leveling Base with Lever-Release Clamp has a built in leveling base that will simulate the bowl. Underneath is the thread that can mount on the base of the Gitzo GT3543LS Systematic Carbon Fiber Tripod (B&H # GIGT3543LS), like any ball head.
