Perfect Travel Tripod

I Travel Often For My Photography And I Wanted A Small But Sturdy Tripod To Use With My GFX100sII. I Will Say After Many Trips, Not Only Has It Held Up Really Well, It Is Extremely Sturdy. I Often Do 2 Minute Exposures And The Images Come Out Tack Sharp. I Posted Some Long Exposure Images Taken With This Setup.. I Have Exhibited These Images In Galleries At 30x40 And They Are Perfectly Sharp. Love This Tripod.

Before I purchased this tripod I wasn't sure if it would be tall enough. It's as tall as my Manfrotto 055XPROB. I'm '5 10 and it is taller than me. Extremely well built. It collapses to be a nice small package.

Can I use the spacing plate and a leveling base (?)
The Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber Three Series Tripod has a flat top with a 3/8" 16 mounting stud, and the GX35 head also has a flat 3/8" 16 base mount so any leveling base that accepts a standard 3/8" 16 can be mounted in place of the ball-head. Yes, a spacer / plate can be used between the tripod and a larger head.

Is the Benro GDHAD1 Tripod Spacer necessary when attaching the Benro 3-Way Geared Head (GD3WH) to this tripod?
You do need the Benro GDHAD1 Tripod Spacer to use the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head with the Benro Tortoise Columnless Carbon Fiber Three Series Tripod with GX35 Ball Head. The geared head knobs are a touch too low and can hit the tripod.
