Sunwayfoto DYH-68 Leveling Base Reviews

Great device, provide a lot of flexibility.

I had previously purchase a new center column from a well known tripod m manufacture. I was somewhat disappointed due to the design. Purchase this device for less than one half and found it could be used on all types of tripods. The more expensive unit could only be used on on model and one manufacturer. Well build and functional.

without an offset bubble level I can't see it, the tripod head covers it completely. Any suggestions?

You can use a small bubble level in the camera hot shoe or just sitting on the camera or plate: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/780405-REG/Vello_BL_HS2_Two_Axis_Hot_Shoe_Bubble_Level.html
