Works, but is stiff

I've used this leveling head a few times now and I have to say it's stiff and it doesn't lock down very well.

Pleased with purchase

My first experience with a leveling head. Seems to me very well made. Easy to use. Nice damping/tension. I'm pleased with the purchase.

Is the bubble level removable? What size hex key is needed?
Asked by: Colin
Yes, the Desmond Leveling Base with Butterfly Lock Collar's (65mm) bubble level can be removed. The screws holding the bubble level in place are 2.5mm, and a 2.5mm hex key is included with the levelling base.
